Re: Rate My DVD Collection
Noted and ordered...almost. I'm trying to figure out what to get with it, either Freaks or the Tremors Attack Pack (all 4 films) which are both the same price. Need to make up my mind in the next 20 minutes....Thanks guys
edit...went w/Tremors. I haven't seen any of the sequels, so more bang for the buck. $19 for 5 flicks, but had a little credit at Wherehouse.com so only $10. Thanks again for the recommendation and to Scott for his list.

With the sequels, I watch the 2nd one more than the first, and 3 is decent and 4 isn't very good but I watch from time to time.
I know I hate dvd buying dilemmas, right now i can't decide between to get Universal's Invisible Man collection or Vertigo and Rear Window.
And i looked at your collection again Dino, not that is was going to change too much between now and Feb, but you still have a great collection, still an A

Damn, that's a lot of steelbooks! I didn't even know several of those existed. What are the futureshop exclusives? Is it a store that makes custom steelbooks and are they expensive? I've never really searched for them specifically, instead I've either gotten them through the mail without knowing or picked them up at best buy if they were the same price as the regular case versions. It was pretty cool to get the Robocop steelbook in the mail...that case just fits that movie perfectly. I'm curious as the whether you are collecting the actual steelbooks or are just a fan of all those films.
I'd really like to get that Terminator S.1 steelbook. More so for just that cover.
I'm looking through your bigger list now....already found one I want "Dead & Buried"...would you recommend it? I know with my dvds, everything I own I would recommend outside a few (i.e. Me, Myself & Irene...I can't remember why I bought that...must have been really cheap).
It's funny looking through this list bc I can almost guarantee where and around when you bought some of them. IE, I just saw Squirm and I bet you bought that through Secondspin w/the HEYNOW code. Am I close?

right now there seems to be a moratorium on all SteelBooks
but i love the things as you can see. i get them for the movies first and then the case. i wouldn't get a SteelBook for a movie i am not interested in at all. for a complete list go to the thread in the Covers and Cases forum."Dead & Buried" as mentioned is a nice little horror flick.
don't know where i got Squirm but it was probably a B&M, never got anything from Secondspin.

I'm actually not a big fan of the Burton Batman films, I can sit through the first one and at times the 2nd one. With Superman I am happy with 1&2 though I may pick up 3 if I can ever find it cheap enough, and with Spidy i actually have all three films but i put Spiderman 3 in the blu-ray category. And I believe I have all three X-Men films as well. I cannot bring myself to buy Batman and Robin or Superman IV, but again thanx for the grade.

edit - found em.
Half way there ....But I assume since the Schumacher romper room BM versions are ignored you're not a big fan of those as well...

From your name and previous posts I honestly didn't need to even look at your collection but I did just to be fair, and its safe to say your grade would be DVD GOD.
How is "The Big Red One", I caught some of it on TV a few years ago but it was about an hour into it so i stopped watching it.

Impressive, most impressive.
There are a lot of things I probably wouldn't own but you have just about everything I own or would want to own.
All in all I would say that that's the most respectable collection I have ever seen.
There are a few things missing though...

Christ, throw the guy a bone for fuck sake. It's like you all shy away ....and for what purpose? As if it will kill you to dig for a recommendation. Perfect my ass. There is no and never will be a perfect collection. Get a grip ...or some much needed creativity.

I said that there were some things missing and that there's a lot of stuff I don't care for. It is a good collection and there's no reason for me to kiss his ass.

Re: Rate My DVD Collection
Anyone want to take a look at my collection? I haven't asked in a while and have added some new things since last time. Keep in mind that I DO have some blind buys in there but actually the majority of my "to-watch" films/TV shows are things I have seen before but haven't watched/finished watching on DVD yet.

Sorry guys ..drinking, being stupid and posting is a bad idea.
But the point of my post remains. With a little creativity I'm sure something could be found for NoirFan's collection even as imposing as it seems to be ...

The last time I offered mine up I was told I have too much junk. I have sold a lot and bought a lot, but the same is probably still true.

Re: Rate My DVD Collection
Good collection, its more diverse than mine so i can't judge you there. I've never understood the love for "Friends" but that's a matter of opinion. The one suggestion I have if you are really into animation(which clearly you are) and you enjoy the Teen Titans you may try Ben 10. My kids got me into it, it has that kid feel at times like Titans, but it doesn't get as dark as Titans did in its five seasons but still is really entertaining(I think the newer Ben 10 series is closer to Titans in atmosphere than the original series but i haven't watched any of it yet).
I am very proud of my collection and I appreciate hearing that you think it's diverse... there is at least one area where I wish it was much greater: classic films. I own so few, yet there are plenty that I love. I'm going to try and build this over the next year via Columbia House. We'll see how that goes.

I own Wild Strawberries, and have Grey Gardens and The Straight Story on my wishlist. I enjoyed The Sting, but it's not something I necessarily want to own. I may rent Frailty again, it's been a while since I've seen it. Death and the Maiden is one I've always been interested in - added it to my Netflix queue. Thanks for the suggestions.

I don't buy movies because they are popular or critically acclaimed or because they're the sort of DVD the people I hang out with probably have or because I think it might impress other people if they saw it in my house or if I showed them a list having that particular title.
{/QUOTE]
(raises hand): I fall into the category of trying to impress others with my DVD collection. I think partly I try to do that b/c I have yet to graduate college and get a job where I can impress people with my broadcasting/tv production skills. I can relate to people who show off their collections.... John Waters is always inviting reporters to his house and showing them the various collections of things he has.

Re: Rate My DVD Collection
Your Steelbook's are just awesome.
Your collection I'd say is an A. Glad to see somebody else who owns the brilliant "Plaga Zombie: Mutant Zone", If I was going to recommend something I'd say check out Baby Blues. It's a very good small horror film about a mother who believes god wants her to kill her children. Tough to watch (that is, if you don't like seeing kids in danger)..
also, where did you get the "Once More, With Feeling" disc? Been meaning to pick that up.
