What's currently the most prized item in your DVD collection and why?

[Tazz]

What do you currently reckon is the most prized item in your DVD
collection (which doesn't have to be a DVD title, but probably is)
and please say why?

[OG-]

The Criterion Collection of Silence of the Lambs seeing as it is in mint condition and no longer available.

[Yoda]

It's a tie between my two LOTR Extended Editions. Soon to be joined by a third. They did a helluva job on them.

[The Taxi Driver]

i like my special edition Pulp Fiction. because its my favorite movie and its well put together and has alot of special features

[Tazz]

i like my special edition Pulp Fiction. because its my favorite movie and its well put together and has alot of special features

it's Collector's Edition Actually.

[Heartagram]

its a toss up between my Evil Dead: Book of the Dead or Brazil: Criterion Collection.

[The Taxi Driver]

it's Collector's Edition Actually.

oh ok i like my collector's edition of pulp fiction

[zBLARz]

My Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings special edition. As Yoda said, they put lots of work into it.

[nebbit]

All my Marilyn Munroe movies, I just love her.

http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2004/677/liv02.jpg

[Dazed&Confused]

The Godfather Box set or The Book of the Dead

[Tazz]

i would say my Stanley Kubrick Collection if i had one :D

[AboveTheClouds]

I am going to say my Stanley Kubrick collection... even though it IS missing The Killing, Killers Kiss and Paths of Glory.... But I own all those anyway :) and it's all because Warners couldn't get rights to them......

[SamsoniteDelilah]

http://www.mediacircus.net/godfather___1.jpg
I just watched it and fell in love with it again
It's pure awesomeness in filmmaking
The acting (except poor S.C.) is amazing
The bonus materials were spiffy
The story is perfect

[Garrett]

it's Collector's Edition Actually.

Is there really a difference?

As for me:
http://red-colored.org/lazysod/3314156.jpg
Not much for special features but nothing beats having the entire collection at my fingertips.

[AboveTheClouds]

I WANT. How much did you pay Garrett?

[Tazz]

Is there really a difference?

i was guessing you were going say monty.

you get Scorsese?

[Tazz]

I WANT. How much did you pay Garrett?

a bundle of cash, just like that Stanley Kubrick Collection you have! How much you get yours for?

[AboveTheClouds]

I got a deal since I work in a video store I payed $85(Cdn)

[Garrett]

I WANT. How much did you pay Garrett?
It was a gift but I imagine the retail price is something outrageous. I damn near fell out of my chair when I opened it and realized what it was.
You can look it up on Amazon probably.

Zzat: Nope, I still haven't got it, I went looking for it 1 or 2 weeks ago and nowhere had it. A local Wal-Mart said they were expecting to get it soon, so I've been putting off getting online (I hate the anticipation ;) )

[Moviez&Dvdz4life]

the most prized item in my dvd collection is Pirates of the Caribbean 2-disc collectors edition with the case.
I know its sounds corny, but i have a limited dvd collection, so oh well!

Later

[sisboombah]

mine would be my limited edition dogville box set. a, because it is dogville and has nicole in. b, because its really cool and has postcards and film cells in it. c, because it cost me $100 dollars which means its the most expensive dvd purchase i have made ever on one dvd.

[projectMayhem]

Mine's a three way tie between the Casablanca 2 disc set, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 2 disc set, and the Indiana Jones Trilogy.

[Tazz]

i never said mine so mine would probably be either the Godfather DVD Collection or Martin Scorsese Collection, but i payed more for the Scorsese.

[Agent 0 Zero]

My most prized dvd's have to have the actors that my friends and I like. Our fav's are Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Denis Leary, and Kiefer !!! :p
http://www.kuhse.com/Actors/gene_wilder.jpg

[AboveTheClouds]

Soon enough I shall own the clerks 10th anniversary DVD edition. That will be my second most prized DVD.

[Agent 0 Zero]

Soon enough I shall own the clerks 10th anniversary DVD edition. That will be my second most prized DVD.

I loved clerks. When does it come out? :eek:

[Urban Cowboy]

I'd have to say my 10th Aniversary Edition of Reservoir Dogs. I managed to get all five limited edition covers, and it has some fantastic extras. I think the Film Noir piece is one of the most imformative things I've seen in a long time, and the revisiting of the Sundance Festival was also great.

[Monkeypunch]

yeah, The CLerks tenth anniversary DVD is my new god. lol. I love all the extras and the new cartoon sequence is disturbingly funny. 3 disks of Kevin Smith goodness for 24 bucks? yeah, its incredible.

