Last night, I popped in my Blade 2 dvd, and got hit with some nostalgia. Wow, I can't believe that I bought this disc way back in 2002. 8 years ago. I remember that I had jumped on the dvd bandwagon that year, and became a glutton for any dvd loaded with extras.

Blade 2 was my first two-disc purchase, and I loved it. The disc offered two great commentaries, and hours of production videos and docs. I enjoyed going through every single bit, and even finding the easter eggs...

Nowdays, I just don't have the time to devout hours to a dvd, and bonus features aren't much of a big deal anymore.

Anyone else remember their first two-disc dvd?

Probably Fight Club in late 2000, I believe.

Either Fight Club or Terminator 2 (Ultimate Edition), can't remember which.
That said, the first DVD I remember buying (Three Kings) wasn't a 2-disc, but it might as well have been.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show: 25th Anniversary

I didn't think I'd be able to figure it out, but I think this is actually what mine was too.

Ditto. Also one of the first three DVDs I got, if not the first.

I didnt start collecting until about 2002 I think it was Spider Man

Gladiator.

My first DVD purchase as well, along with Heavy Metal, Fantasia and Spinal Tap, around Christmas 2000.

fight club or boogie nights

Your answer is Fight Club because T2-UE was a flipper

Mine was either The Abyss or Castaway.

I think it was Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, as far as 2-Disc sets go. For just one disc SEs that were still pretty loaded, Ghostbusters.

Silence of the Lambs Criterion? Maybe

Was this two discs? For some reason I remember it being only one.

Probably Glengarry Glen Ross ...

Some were flippers, some were 2 disc. Mine was 2 disc. I think it was the 1st one I got also.

A Bug's Life: CE, late '99.

As best I recall, it was the Lawrence of Arabia "limited edition" with the light colored, fabric-y outer package, which I still own.

T2ue

I'm pretty sure it was The Abyss in early 2000, followed closely by Fight Club, ID4, T2, Se7en and many others. I miss the days of the double wide case. A special edition really felt special back then. A two disc set like that was really awesome. I still think they look more "important" on the shelf. Although not as important as the awesome triple-wide Suspiria Limited! Sure they take up more shelf space, but I still love them.

I still own all of those originals except Fight Club which I just passed on to a buddy after upgrading to the blu. I just upgraded Se7en last week and will be doing the same with that one. Kind of sucks letting those beauties go, but the A/V upgrade is worth it for such favorites, and at least 7 has that beautiful digi-book to soften the blow. I wish FC would have gotten one!

I can't wait until the day I can upgrade The Abyss to blu! I can't believe that to this day a film like that hasn't even gotten an anamorphic release here. Ridiculous.

Fun thread, thanks!

This is tricky, because my earliest 2-disc sets were either TV series ("Kung Fu Master" from Tai Seng) or long Bollywood movies (DEVDAS) that were split up into two discs.

According to my records, the first 2-disc set I bought in which the film was on one disc and the special features were on a second disc was LOVE ETERNE (Hong Kong, 1963), the Shaw Bros. Huangmei opera version of "The Butterfly Lovers" starring Ivy Ling Po and Betty Loh Ti that was part of Celestial's series of remastered R3 Shaw DVD releases. This release came out in 2003.

My first DVD was Pokemon the Movie which I bought at Goodwill for $5.00 way back in 2001 or 2002.

But my first Special Edition DVD was Fantasia Anthology which i bought on release date

Another vote for Fight Club-

Oddly enough I think mine was also Blade 2.
