First Ever DVD's
 

I just purchased my first ever DVD's and three of the four of them have great Special Features discs. I just thought I'd share my thrills.

"Moulin Rouge"
"Snatch"
"Lawrence of Arabia"
"Traffic"

I'm stoked.

What were the first DVD's you ever bought??

"The Matrix" was the first...ever. :)

Get Shorty was the first one I ever bought.

I believe The Good, the Bad & the Ugly was my first DVD.

My first LDs years before were BladeRunner, The Long Goodbye, North by Northwest, Miller's Crossing and The Empire Strikes Back. I bought all of those the very first night I had my player and just started drooling instantly. Love at first sight, that's for sure.

My first DVD, I didn't buy. I bought the DVD Player my dad bought the DVD. The DVD that he got for me was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Let's see, although it was only about two years ago, I can't remember the ones I got very clearly, but I can tell you this. I got:

The Sixth Sense
U.S. Marshals - Don't ask
American Pie
Office Space

I got the DVD player with my graduation money, and had some left over so I went and got some DVDs. Can't start off without any. :D

I even remember the first two DVDs I rented. Man on the Moon and The Omega Code(snoozer).

Babe :o :p

i got like 17 of my DVD's free from my dad's office, so the first one i ever bought was the godfather trilogy

The first one I rented was that cheerleader movie with Kirsten Dunst (Bring It On, I believe it was called).

:laugh: I ended up buying it for some odd reason. Even I have no idea why I bought it. I think everyone has those kinds of movies though, you know, ones you have no idea why you buy them.

i know exactly what u mean, spud, i bought whipped for 5 bucks for no reason.

I liked bring it on, i thought the whole cheerleading urban ledends and jargon was really clever.

There were some parts of it I thought were ok. I mean it wasn't that bad of a movie.

Spartacus (Widescreen but not Criterion)
L.A. Confidential: SE
Best of Friends Vols. 1 and 2
High Noon
Ben-Hur
Heat
The Maltese Falcon
Cool Hand Luke
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Othello (Fishburne/Branagh version)
Lawrence of Arabia: LE
2001: A Space Odyssey
Se7en: NLPS

The only reason I remember all of these is because I posted them in the New DVD's thread as soon as I got them last June.

You got all of these the same day?

the blade (tsui hark)
it was only £8.99 at the HMV clearout.

I had a DVD player for a year before buying my first DVD :)
they're a bit of joke here - £20 (about $32) for one DVD, and region 2 ones have less features than region 1.

Thankfully times are moving on, and the net is driving down the price of DVD's, I've bought roughly 20 in the last month over the internet:

The Thing
Nightmare on Elm Street Box Set
Night of the living dead
Dawn of the Dead
Evil Dead Series
Terminator 2
Total Recall
Audition
Perfect Blue
NInja Scroll
Princess Mononoke
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Brother
Hana-Bi
12 Monkeys
Throne of Blood
Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
Rashomon

That's my entire collection and now I'm skint.

That's a pretty good collection for what you DO have. :)

the first dvd's i ever got for free were casablanca and batman i love them both

Yes, the same day I received my DVD player: my birthday.

EDIT: Okay, I just re-read the first post and see that this is supposed to be the first DVD's we bought. In that case, I must look at the "New DVD's" thread once more:

Fight Club
Richard III (Ian McKellen version)
Being John Malkovich

Pitch Black and Mortal Kombat. Oh yea... You fear it... :D

It took me a long time to post here cuz I couldn't remember.
But it was fight Club. My sister got ouit first player and I bought Fight Club and she bought Sixth Sense.

It's kinda funny, those of us who have large collections, we can still remember our first's. :laugh:

what's considered a large collection?

There is no real standard. Most of the DVD nuts here seem to have a bit over 100. I'd be surprised if Laurie L, who used to hang around here, didn't have 500 (at least). I think Holden has a few hundred (400 or something...not sure, though). I myself only have around 20 or so.

Laurie posted her collection in the "What's In Your Collection" thread a few months back. She has over 800 I believe. :)

Actually, I recounted recently and I'm up over 500 DVDs now, and still 600+ LDs. Then at least a hundred VHS tapes still kickin' around too.