[Tazz]

[thankyoucomeagain]

[totalacid1]

but as far as to say if i lost my collection of dvds the things id miss the most is my red dwarf series i love red dwarf dave lister is my idol

SMEGHEAD
:devil:

[projectMayhem]

yeah, The CLerks tenth anniversary DVD is my new god. lol. I love all the extras and the new cartoon sequence is disturbingly funny. 3 disks of Kevin Smith goodness for 24 bucks? yeah, its incredible.
Have you seen An Evening With Kevin Smith I watched it a couple weeks ago and the amount of Kevin Smith universe material included is mind boggling. He has a ***** load of weird stories.

[Urban Cowboy]

is it 5 of the same dvds just different covers?
No I just own 1 copy of the DVD. I just got my friends to give me their covers. But, all the viewing material is the same.

[Miles]

yeah, The CLerks tenth anniversary DVD is my new god. lol. I love all the extras and the new cartoon sequence is disturbingly funny. 3 disks of Kevin Smith goodness for 24 bucks? yeah, its incredible. i got it for 20 at best buy! i was like wtf, and grabbed one right away. 3 disks for 20 bucks was like the best deal i've gotten. and maybe the evil dead book of the dead i got for 20 bucks too.

[gummo]

My most prized DVD is my Trailerpark Boys season 1 & 2 and season 3. If any Canadians out there has not seen this show, watch it. This is the funniest show i have ever seen in my life. Some Americans may have seen it, I heard it was supposed to come to a comedy channel or something, only it beeps out the swearing. But thats American television for ya. The bloopers at the end of the dvds are hilarious. Watch this show!!!!

[AboveTheClouds]

If you're Canadian and haven't heard of this show... you're either deaf or stupid.. Trailer Park Boys owns faces......

[neicy]

The Lord of the Rings......Because when you've read the books and you get up close
and personal with Mr.Tolken, You can't help but watch each movie one after the
other It really is a great relaxing feeling for me and a whole lot of fun.

[neicy]

hey niecy again. Has anyone seen or heard of that pirate movie its a classic.

YELLOWBEARD! I don't know who's in it . Just caught a little bit on vhf one night

[nebbit]

YELLOWBEARD! I don't know who's in it . Just caught a little bit on vhf one night

This is what I think of YELLOWBEARD, :down:

[Ash_Lee]

I suppose my Two Towers Extended Edition DVD is the one I cherish most, followed by Pirates of the Caribbean.

[Jacob_S]

my would be my extended edetion of all 3 LOTR box sets there all joined and limited edition

[Reservoir_Dog]

My copy of Once Upon A Time In The West, because I love Spaghetti Westerns and the DVD package is so well put together, it fits in nicely next to my other Westerns.

Also my Discontinued edition of Fight Club or my Discontinued edition of Reservoir Dogs.

[iluv2viddyfilms]

Red River and Taxi Driver because they're my two favorite movies.




But I know, I know you wanted it based on features/look/menu's ect,



http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000087EYE.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg


Hmm probably Criterion edition of Straw Dogs, which is out of print now. It has a great commentary which takes one point of view on the film and runs with it. I also believe its what Peckinpah had in mind to when he made the film, message wise. Goes against what Pauleine Kael said in her imfamous review. Speaking of Kael there's a lot of stuff about how Peckinpah fired back at her including text of a couple of letters. Also there's a couple of 20 minute or so interviews with Susan George and Dustin Hoffman. Susan George was told she got the role in a very interesting method.

But the highlight of the disc besides the movie and the excellent transfer is the documentary Sam Peckinpah: Man of Iron. It has interviews with actors who worked with him and focuses a lot on his rebelous side or the side that earned him the nickname "Bloody Sam"

Great movie and a great DVD and since it's out of print, I hate to part ways with it. Also it's the only movie I paid the full Criterion price of $40 for. I saw it was going out of print and that they were going to release another edition of the film which was more bare bones in features, ect. (the one that is out today) so I had to grab it.

[undead_bunny]

My Kill Bill DVDs, no one shall touch them! No one! :p

[Charismasloverno5]

You can have your Kill Bill DVD's, I'm sure no one will want them, lol, im jokin, i would say the most valued DVD in my collection will probably be Futurama Seasons 1-4.

[James_Sparrow]

I think I cherish all of my dvd's because I'm not one for picking favorites but if I had to, It's would be a three way tie.

1. My Tim Burton Collection
2. The Ed Wood Box Set
3. The Extended Editions of Lord Of The Rings (With The Figurines)

[Charismasloverno5]

I wouldn't really say that LOTR comes with figurines, I would say they are statues.
However.......can't wait for ROTK to come out on DVD.

[scissorhands85]

Well I don't have any DVDs thanks to some thiefs at my apartment complex, but I recently bought Ed Wood on VHS for a 1.99. Considering that is the only thing in my movie collection period, it is my most prized.

My roomated bought a used Van Wilder DVD but it is not mine and nor do I want to claim it as my most prized (even though it does shell out a few good laughs).

