Have you ever bought the same movie twice, because a special edition came out?

[ThePresence]

I just bought the new GoodFellas DVD set, even though I have the original DVD.
I also have the orginal versions of all the LOTR movies and then I bought the EE's.

 

[Shawn]

nope

 

[Kelvrick]

Waiting for the LOTR super extended edition gift set.

If the matrix was 10 discs, this could be like 15.

 

[Rob9874]

Rushmore (Criterion), Christmas Story, and soon Christmas Vacation. I hate fullscreen.

 

[anxi80]

yes, ive double dipped a couple times. and damn the studios for making me do it.

a few i double-dipped on:
goodfellas
dogma
the good, the bad, and the ugly
theres some about mary
terminator 2
princess bride
blazing saddles

will be double dipping on: clerks, heat

 

[yankeesfan]

no

 

[XMan]

Sure . . . the first two LOTR films, Tombstone . . . I'm sure there are others but I'm trying to remember.

Director's cuts actually pissed my girlfriend off . . . we watched the first two LOTR films before seeing Return of the King (EEs, of course) and when she found out they were the long versions . . . look out, man.

 

[Albis]

it happens to me every so often.

usually it's b/c i buy fullscreen normal edition and grab the wide screen special edition

 

[SportSC4]

I don't buy any movie if there is a good chance that it will be available with a better edition.
If in doubt, rent.

 

[EvilYoda]

Yeah, all the time. I don't mind double-dipping.

 

[Farbio]

yep, done it a few times
usual suspects
se7en
lotr, both, and soon to be 3rd
and i'm sure i'll be picking up the new clerks as well

 

[tm37]

Dogma
Suicide Kings

 

[DaveSimmons]

Nightmare Before Christmas, one of my all time faves. Elfman + Burton = genius.

I gave the plain version to a friend, so I didn't really mind.

 

[ThePresence]

Watching GoodFellas right now, Henry Hill's commentary is chilling.

 

[bcterps]

I'm considering buying the theatrical versions of LotR, to go along with the extended versions.

 

[Brutuskend]

Sorta.

I own a few movies on both VHS and DVD.

I have also bought a few books only to get them home and find I've already read them.

There's absolutely no need to do that. The EE has everything that's in the theatrical version, plus much more.

 

[Mnementh]

Star Wars Trilogy (FS WS and Special edition)

LOTR original and EE

Many more VHS that I have now bought DVD's as well so lots

 

[Manzelle]

Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Fight Club...

 

[konakona]

As much as i am sick of gainax regurgitating same thing over and over, i would buy eva renewal if i had $$$ :| (code2 of course) its defeinitely worth it : improved constrast ratio / refined drawings / flicker fix alone make it worth 'upgrading', well almost... not at the MSRP of ¥39800 :roll:

 

[DeeKnow]

duh... never

 

[eplebnista]

No.

 

[torpid]

I have to really like the movie a lot. Then I don't mind at all. For example, I own 3 copies of amadeus (vhs, old dvd, new dvd).

 

[MustISO]

Yes. Pulp Fiction and Pulp Fiction collectors edition (still in the shrink wrap).

I usually end up in the store buying the 'special edition' and wondering if there was ever actually a 'not special' edition!

I don't think I'd buy one twice htough, I've never found much use for the special features.
