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?

Yay, Teachers seasons 1 - 3 box set for £25.
Nice.
Nice.
Won Bruce Lee on ebay, should get that soon!
Akira and Ghost in the Shell, as part of my accumulation of anime. I like Trigun and Cowboy Bebop. I'm not sure whether I want to like more anime or not - I don't know if my wallet can take it.
I also picked up Bill Hicks and Laurel and Hardy (it was £2, and I was curious) DVDs from HMV.
The Bill Hicks DVD (one night stand) turned out to feature only a half hour of footage, which was lame, and forced me to fill the unexpected gap in my evening with Laurel and Hardy.
The Laurel and Hardy dvd featured 4 *silent* short films, each with either Laurel *or* Hardy, which seemed like cheating. Although really old (pre - real laurel and hardy) silent movies were probably more interesting, if only for the time warp factor, than actual laurel and hardy.
There were a couple of funny bits, which surprised me, and some incredible *cough* special effects.
I feel HMV shafted me on both purchases, although I can't complain too much about anything with Bill Hicks in it, or anything that you never see unless you buy random wierd dvds.

The Incredibles - I sometimes go through phases where I tend to watch kids movies and this was an enjoyable watch.