In my stolen collection though I might go with What's Eating Gilbert Grape or The Back to the Future Trilogy, dang that was some good stuff.

[Charismasloverno5]

but will you ever recover from the loss of all your DVD's, i all my DVD's were stolen, I would just give up and cry. lol

[scissorhands85]

I cried for about four hours. I cried for the loss of my treasures, it took me a good while to hunt down some of those DVDs. I also cried for the loss of my PS2 which was used as my DVD player. Being a poor college student I haven't the money to buy any DVDs yet or start replacing them, heres to hoping for a good christmas!!! haha

[Charismasloverno5]

heres to hoping for a good christmas!!! haha

yes, we all have christmasses as well

[Sedai]

A few items in my collection fit the bill:

The top item is still-

Unbreakable, with it's slick case design, Alex Ross sketches of Mr. Glass and Sentryman, all wrapped around an incredible film...

Some others:

The LotR Extended Editions - These things are ridiculous, with enough content to keep even the most die-hard fan busy for quite some time...

Pulp Fiction (Collector's Edition) - Another top notch case wrapped around stellar content...

Lawrence of Arabia - The suber-bit, color corrected version of this seminal film is clearly, something to write home about.

Honorable mention:

Blade Runner - I have to mention it because it is THE BEST MOVIE EVER!! The DVD is so-so, and I would LOVE to see a special edition hit the streets.

[Charismasloverno5]

come to think of it, my indiana jones trilogy is one of my precious DVD's

[spudracer]

I agree with Sedai on Unbreakable, it's a great collector's item.

I'd have to say that since being over in Japan, I'm afraid to buy any DVD set of value, because I'm not able to guarentee that it would make it back to the states in one piece.

A couple I have back home are:

Fight Club - Soap box

Se7en - Limited box

E.T. - Limited Release

These are all simply because you can't find them like this anymore. While they were on shelves for quite some time, the simple fact that you'll have to dig hard to find them now, is a good enough reason to cherish them.

[The Sarge]

My MST3K dvd's..... quite expensive, nobody borrows them, nobody fiddles with them, in fact, don't even look at them!!!!!!

[scissorhands85]

Charisma, does it matter if everyone celebrates christmas? NO. did I make an assumption that everyone here does? NO. I was talking about me, so get over it and don't take everything everyone says as if it directly relates to you because it doesn't.

[jrs]

My most prized DVD possesion? Boy there are so many. Well, on the top of the list I suppose would HAVE to be without a doubt ..............

I have alot of prized possessions, LOTR Extended Editions, Buffy season 1 -7, Angel Season 1 -4, Smallville Season 1-3, X Files season 1-4, Firefly, Indiana jones Boxset, Alien Quadrilogy and my Terminator 2 black tin case, special edition

[LillyVon]

Is there really a difference?

As for me:

Damn, that's not available yet in Australia or that would be mine!!!!

[LillyVon]

My MST3K dvd's..... quite expensive, nobody borrows them, nobody fiddles with them, in fact, don't even look at them!!!!!!

Here here!! I'm ordering mine off Amazon cause they don't sell them in Australia and I refuse to loan them out, even though I want people to watch them! Girl in Golden Boots still a mega stand out!

Alien Quadrilogy still a big standout for quality of making of's, interviews etc. 40 Hours of special features plus BOTH versions of the movies is pretty bloody good. Also I work at Fox so get paid for saying all that!!! ;) ;)

[LillyVon]

You should work for Fox!!! :p :p

[cflores210]

HEY WHAT'S UP!
One of my prized DVD is actually a DVD I recently bought. Rubi, a spanish soap opera that became very popular here in the united States. If your up for anything you should pick up a copy and let me know what you thought.

[hayward]

my most prized possesion is Dawn of the Dead: Ultimate Edition

http://www1.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2.php?product_code=12403

[Tacitus]

Blade Runner - I have to mention it because it is THE BEST MOVIE EVER!! The DVD is so-so, and I would LOVE to see a special edition hit the streets.

I feel your pain...

I look at my Blade Runner disc and, even though it's one that I couldn't bear to part with, can't help thinking how shoddily this great movie's been treated.

[Sedai]

I feel your pain...

If I am not mistaken, Blade Runner and Twister were two of the first DVDs to be released in the states. My copy of BR doesn't even have a real DVD menu to speak of. When you punch up "menu", a WB logo appears with a link to the chapter list, and that's it. Zero special features. Must have been a test run for WB....


Want to add a couple to my list:

Raging Bull : Special Edition
Star Wars : OT
Martin Scorsese Box Set

[Tacitus]

I've just popped mine (R2) into the player, and it's exactly the same.

Shoddy...

