"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?

Disney's best animated film. It was probably my favourite film when it was first released.

Friday -

Hellboy (never seen it before)
Bill & Ted (both films)
Gettysburg (never seen it before)
Gods & Generals (ditto)
Identity (and again)
Conan the Destroyer (come on, it was only 4 quid!)
The Lion King (because, y'know, it brings back happy memories)

Watched Hellboy last night. Not without its problems, but fairly decent.

Open Water.

Specifically likeing foreign language movies and going out of your way to tell everyone about it doesn't make you any cooler you know.

Anyhoo, I'd recommend Tae Guk Gi (Brotherhood of war), a Korean movie that's far superior to Saving Private Ryan (it's immediate comparison)

Meh yourself :0P

Meh

The Bourne Supremacy

Ooh I should be getting some more movies soon. I've got 20 quid to spend. I'm considering buying one of the zatoichi boxsets. Anyone seen any of these? I like the new zatoichi so these should also be fairly good. Or maybe I'll get...err any reccommendations foreign movies wise? Thanks
