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?

Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels (Limited edition directors cut)

It's still all nice and sealed. I would rather like to see the bits that were cut out but I don't think it's worth it. I'd like to keep such a rare item in pristine condition.

A brilliant film and certainly much better than the drivel that was The Acid House.

American Psycho, Trainspotting and Apocalypse Now. It was 3 for £20 in Virgin and I had some unused vouchers left from Christmas.

I'd never seen any of them, but have always wanted to after hearing good things about them.

So far I've only watched Trainspotting, which was very good and mildly eye opening.

Die Hrad Trilogy - Collector's edition - £19.99
The Incredibles - £9.99

Well I got 10% discount too so was even cheaper. Only need A Bug's life (2 disc) to finish off the Pixar DVDs.
