"What's your recent DVD purchase?"

Before DVDs came along there was VHS. I never bought a single movie on VHS, my brother only bought 3 (SE Star Wars) and my younger brother about 10 (a mix of 80ies films like Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Red Dwarf).

But now we seem to buy DVDs all the time, collectively we have just under 200 DVDs now and we buy atleast 1 DVD a week as a family. (we used to rent a lot but we dont anymore and the nearest cinema is 30 minutes drive away). I guess it is good news for the television and film industries. Anyone else noticed that they're buying more DVDs than they did VHS?

My recent DVD purchase was Donnie Darko Prism Edition. At a very nice price of £4.99 to encourage those who wouldnt have bought the film otherwise, despite having no special features. It's a very interesting and unusual film nothing like I've seen before.

I also pre-ordered a DVD boxset. Most of you are too young and would probably confuse it with the awful Matt LeBanc movie that came out years ago. It's the Lost In Space Series 1 boxset. 8 DVDs, 31 episodes, a collective running time of 23 hours and 42 minutes (possible marathon attempt?) At a nice price of £39.99 "DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!"

Anyone else buy anything on DVD lately?

Not today, I need to catch up on watching what I've bought. Until next week!! Or maybe tomorrow :o)

My DVD arrived today after ordering it on Wednesday.

One flew over the cuckoo's nest starring Jack Nicholson

Winner of 5 academy awards including best picture.

I’ve actually bought it for my step dad but it looks like it would be great to watch so I might have a watch before I give it to him.

blimey Damarus you're not into DVDs are you, maybe you're a cinema person or just don't like watching stuff much :) Myst seems to buy a DVD daily, she'll be posting later today no doubt on her latest purchase or pre-order. You know, I do wonder where she gets all her money from.

The last DVD I bought was Ali G - In DA House, and that was years ago.

Wow, I didn't know that, thanks. I'll try and check it out if I aint' at work.

I wanna see Michael Moore's new film Farenheit 9/11 its on next Friday i think

Yeah I watched it today, it's a real eye opener.

Especially that guy at the end, who more or less was backed into a corner that the only reason he continued to promote guns was because of his greed for money

Bowling for Columbine is awesome

In the last three days I have bought

South park season 4 (Region 1)
Out Cold
Black Books volume 2
Bowling for Columbine
The Clerks cartoon (region 1)

as well as a bunch of CD's.

I realised i hadn't bought any new stuff in a while and went crazy

Got Donnie Brasco in blockbuster for £5

Great gangster film with Al Pacino and Jonny Depp

9/10
