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?

I wouldn't be paying £50 with £20 P&P (still five days remaining) but it's a snap compared to the Alien Head box at £200-and-something.
If you want it enough it's a good deal.

Yep, think they're still sealed actually.

Do you know where that can be bought? eBay are too expensive last time I checked.
Do you buy all the Disney Treasures including the Mickey Mouse Club and that Huck Finn thing?

Just ordered Scrubs: Season 2. Yey.
I ordered some DVDs from Play.com last night:
Team America
Hostage
Shawshank Redemption
Apocalypse Now: Redux
and, erm... Speed: special edition
I've seen Apocalypse Now on Sky and I've really taken to this brilliant film already. Therefore, it has a place in my collection. Speed was probably one of the first one of 'those films' that I say, and really liked it. It was between that purchase and something like Johnny English or Terminator 2 - but I found I could get those another time, or even cheaper elsewhere (CD-WOW!). Plus, I'm in this wierd Dennis Hopper-mood after 24 series one...
I've never seen the Shawshank Redemption, so I'm quite intrigued to do so after what I've heard. Team America should be a laugh - though, I'm probably one of a select few from the country not to have seen this film yet... :P I've always liked the mix between 'Bruce Willis' and 'action'.
Die Hard 4.0 seems to keep drifting further and further away, so hopefully this may patch that hole up temporarily, as I've heard good things also.
I also noticed the first two series' of Home Improvement are available now on Region 2 DVD - there goes another two onto my list! ;D
But I couldn't work out why, seven years after the original, they are only now releasing a special edition DVD of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? And, it's priced, at £12.99, the same as the standard version.

I never really enjoyed the Matrix, it was never fully explained even after the third film and the plot was a hashed attempt at adding meaning to an otherwise empty SFX film.
Mystique, you need this.