[The Taxi Driver]

im gonna add more

just wish it had a commentary

http://www.aow13.com/pics02/halloween25th.jpg

[Dr West]

That's either:
My James Bond collection - Because I'm a james bond fan.
or
Resident Evil:Apocalypse - It's the only film I have with Sienna Guillory in it, so far.............

[Darth Stujitzu]

It's probably the three WB special edition boxsets that I have. The coolest thing is that there is a single 35mm frame from each of the movies, amongst other things, like screenplays, picture cards, posters etc.
So far I own;
Bullit.
Casablanca, and
The Matrix.
These are cool collectors items, and I got them reduced cause the DVD shop was closing down. Everyone loves a bargain.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

The Godfather collection: 1,2,3 and a bonus.
Withnail and I
The Passion of Joan of Arc

[Tacitus]

Withnail and I


Cinders, if I may pick your brains for a minute? :)

Does your copy of Withnail & I feature some very obvious and badly integrated ADR (mainly from McGann's character's voiceover)?

As soon as I upgraded my VHS copy to the R2 SE release I noticed (and cursed giving my old video to the charity shop). :(

There's a 2 page thread about this on the Withnail forum (here (http://www.withnail.biz/)) if you don't know what I'm on about, but they seem to be talking only about the R2 release...

[SamsoniteDelilah]

You can pick my brains if you can find 'em, D. ;)
Sadly, my copy is the pre-Criterion with no extras. The sound throughout could be better. I don't know what ADR is, and your link goes to the main page of the forum where no mention of ADR jumped out at me. McGann's vo's during the early cafe scene and later when he's in the bathtub are pretty hackneyd. Is that what you mean?

[Tacitus]

ADR means Additional Dialogue Recording - ie redubbing. The two scenes you mention are two that were redubbed so you're on the right track even if you didn't know it (sounds like the way I figure out most things...).

That forum's weird. Every page you click has the same address. If you can't stand pages of nutters shouting "Monty you terrible ****!" at each other, I'll spare you the bother. :)

It appears you are refering to the original theatrical release...these are the changes made to the original and subsequently released on VHS and DVD:-

Marwoods opening voice-over has been redubbed.
Marwoods speach about his thumbs having gone weird has been cut. The scene thus goes from the line "I don`t feel good" to "Look at my tongue".
Withnails "I'm gonna pull your head off" has been cut.
Dannys anecdote about The Coalman has been cut.
Some dialogue concerning Withnails current work and Marwood also being a thespian has been cut out of the scene at Montys home.
The scene of Marwood slipping in the mud and then angrily persuading Withnail to have another look at the shed has been cut.
The first part of Withnail and Marwoods conversation with the major, concerning Withnail having been in the Territorials, has been cut. The scene in this version simply dissolves from Withnail and Marwood walking to the pub with Marwoods voice-over to the major bringing up the subject of Jake. Marwoods line about why Withnail lied to the major has understandably also been cut.
The word Saveloy has been redubbed to Sausage.

It's been butchered...

[Pyro Tramp]

Strangely it's my Infernal Affairs Collectors Box Set, which i imported from Hong Kong, it only cost about 50p and i got Ashes of Time with it free. ****ing awesomest deal ever. DVDs are all good quality and legit, they come in a fancy case and there's a bonus disc of extras, and it only cost 50p!!!

[The_Butcher]

I have this Lord of the Rings the two towers thats different from the others because I owned it before it was even released to the public. I got connections like that.:cool:

[Cassidy Bogart]

My Uncut International Version 2-Disc Set of Trainspotting
I paid full price for it, but it was well worth it.

[The Sarge]

Kung Fu Hustle. Picked it up on www.cdwow.co.uk (http://www.cdwow.co.uk) about 7months ago for £9.99 and must have watched it 5 or 6 times now.

(and before anyone asks, No, it's not a bootleg copy)

[Misirlou]

City Of God. I had to pay twenty bucks for it even though it was only a one disc set, but it was worth it.

[Ash_Lee]

My Lord of the Rings boxset of Extended Editions. I've had it since Christmas and there still aren't any scuffs on the packaging :D

[Sedai]

Adding another....

A Very Long Engagement (Jeunet, 2004)

STELLAR transfer, and quite possibly the best "Making Of" I have ever seen. It's almost as long as the film itself, and it has so much great inside information about so many of the scenes in the film. Add to this a great documentary about Paris in the 20s, as well as a doc about the zeppelin explosion, and we have a real gem. I also love the menu design. For any Jeunet fan, this disc is a must have...

[susan]

all three versions of brazil....

[Misirlou]

all three versions of brazil....What is brazil?

[Strummer521]

Stick around...you'll find out ;)

Finally rented Amélie the other day, and went straight to Best Buy late this afternoon and added it to my collection. :cool:

[LordSlaytan]

Finally rented Amélie the other day, and went straight to Best Buy late this afternoon and added it to my collection. :cool:You hadn't seen it yet? I'm amazed.