The more impressive (or perhaps embarassing) thing about my collection vs. Laurie's is that I actually have to pay for mine. If I got 'em for free through my job, I'd have about 1,500 by now.
;)

I think that goes for just about any of us Holden. I mean, if we could get free dvds through work, we would all have some massive collections. :)

I only buy DVD's when they're cheapie, my measly income and expensive lifestyle means most my movies are DivX and VCD :laugh: :laugh: (over 300 in that collection lol! and they're free, so why don't you lot have thousands? rent 'n' rip)

Uh, because it's ILLEGAL. :laugh:

I usually try to buy movies cheap, but no matter how you plan it, they always bring em down in price again just when you think that's the lowest they'll go on the price.

I do buy some of the not so cheap DVDs from time to time, call it an impulse. :D

Yeah I just did that with Profondo Rosso, where the hell else am I going to get a copy.

hell it doesn't even sell here, I've gotta get it from America. spending a good amount there...

Illegal? uhm? what's that?
(will not say anymore based on grounds of self-incrimination)

:yup: You got it. :)

`fight club
`american beauty
`pulp fiction

The first DVD I ever bought? Mallrats. The first DVD I ever owned was given to me as a gift, and it was South Park the Movie.

ever after...

Heh, resser...I won't even try.

First DVD: Boondock Saints

I cherrish it.

Radiohead - Meeting people is Easy and Blade.

First dvd i ever bought was blood: the last vampire.

The First DVD I bought was Scary Movie

First ever eh...Let me think here... (smoke pouring out)

It was either Highlander or 12 Monkeys, I can't remember which. I have since had to re-purchase 12 Monkeys, as it got lifted.

My first DVD was a gift to my brothers and I, my surrogate older brother knew that my parents were getting us a DVD player so he bought us 'The Princess Bride'. Still prehaps one of my favorite DVD's.]\

Oh yeah I've never bought a DVD- whats the point if Daddy has a checkbook?

i burned the Princess Bride. Anyways my first was Resident Evil and of course i dont have it anymore cause i sold it. :bawling: how could i!? it was my first dvd. Anyways

My first was "Mallrats".

Im up to about 110 DVD's now.

im up to 15 dvds now

You have me beat by 4 or 5... :) I'm prettysure I own 11, and I can't even name them all, at the moment.

My first 4 were The Neverending Story, Elizabeth, Withnail and I and The Princess Bride.

the first dvd that was given to me was Tomb Raider, the first i purchased was Pulp Fiction, the guy in HMV thought i was 18 (i was 13 when i bought it, im 15 now)

Firsts DVD for me was POTC. Unfortunately when I ordered it from amazon, along with my DVD player, they somehow thought I wanted 2 DVD players instead. Pirates didn't arrive for over a week...

lol people dont care about your age as long as they make money i bought pulp fiction when i was 14 i think and my friend buys pornos at suncoast. Best Buy, Circuit City, etc sells you anything they dont care either. But in Gamestop when you want to buy used movies you need a parent. :(

Oh yea Ash whats POTC?

Pirates of the Caribbean. Just happens to be my most watched DVD aswell.
As for age ratings, every shop I go to is so damn strict with them. I wouldn't be surprised if Old World War 2 Veterans get asked to provide ID at some places.

lol i own that Movie too

The very first dvds that I bought were Die Hard 1&2, and Final Destination.

They were on sale for $10 each.

I wish I could remember :(

My first ever DVD was The Matrix Reloaded

Later!

the first one ever bought for me was logic skateboarding. i recently bought me FIRST DvD!!! :) Pulp Fiction!!!

Matrix was my first. :)

I'm not really sure which we got first but the first three movies to arrive at my house, courtesy of my dad, were Lost In Space, Godzilla (1998), and The Matrix.

First ever DVD: The Matrix Reloaded

later!

What was the point of posting that twice?

Garrett whats your first dvd?

I'm pretty sure it was Black Mask or some other action film with Jet Li.

Garrett i want to eat your avatar cause im starving

My first ever DVD was mine before I even ha da DVD.
That's the anime Argentosoma first volume. After those episodes, I never watched Argentosoma again, because it never caught my attention too much.
This dvd was, infact, the most expensive DVD to this date in my collection, going on about 56 dollars Canadian.
No other DVD I own comes close.

Spam.
