Good topic. I hadn't ever thought about this.

According to IMDB, Twister was the first major movie released on DVD. Incidentally, it was also the last movie to be released on HD-DVD. Its original DVD release date was 3-26-97.

the first film released on DVD was Twister starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. (it's quite a lame film)
