| | Posted: | | | | I saw this subject posted on another site and thought it would be interesting to see what everyones favorite dvds are.
For me:
1) Freaks and Geeks Yearbook edition. One of my favorite shows and the yearbook & extras are fantastic.
2) Casablanca Special Edition. My favorite movie and it looks great.
3) Almost Famous: Bootleg Edition
4) The Marx Brothers: The Silver Screen Edition. Some of these movies were at the very top of my want list when I first bought my dvd player. After 4 or 5 years they were finally released.
5) The Frighteners: 4 Disc Special Edition (region 2)
6) The Exorcist: 25th Anniversy Edition
7) Fanny & Alexander Box Set (Criterion)
8) Dawn of the Dead: Ultimate Edition
9) Brotherhood of the Wolf. 3 disc Canadian Edition.
10) The Adventures of Brisco County Junior. Another favorite tv show
There's probably 1 or 2 dvds that I'm not thinking of but this would be pretty accurate for me.
What are yours? |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm gonna have a hard time selecting only 10 but here goes, in no particular order. 1) Planet of the Apes: Ultimate Collection: Ape Head Packaging - I just love that head on my top shelf!  2) Evil Dead I & II: Book of the Dead Editions - I love these 2 movies, and the packaging makes it awesome 3) Wolf's Rain: Limited Complete Collection - Although I've still not seen the series yet, I like the shape of the box 4) All my Star Trek (especially the later ones, with special packaging) - I don't need to explain that one  5) Wizard of Oz: Three Disc Collector's Edition - There's so much material in there, and I love the reproduction of the promotional stuff 6) Any of the Disney Giftsets (Lion King, Cinderella, etc.) - Again, great restoration on the movies, and the extras are great. Love the drawings they included in them. 7) E.T.: Ultimate Giftset - Great package, 2 versions of the movie, the soundtrack, a book.. what more can you ask for? 8) Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complete S1 & S2 - I love the fact that they are in metal cases, but for the individual volumes and the box itself. I've yet to watch the series though. 9) Schindler's List: Collector's Gift Set - Awesome movie in an awesome plexiglass packaging. 10) Universal's Legacy Collection (Monster movies) - True classics in a nice packaging. The three Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolfman busts are a nice touch too. And there's so many more... The Lord of the Rings extended edition giftsets, Forbidden Planet Ultimate Collector's tin, Criterion's Seven Samurai, Band of Brothers tin, James Bond Ultimate collection, Alien Quadrilogy, West Side Story, Les Triplettes de Belleville, Star Wars Trilogy, Matrix Ultimate Collection, Disney Treasures collection, Nightmare of Elm Street collection, etc. | | | | Last edited: by RossRoy |

Don't understand.., Bootleg verison? I see one and two disc versions on the internet for sale.. It's the director's cut of Almost Famous. It was monickered the "bootleg edition" I'm assuming to tie in with the rock band theme. |

| | Posted: | | | | Only 10??! Yeesh... Ok, here goes, in no particular order... 1. The Great Escape 2. The Shawshank Redemption 3. Saving Private Ryan 4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off 5. We We're Soldiers 6. Forrest Gump 7. Big Trouble In Little China 8. Ghost Ship 9. Steel Magnolias 10. Full Metal Jacket Based strictly on the movies themselves.