I'm glad you liked it, though. Have you seen any other Jeunet films?

[Strummer521]

I still need to see it too.

[jrs]

You hadn't seen it yet? I'm amazed.

I'm glad you liked it, though. Have you seen any other Jeunet films?


Saw Delicatessan which I give 4_5 and Alien 4, though I do wanna see A Very Long Engagement. :D

[Strummer521]

though I do wanna see A Very Long Engagement. :D

Do not hesitate. I just saw it and I seriously think it's flawless.

[LordSlaytan]

Saw Delicatessan which I give 4_5 and Alien 4, though I do wanna see A Very Long Engagement. :DPlease don't lump Alien: Resurrection along with Jeunet's other films. It was written by a guy who mainly wrote for television. He had no clue how to write that film adequately, let alone well. Hell, he’s writing the new Wonder Woman movie, that ought to tell ya’ something. It's certainly not a real Jeunet film like Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children, Amélie, and A Very Long Engagement.

...and what are you waiting for with A Very Long Engagement? Get off your ass, jerz! ;)

[Ezikiel]

I love Amélie and A Very Long Engangement, but Delicatessen was a huge disspointment given that it was Jeunet. The film is just far too odd and seems like the story is forced with visuals overlacking a not very good story alltogether. But, those are just my thoughts on it, I'd grade it a C+ for some funny situations, but I think it failed at what it was trying to do.

[Thursday Next]

I think you are being a bit harsh on Whedon. It wasn't really that he had no clue how to write the film adequately, more that there was a clash of vision and what he wrote ended up getting changed so that some of it didn't make sense, what you got in the end was kind of a mash of his original story and Jeunet's ideas which didn't really work.

[Pyro Tramp]

Can anyone help me find a decent copy of City of Lost Children? I've wanted it for a while now and keep finding english dubbed copies, plus it's deleted in region 2.

[SpaztheGeek]

Hard to choose.
(OP means out of print, or so i believe)
-I have a signed Book Of The Dead (signed by Bruce Campbell)
-OP Memento CE
-OP Abyss CE
-OP Fight Club CE
-Criterion Collection Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Videodrome, or Life Aquatic.

Thats all I can think of right now, its hard to decide.

[SpaztheGeek]

Other than that, I am more proud of my complete, or almost complete collections, which include:

Tarantino (All Collector's Edition)
Fincher (All Collector's Edition, except Panic Room, but maybe panic room ce soon)
The Living Dead Trilogy
Alien Quadrilogy+AVP+Predator 1 CE/Predator 2 SE
Rodriguez collection-spy kids trilogy and the Faculty
All LOTR Box Sets
Amityville Horror Collection
Several John Carpenter movies
Back To The Future Trilogies
American Pie Trilogy
etc....

[Misirlou]

Rodriguez collection-spy kids trilogy and the Faculty
Does your Rodriguez collection include El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon A Time in Mexico? How about From Dusk Till Dawn? It's not even a Robert Rodriguez collection without those!

[Clark Nova]

Hmm, I think I would say my Leone "Dollars" trilogy. All special editions with fold-out digipack packaging:

http://www.virginmegastores.co.uk/content/ebiz/virgin/invt/626567/626567_m.jpg http://www.virginmegastores.co.uk/content/ebiz/virgin/invt/626566/626566_m.jpg http://www.virginmegastores.co.uk/content/ebiz/virgin/invt/561109/561109_m.jpg

Picture and sound are excellent, plus they all have lots of extras and just look great up there on my shelf.

The guy? Lol, you mean Joss Whedon? I think Joss is a fantastic writer, and I love his shows. I am in the camp that it was a clash of vision, because Joss can definitely write. Still, I wonder why they chose him for the project, as the Alien mythos aren't anywhere near his style. I will agree that he was probably a bit overwhelmed and out of his element, but his writing skills are damn good and he has a massive cult fanbase. Actually, he penned 12 issues of Astonishing X-men somewhat recently that I thought were just great. He seems to be dabbling in various mediums, and he has a new Sci-Fi film coming out based on the little known but wonderful Firefly series....

[Pyro Tramp]

I enjoy Alien: Res, what's everyone's beef?

[mr-tony-montana]

most prized is prob band of brothers tin box set or scarface R1 box that comes with the money clip,movie cards and the original movie. im still hunting high n low for battle royale steel tin edition though!

My Pink Floyd The Wall DVD. I bought it right when it came out. It was the first DVD I ever purchased. I bought my first DVD player about 3 years later. I love the movie and I love Pink Floyd. Whenever I wanted to watch it, I had to go to someone elses house.

http://www.dailyllama.com/news/2003/images/fear_loathing_criterion_dvd.jpg

[James_Sparrow]

This is one hell of a hard question. I'm not to sure actually. I'll report back with an answer though!

