I got 2 together from my ex-g/f when she bought me a DVD player...

they were Top Gun, Aliens...there might have been a third one, but i forget which ones i bought and which were gifts

funny story at that time...my roommates and our g/f's all opened our presents together, well my g/f gave me 2 or 3 small boxes and a big box under it...i open up the first one and its Top Gun DVD...well my roommate says "but u dont have a DVD player"...I look at him, look at the big box...look at him, look back at the big box...then he was like "oh shit.."

i had only been seeing the girl for like 2.5 months at the time...luckily one of my friends was shopping with her when she got it, which i didnt know, and he kinda made sure i spent a lot of money when i went shopping.

For me, it was City of Angels. Maybe a chick flick, but this was 1998 and I hadn't seen it so I figured I could partly justify the $25 I had to pay for it. It did turn out to work for various dates and paid for itself by saving me movie tix. ;)

Matrix and Star Gate were among the first of the movies I bought as well.
