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?

If I had the money I'd buy two DVD's I've been looking at for ages. Bad Santa and The Station Agent. Both are equally at the top of my DVD want list. Anyone seen them? I know some of you would have seen Bad Santa but I'm not sure about the other. I'm also eagerly anticipating the release of the mega 3-disc Clerks DVD which is out in just over a month!
Now If I only had a job...

Last ones I bought for me:
Richard Pryor Live, Bubba Ho-Tep, They Live:Special Edition, Salvador collector's edition and La Reine Margot.

Just ordered the R1 special edition of "The Goonies" for the missus, complete with deleted scenes (the octopus) and commentary from all of the Goonies.
