Which DVD Movies are worth buying?

[xtreme2k]

As title.

 

[brtspears2]

Can never go wrong buying classics, such as Terminator 2.

At least to me that is a classic...

 

[ace31216]

I say Gladiators.

 

[MsPixel]

Pulp Fiction
Almost Famous
TitanAE (Sorry, I still like animated movies)


Do you have a particular genre in mind?

 

[xtreme2k]

I am really thinking of getting Gladiators. But it only has the special 2 DVD deluxe version which cost more than the normal version. Up to now, I only have 3 DVD. Matrix, Blade and Autumn in NY.

Planning to get some more. I dont care about which 'catagory'. All I want are some good movies

 

[Mrburns2007]

Fifth Element
Matrix
T2
Dark City

 

[NakaNaka]

Usual Suspects
Field of Dreams
Mission Impossible (not the crappy sequel)
Hackers

 

[arod]

Heres a few

Gladiator
Matrix
Titan AE (got some sweet cgi shots)
Twister
The PAtriot
Saving Private Ryan
u571
Jurassic Park

Mallrats Special Edition


This DVD is packed with extra stuff including one of the best commentaries I have ever heard.

 

[cherrytwist]

A few of my favorite DVDs:

Se7en
Fight Club
Requiem For A Dream
Office Space
Traffic
The Insider
Buffalo '66

 

[xtreme2k]

A in NY...

yes GF gave me.

 

[Mungla]

Get the Fifth Element! It has the best video quality of any DVD that I have ever seen. Blade comes next, that movie is awesome too.

 

[Mikal]

Fight Club!

 

[Aves]

Terminator 2: Ultimate Edition
Se7en: Platinum Edition
Toy Stoy: The Ultimate Toy Box
Saving Private Ryan
Fight Club
Armageddon: Criterion Collection (Non-Anamorphic Though! :| )
Heat
Gladiator

These are just a few.

Get these this fall.
Star Wars: Episode 1
The Simpsons: Season One

 

[speed24get]

any of the james bond series.

 

[AaronP]

Fifth Element is a crummy dvd, it has hardly any special features maybe a trailer and thats all.

 

[yellowperil]

T2: UE
Matrix
Usual Suspects (great director/writer commentary)
Gladiator

IMO the best picture quality I have seen is the Toy Story 1 and 2 series. Even watching up close on a monitor, I could not find any artifacts/graininess (due to the whole process being digital).

 

[webnewland]

definitely gladiator and the matrix, and maybe saving private ryan

 

[ZipMach]

Taboo
Debbie Does Dallas

hehe..

 

[Noriaki]

I own

Romeo Must Die
Blade
Hackers
Fifth Element Matrix
Star Trek: First Contact
Star Trek: Insurection
Lodoss Wars
Gladiator
Replacement Killers
US Marshals
Usual Suspects
Men in Black
Mission Impossible 2
Gone in 60 Seconds

US Marshals was part of a deal so I bought it but it's pretty good (3 DVDs for the price of 2), Gone in 60 was a cruel joke of a gift (a friend gave it to me and told me there was nice GT500 in it and laughed his royal ass off at the look on my face when it got totalled), Insurrection isn't really that good....the rest I think were worth it.

I also want Snatch (out in a couple weeks), Resivoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Terminator 2. But I haven't found them at a good price yet.

Here is my (small) collection. Take your pick

 

[tigerbait]

If you want a great reference DVD to show off your system, you must get Super Speedway. It was filmed for IMAX (70mm ?) so the picture quality is outstanding and the DD 5.1 soundtrack is incredible. You will not be disappointed.

 

[N8Magic]

The DVD's I would recommend:

The Matrix
Braveheart
Saving Private Ryan

... and ... Ronin. That movie has the BEST car chase scenes of any movie I have ever seen. The quality of the DVD is also very very good.

<< If you want a great reference DVD to show off your system, you must get Super Speedway. It was filmed for IMAX (70mm ?) so the picture quality is outstanding and the DD 5.1 soundtrack is incredible. You will not be disappointed. >>

IMAX is not standard 70mm.

<< The IMAX image is ten times larger than a conventional 35mm frame and three times bigger than a standard 70mm frame. The sheer size of an IMAX film frame, combined with the unique IMAX projection technology, is the key to the extraordinary sharpness and clarity of an IMAX film. >>

Quoted from 1570 Films click on about IMAX at the top of the page.

DVDs I recommend are:

The Fifth Element (Sorry AaronP but a good DVD is based on a good movie not extra crap thrown in.)
Pi
Alien box set
Pink Floyd's The Wall
The Replacement killers
Ronin
Leon: The Professional (the uncut version of The Professional. The extra footage improves an already great movie.)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Magnificent Seven
Amadeus
Singin in the Rain
Blade Runner
Titan AE
She's All That (I watch it too much to get it on tape. Yes I know it is cheesey.)
The Road Warrior
