I'd have Goodfellas and Casino if the DVD transfers weren't so gawd awful and unwatchable. I'm waiting for a rerelease with improved video.

Many of my must haves are here in my collection (and in my wish list):

Some of what I own are duds, but I got most of those used and very cheap at pawn shops and rental stores.

:Q

You have Divine Secrets of the YaYa CrapHood! Have your balls shrank up away?!

No, but my GF's did. ;)

Honestly, she hated that movie too. As soon as space starts getting tight in my changer, it'll be one of the first to go.

i didn't think they were all that bad, they're definitely to good to be unwatchable no matter how poor the transfer. if they do come out with a rerelease with improved video and bonus features, that would be super :)

You have to see them on a 50"+ widescreen HDTV to understand how bad they really look. Goodfellas isn't even anamorphic, if I recall correctly. Casino looks better than Goodfellas, but the quality isn't consistant, and it varies from sharp and clear to overly compressed and soft.

Both were released quite early in the DVD game, before they knew how to do it right.
