Who doesn't love Showgirls?

What HK said.

I like Hollow Man and don't understand the poor critical reception it received. It's a solid for me.

Who can hate a film with Elisabeth Shue in it!

It was released as separate episodes but it flows together well. I could also say The Golem, it's from the same year, 1915

Since this is the thread with dvd questions in I hope I am ok posting this question here.

The first DVD I ever owned was Three Kings starring George Clooney and Ice Cube. I got this when DVDs were brand new and the ps2 first came out. It's in of those old cases you know the cardboard ones with the black clasp. I can't find it anywhere online and was just wondering if anyone knew or could venture a guess if it is worth any decent money now or not?

I will post a photo of it when I get on the laptop because I'm on my phone atm.

Cheers guys

I think I know the type of box you're on about... it has like a plastic clip along the open edge.

TBH, I wouldn't say it was worth much bud. I got Ace Ventura, Demolition Man and Batman (1989) with the same boxes and they're worth the secondhand price. Maybe £3 or £5, tops.

You can buy that edition of Three Kings with plastic clasp on Amazon for about $5 at the moment. So I can't see the UK edition being worth anything either. Is it region 1 or region 2 you have?

I've got a lenticular/3D edition special cover of the Ghost Ship remake with the same cardboard packaging and a black clasp and that's not worth much.

Metropolis (1927)

the Conjuring (2013). haven't watched it yet tho

Steven Spielberg (6), really should be more than that, as i don't own E.T. or Jaws

yes. if i don't like them that much i trade 'em in to a local DVD store for something else i haven't seen, repeat cycle

Its a region 2 but you probably right i recently found it after all these years and thought their may be a chance of it being rare but ahh well at least i tried.

Thanks guys

Just got some rep for this old post from April 2012 and thought I'd see how accurate it still is:

Still true, but I'd add The Man With the Iron Fists.

Still true.

Obviously not true anymore. Most recent release in my collection is Dallas Buyers Club. Most recent purchases are Man Bites Dog and The Three Colors Trilogy.

I have actually counted since then and I was kind of right. It isn't either Tim Burton or Steven Spielberg. It's both. They're tied at 11 movies each.

Still true, but now that I've access to Netflix, Amazon streaming and online streaming I do it much less frequently.

There are now 11 non-English language movies in my collection. 9 of those are in French.

Do you buy movies you haven't seen?
Sometimes. I usually rent off of Netflix but if they don't have the movie or I keep getting jacked up copies, I buy it.
If you have 20 movies how many are foreign?
Donnie, I don't really understand the question. I'll count my first 20 movies and see how many are foreign. 9
How many Criterions do you own?
I think 15
How many silent films do you own?
Off the top of my head, I'd have to say 0. I enjoy many silent films but don't think I've bought any yet.
Biggest box set (in terms of amount of discs)?
Abbott and Costello Collection
Favorite DVD (not movie, but the DVD itself)?
Oldboy. It's in this tin box and comes with three DVDs (one of which is a 3 hour long making of) and the manga.

New questions

How many criterions do you own?

Three. Or maybe five depending on how you're counting. Man Bites Dog, The Three Colors Trilogy and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (which I blind bought on Amazon not even knowing it was Criterion). I'm not Criterion crazy like some people. I did very nearly buy Being John Malkovich on Criterion, but forced myself to delete it from my cart, since I already have it on standard DVD and don't need more duplicate titles.

How many silent films do you own?

One. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. It's the only silent I fell in love with. I might add The Kid and The General at some point, though.

Biggest box set (in terms of amount of discs)?

No idea. Probably a TV thing though. Blackadder: Remastered maybe? That has six discs.

I tend to avoid movie boxed sets unless it's a film series, otherwise it screws up my alphabetized organizational system.

Favorite DVD (not movie, but the DVD itself)?

I don't know. I usually buy DVDs for the movie. Maybe the 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Big Lebowski. I like the bowling ball case. I never opened it, though. It was a stupid impulse buy. I already had the standard DVD.

Least favorite movie in your collection and your rating?
Dahmer vs. Gacy - I bought it for some reason, not really knowing what to expect. I bought it like five years ago, and I suppose that I thought it would be a lot more put-together, even then, I was offended, and over the years as I've matured, I have only begun hating the movie more and more. A poorly done comedy about two actual serial-killers, romanticizing and glamorizing them, it's ****ing trash.

Oldest movie?
Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Most recent movie?
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Do you buy movies you haven't seen?
Often. When a movie is two-dollars to purchase and one-dollar to rent, that's usually when I take a leap of faith and buy it. I find movies for cheap a lot of the time, so it's not to big of a bite out of my wallet.

Least favorite movie in your collection and your rating?
I usually don't buy movies I don't like, but for a reason I ignore I have Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo on blu ray I'd rate it 5/10
Oldest movie?
I think The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Most recent movie?
Django Unchained or Life of Pi
Director with most movies?
I have 8 Hitchcock and 7 Tarantino.
Do you buy movies you haven't seen?
Rarely
If you have 20 movies how many are foreign?
I don't know I have a lot of foreign films, but I wouldn't know the ratio
How many criterions do you own?
9 (Man Bites Dog, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Paths of Glory, Le Trou, Umberto D, The Bicycle Thieves, Le Samurai, The Wages of Fear and Ikiru)
How many silent films do you own?
0
Biggest box set (in terms of amount of discs)?
Tarantino XX I think.
Favorite DVD (not movie, but the DVD itself)?
I'd say Psycho on Blu Ray is awesome as well as the criterion of Ikiru
