"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?

Mational Treasure sucks ass but I love the guy who played Alec Trevelian in Goldeneye so yeys. And there is going to be a sequel? Upon watching it I though there could be and it to be called Matilda but that's already a film. :(

Maybe La Femme Matilda?

Cheers for reminding me..Leon is an utter classic..any news on the sequel? I heard they were seriously considering it a while back.

That's true. One of the best films ever. Sad ending though :'(

Just got National Treasure from work as a bonus :) Haven't watched it yet though

Leon, in two words : Absolute Class.

Worth watching for the wheelchair kung-fu.

I've just bought...

Almost Famous - Directors cut
Starsky and Hutch
Bram Stokers Dracula
Unforgiven - Special edition

Elektra/Daredevil Directors cut

Mainly for Daredevil DC, only cost £3 more for Elektra but i'm sure it'll be rubbish. Still, it has Jennifer garner- can't be all that bad :)

Ordered some films I've been meaning to get for a while; City on Fire (the film Tarantino ripped-off for Reservoir Dogs), Once a Thief and Testsuo the Iron Man (hadn't seen it for a very long time, and since I'm more into Eastern films now than back then I thought I'd give it another look).
Also pre-ordered Dragons Forever and Ong-Bak (I was thinking about seing it at the cinema but thought I'd just save money and buy it on dvd instead).

Not mine, my brothers :) thought I should mention that before anyone pointed that out to me.

Wasnt very good, I only watched it for the semi-nakedness :)