[-Danny]

Meh. All of my films are prized to me. Pulp Fiction may be the most prized. I enjoy the film, the packaging, and the extras. It's a great DVD. Second one is probably American Beauty.

[Jill]

My SAW DVD's

[Southern Belle]

It is nothing special i guess but it would have to be The Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl The Lost Disc.

[Sedai]

I enjoy Alien: Res, what's everyone's beef?

Wow, another person that likes it. I am stunned. I thought I was the only one....

[thehulkzinger]

It would have to be the Godfather Collection, its my favorite.

[tberg]

Has to be my Region 4 copy of Abel Gance's "Napoleon". I would have much more preferred the BFI version over the Coppola version but at least it is something of the film.

[7thson]

Wow, another person that likes it. I am stunned. I thought I was the only one....

Make that 3...very nice IMO.

[ibeatitup1]

all the terminator movies love them

[Britbrat19]

it would be all my extended versions of the lord of the rings trilogy

[diamondgeeza]

It's gotta be my expanding collection of Stephen King film's, I had all of them on video and it's proving to be a real pain to rebuild the collection on DVD!!

[YouLuckyBastard]

In second place would be Lord of the Rings: Extended Edition as a whole set. I like that the cover desing look like antiquated books. I'm still planning to watch all six discs back-to-back, but I can only get through tyhe first half hour and I begin to think of other things I could do in those 9+ hours.

In first place would have to Evil Dead: Book of the Dead. The amount of love and attention that went into designing the case deserves praise. If you watch the film you'll notice that the DVD case is an exact replica of the Book of the Dead in the film, even down to the archaic scribblings on the pages. This DVD is so precious to me it is the only one I WILL NOT let my friends go near. Films not bad either.

If the question refers to what is my best film in my collection then I can't choose. I only buy films I consider great;)

[Othelo]

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0783225903.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Took me a long time to find this baby, but it was well worth it :D

I have that as a Criterion DVD 3 discs, the TV edit, a few Docs and the whole shebangabang cost me less than 20 smackers. Do the Right Thing Crit Co is another good one.

Also in Criterion and OOP I have Silence of the Lambs and Robocop. The OOP original release of Re-Animator (though the newer one is 5.1 remastered) The Anchor Bay tin box of The Beyond.

Former Video Store geek at your service....

[Othelo]

Wow, another person that likes it. I am stunned. I thought I was the only one....

I love all the Alien movies including cubed. I love the way the franchise keeps re-inventing itself in tone. Great directors don't hurt either...

[Black_Pylon]

Mine would be Two Lane Blacktop. I hadn't seen it, knew that I would & the only version I could find was in a collector's tin with a little keychain car too. Like the movie muchly, so money well spent. Most expensive DVD I have bought too.

[Freddy Fan#1]

Mine is Freddy Vs Jason.
Why? Because I love this movie and I couldent live without it!!

[Naisy]

At the moment my most prized DVD is disc 3 of the boxed set of Season 2: House M.D. , but I also have to say Jackie Chan: Rumble In The Bronx will always be close to my heart :D Still love that crazy Mofo! :yup:

[zpaulg]

The discs!!!

Why? Because I'd get bored just watching the cases!!!

[Poultry_man]

my 10th anniversary special edition tin cover pulp fiction DVD. it was only 15 bucks!

[Movie_watcher_18]

mu favorite movie i have..... i dont have 1.......hahaha

but i do like my HP, X-Men, POTC, Spiderman movies the most

[B-card]

High Fidelity because it took me an hour to dig it from a pile of other DVD's it was so messy
The Thing too because it's a collectors edition and it wasn't easy to find, in Bulgaria there aren't many special edition DVD's
And Fight Club because it's Fight Club

[JBriscoe]

all of my OOP horror flicks...and my criterion's

[bleacheddecay]

A few Christmases ago, my BIL bought me something off of my list! Jesus Christ Superstar 2000! It is my fav movie of all time because it is art that makes chills run up my back from start to finish.

In any area of production the art is evident. The lighting, costumes, acting, filming techniques and singing are all fantastic. This is one of the few movies I would watch over and over.

[TheGirlWhoHadAllTheLuck_]

Another country, because I love it
Duran duran Greatest, because I love them :)

[Used Future]

'Dawn of the Dead' (original) Dutch import, includes Romero's version (completely uncut) & Dario Argento's, plus 'Document of the Dead'.

'Yojimbo' & 'Sanjuro' - US import, loads of extras, and the box art is really nice.

'Lone Wolf & Cub' box set, containing all six films.

