What was the last DVD you bought and why?
Reply to Topic
I'm a happy Tatty today because I think this is the very last VHS upgrade I'll be doing, and what a fantastic film to be doing it with. So to speak.
3 discs of beguiling dreaminess.

That it is. 
One of the most evocative and, as you say, beautiful films I've ever seen. £8.99 on the HMV site, which is a bit of a bargain.

I decided that my collection needed more DiCaprio.

I used the last of the money I raised from the sale of my techno records to buy these...
Pupi Avati's The House With Laughing Windows (1976)
&
Massimo Dallamano's What Have You Done to Solange? (1972)
Both films are considered amongst the best examples of the Italian Giallo, and therefore essential. In fact our very own honeykid drew my attention to What Have You Done to Solange? rating it as one of his favourites, so I'm looking forward to seeing that one in particular

Sin Nombre shows up at my house tomorrow. I hope it's good.

Someone recommended Sin Nombre to me today, then I checked out the trailer and lost the enthusiasm for the film I caught from the person who mentioned it, not that trailers are the final word on such matters. I'd appreciate it if one of you two, or better yet both, would mention what you thought of the film. A simple rating would suffice for me.
