"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?

Edward Scissorhands one of my favourites ^_^ as well as Labyrinth, you got that too? Perhaps not, there's something about Jennifer Connelly I'm sure I had a crush on her when I was a 'ickle boy.

And not to worry I did buy them from Play ^^ buy one get one free and I think they retail for 22.99 as well.

The BttF Trilogy is great I really should get round to watching all those extras, I think we bought it cheap so it was well worth it.

I would have gone for the whole set but then we're not really fans of the 3rd and 4th movie but I'm sure Play.com will sell them dirty cheap in a year or so I'll pick them up then :D

Obviously ;)

"Quadrilogy"
I love that word.

Talking to Snufkin there by the way.

I bought the Back to the Future Trilogy.

What's the point of getting that when you can get this?