'From Beyond' - US import, completely uncut.

'Three Colours Blue/White/Red' trilogy - because there are all masterpieces.

'Cinema Paradiso' - same reason as above.

all my box sets including: -

Trilogies

'Star Wars'
'Die Hard' (who needs number 4)
'El Mariachi'
'Blade'
'Evil Dead'
'Back to the Future'
'Indiana Jones'
'Final Destination' (and yes I think they're all great)
Leone's 'Dollars' films

TV

complete 'Red Dwarf'
'Spaced' 1&2
'Peep Show' 1-5

and loads more.

[Sedai]

Of course, my most prized possession just has to be:

http://www.acquiremag.com/2007/07/26/bladerunner5discultimatedvd.jpg

Nothing in my collection comes close to this gem. As to why, and I don't think I need to explain to you folks, is that this is one of my favorite films of all time, which I have seen well over 100 times and counting.

I keep it on my coffee table.

Coming in at a VERY close 2nd, would be my collection of BSG seasons and extras. I hold this show in almost as high regard as I do Blade Runner; I have watched the entire series 4 times and counting.

[Iroquois]

^ I still need to get one of those. Damn.

Anyway, if I have to prize any item, it's going to be one of my imported DVDs (or rather, DVDs I picked up outside of Australia). Out of all the import DVDs I own, the one I prize the most is going to be Slacker. It's the first Criterion Collection DVD I ever bought and is currently one of the two that I own (the other being Dazed and Confused). It even marks a personal accomplishment - the first DVD I ever bought during my trip to America last December (as I recall, within the first 24 hours there too). Also, since Slacker has never been released in Australia, this makes me one of the few people (if not the only one) to own and have seen Slacker in this country.

Not to mention the fact that it's a pretty decent movie, too.

http://www.sfgate.com/blogs/images/sfgate/techchron/2006/04/06/dvds14_slacker.JPG

[These Filthy Hands]

I'd say my whole collection. There's nothing special in it, but they're mine. I'm going to exclude The Ice Harvest though.

[n3wt]

I agree my whole collection means so much to me but I think my prized possesion must be my Rambo Collection DVD boxset. Possibly all my Scrubs series DVDs or my American Dad - Family Guy series DVDs.

[movie_fan87]

My Alien Vs Predator box set. All the movies bar Requiem but that wasn't good anyways.

[n3wt]

I have to say that my Blackadder Adder collection boxset is one of my favs, But my little sister in law managed to ruin 3 out of the 4 disks so I need to replase it. Which is always nice to do when you paid £60 for it in the first place.

[The Reservoir Dog]

"Children of Men"
The first 5 seasons of "The West Wing"

[Sawman3]

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/MG/170578~The-Omega-Man-Posters.jpg

Not my fav. movie of all time, but one of them. Amazing film, and for some reason it just feels really, really good to have it on DVD. I didn't really see it in stores that often either until after I Am Legend came out.

[MovieMan8877445]

Mine Has The Be My 2-Disc Of Se7en.

[Earl Gray]

Have loads of fave's that's why I have so many films but I love to waste a few late night hours watching Universal monsters such Dracula, Wolfman and gang but if you want something with colour the Alien films and Nightmare on Elm Street .

[n3wt]

Its got to be my Terminator 2 specail edition. Love this film and I can watch it over and over again.

[TheGirlWhoHadAllTheLuck_]

Another Country- practically all-male cast- need i say more! ;)

[Dill-man]

My Seven Samurai (Criterion Collection)


Beautiful restoration, packaging, and features!
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m28/missmovie/7samurai2.jpg

[honeykid]

For U'R Height Only/Challenge Of The Tiger.

It's not a special edition or anything like that, it's just that I never thought I'd be able to get a copy of For U'R Height only and I finally found it

[The Prestige]

Hmm, I have to say my original Buffy & Angel DVD Collection, because the packaging I have is the UK Album styled ones, and they don't do that style anymore, so I guard them with my life.

[king_of_movies_316]

I got this gold case specail edition of the orig TCM and the Shawshank Redemption.

[neiltracy]

The new special edition Godfather DVD set. Hard to argue with arguably the greatest movie of all time.

[Vangar]

I would say Band of the Hand, took me a long time to get it and is one of my favorite childhood movies :)

[n3wt]

Friday 13th collection 1-8, Hellraiser trilogy and my specail editions of Terminator 1 and 2

[meatwadsprite]

Seven Samurai and Dazed and Confused criterions have pretty cool cases.

[The Prestige]

Hey Justin that Oldboy packaging is well cool..

[meatwadsprite]

I remember when that Oldboy DVD came out at suncoast - I had no clue what the movie even was back then.

[Austruck]

Most prized by me? Probably either the three seasons of "Lost" (which I can see myself rewatching many times in the future) or the Battlestar Galactica seasons. More of the same gushy feeling of rewatchable goodness.

