"Twelve Monkeys or The Frighteners?"

I'm buying "3 for £20" from a well known on-line DVD store and so far I have The Crow and American Psycho - what should be the 3rd in my purchase: Twelve Monkeys or The Frighteners? I've seen both, own both on VHS and like both equally.

Alternatively, if someone can recommend 2 more from Play.com's list then I'll get "6 for £40" ...

I'd pick 12 Monkeys from the two, but's that's just personal preference.

And to disagree with Snuggers, I wouldn't buy The Man Who Wasn't There - the Coens don't only make great films - and I'd describe McCool's as a watch-once-only film (though possibly worth having for the Liv Tyler getting a bit wet scene.)

If you haven't got Se7en, buy it. Now.

I have ordered the special edition, but thanks for pointing it out anyway.

Oh and Timmargh, it may be an obvious point but make sure you order The Crow: special edition and not The Crow (non-special edition). Both versions of the film are in the 3 for £20 selection list...

Why not get Dark City as your third film? It's an amazing piece of film noir/sci fi and when you have watched it, you'll see how it's influenced many films in the genre.

I'd say Twelve Monkeys too, actually. Much more interesting, although The Frighteners is still good.

12 Monkeys.

I little while ago I got the pack of Ferris Bueller and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for an unbelievable £3 in WHSmiths. They were selling loads of stuff off at prices like that. I also got Super Monkey Ball 2 and another DVD (which I forget) for £3 each.

I was pleased.

No idea what these are like or about.

Seen it. Wasn't too keen.

I'll hazard a guess, seeing as there's over 200 on the list, and I don't know your DVD collection.

If you don't have Ferris Bueller, get it.
If you don't have Se7en, get it.
If you don't have American Psycho, get it.
If you don't have Out of Sight, get it.
If you don't have The Man Who Wasn't There, get it.
If you don't have One Night at McCools, get it.

I'd recommend Happiness, but then I remembered it's the most thoroughly depressing, emotionally crippling film I've ever seen. Most certainly not fun for all the family (don't watch if you have kids in the same room, for God's sake).

Frightner's

Fox + Jackson easily beat Willis + Gilliam. ;D

Is the frighteners the one with Micheal J Fox.. :S

Defniately the 12 monkeys..
