Snake Eyes and La Bamba in April of 1999.

I got my DVD player on February 28, 1999 and I bought Austin Powers & The Truman Show that day, I can't remember which I bought first. I still have Austin Powers, I sold Truman Show years ago.

On a side note, my first Blu-Ray was Scooby-Doo and my first HD-DVD was a three way tie between The Mummy, The Mummy Returns and Land of the Dead.

In Sept of '98 when I purchased my first PC (with DVD drive) I picked up:

Ghost in the Shell
Blade Runner

.. and I believe Alien and Apocalypse Now were the others. This was all before I picked up a stand alone player.

The same as the first VHS tapes I bought-
Citizen Kane
Monty Python & the Holy Grail

Wow, I can remember the first VHS tapes my family bought around 1980 (Bananas & Annie Hall) and the first Laserdisc I bought back in 1986 (Freaks), but I cannot remember my first DVD.

Looks like "The Matrix" holds the most votes for 1st purchase. i know i had the snapper version but i don't see it listed in my online collection so i guess i got rid of it sometime after i got the UE disc.

Didn't even own a DVD player at the time, but it was Pink Floyd - The Wall (movie)

second, after finally getting a DVD player, was Fight Club - 2 Disc SE

Supergirl - Limited Edition (1984) it was less than $10 and I love it...

First DVD I ever bought was the original special edition release of Little Shop of Horrors. I found it and bought it at a Suncoast on July 25, 2000, four months before I would actually have a DVD player. Paying $25 for a title that was out of print for 2 1/2 years at the time was the best bargain in town (considering that it was fetching high prices on eBay at the time). I still have it, although it is curently being borrowed. I will get it back one way or another.

To this day, it is the crown jewel of my DVD collection, which is currently at 771 DVDs.

Star Trek: Insurrection. I bought it back in 1998 when I didn't even own a DVD player yet. However, it's long gone now as I upgraded it to the 2-disc version a few years ago.

The 1st DVD I ever bought when I actually got a DVD player was Rush Hour 1, which I still own today.

I got my first DVD player in 1998. I bought Swingers, Blade and The Avengers (because it was the cheapest DVD in the store).

Nurse Betty. Good movie to share with the wife.

Sparrow 12-31-08 09:57 PM

It's a toss up between, Wag the Dog and Terminator 2. I actually don't remember the first BD, which is also a toss up between The Fifth Element and Stargate (a household staple for whatever reason)

Maxflier 12-31-08 10:49 PM

Charlie's Angels