Plus, the DVD of the one season of the Saturday morning "Weird Al Show." I'm glad to have it all in one place in a good format. I'd been videotaping them at the time they were on, but to have them in DVD form minus commercials and with other goodies is just very cool.

[Daffodil]

The LOTR trilogy, probably. We've got about four copies of each movie.

[king_of_movies_316]

Friday the 13th box set. It has 1 to 8 and most of the movies that are in the box set are realy hard to find with out buying the box set. eg. if you live in Australia, try finding part 7,6 or 5 on DVD.

[emma_sue82]

my Xrated version of Pirates starring Jesse Jane. Taking movies to new levels!

[Mr. Metro]

The Godfather

[Ðèstîñy]

I'd say this is the best packaged item I have. I'm not too into that sort of thing, though.

The Star Wars trilogy has to be the most expensive item in my DVD collection I remember having paid 60euros for that one (i think that's nealry 70-75 in dollars)

someone correct me with the conversions if they know but i think that's about right

The waves of emotion's that I get while watching an episode is the best gift for me right now! I'm just blown away by this show and so happy that my boyfriend has turned me on to this show!!!!!!!!!

[Sir Toose]

Probably my two Manson documentaries that were made for me by the film maker.

[Tacitus]

Probably my two Manson documentaries that were made for me by the film maker.

I had to re-read that, because the first time I thought that you'd been sent the DVDs by old Charlie himself...

When this thread popped up in the 'following' bit in my profile I wondered what DVD I had originally picked to warrant inclusion and was a bit disappointed to find that my only contributions were some anal wittering about Withnail & I. :(

Recently, I'm proud of my Naked Criterion Edition:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/greenspagbol/DVCHZEDFVSXgHG_l.jpg

'Cos it's been so shoddily treated on DVD over here.

And my Deadwood box set, because it's just so lovely to look at, hold and smell:

Gone With the Wind 75th anniversary limited edition 4 disc blu ray
Blade Runner 5 disc complete collector's edition
Stanley Kubrick limited edition 10 disc blu ray box set

[Cryptic]

My Extended Edition trilogy of LotR.

[skizzerflake]

Since almost all of them are not rare or anything like that, I'd pick The Call of Cthulhu, a movie I saw in our local indie venue. It's a sound-era silent, black and white film, made on a shoestring budget by the HP Lovecraft Historical Society. As such, it's faithful to the Lovecraft story. The silent, monochrome aspect of it seems exactly right for the time period of both the story and Lovecraft. And, to add to its virtues, it's filmed in "Mythoscope", whatever that means and has a very dramatic music soundtrack. Stop-motion animation adds to the overall effect of this very deliberate anachronism.

I saw the movie on the big screen, loved it and bought a copy on the way out of the door. It won several indie film awards. I also have another movie they did, The Whisperer in Darkness, but Cthulhu is my favorite.

[Torgo]

This is selling for a whopping $162 on Amazon. Funnily enough, I lent it to someone I lost touch with a long time ago and only got it back recently. What a relief they didn't look up how much it's worth, huh? :D

https://i.imgur.com/jQvR3Ak.jpg

There's also this 2002 release, which I'm pretty sure I bought at Kroger for less than $15, but is now priced at $75! Does that mean I've considered parting with it?

Roots of Evil (1979): When I heard about this title, I had to have my hands on it as a fan of martial arts films. This has both an all-region Blu-Ray with English audio tracks and a German-dubover track. It also has the soundtrack, which is led by star Christian Anders' theme song "Dead End" and there are interviews with Anders and co-stars Deep Roy (who plays the mastermind villain) and Wolfgang Schutte (who plays Ander's buddy) and like Anders, is also a martial artist.

New York Ninja (1984/2021): You've seen the thread possibly. Kurtis Spieler constructed the film after finding the reels of the unfinished 1984 John Liu-led film. The artwork on the Blu-Ray case was done by a friend of mine, Robert "KungFuBob" O'Brien (he does fantastic artwork on DVDs and Blu-Rays for various companies and even does the occasional shirt too).

It also has the soundtrack, which is led by star Christian Anders' theme song "Dead End" and there are interviews with Anders and co-stars Deep Roy (who plays the mastermind villain) and Wolfgang Schutte (who plays Ander's buddy) and like Anders, is also a martial artist.

New York Ninja (1984/2021): You've seen the thread possibly. Kurtis Spieler constructed the film after finding the reels of the unfinished 1984 John Liu-led film. The artwork on the Blu-Ray case was done by a friend of mine, Robert "KungFuBob" O'Brien (he does fantastic artwork on DVDs and Blu-Rays for various companies and even does the occasional shirt too).
