Can't brag with quantity, but there are a few real gems in my collection:

The Best of Bowie (47 David Bowie music videos,)
'Allo 'Allo series 1-4,
a box of seven excellent Andrzej Wajda movies,
6 Kaurismäki films,
the Three Colours trilogy of Kieslowski.

I'm jealous at Picard's Northern Exposure (the 2nd and the 3rd season are out on DVD too, by the way), The Muppet Show and The Young Ones discs. Must get.

The only things I have on DVD are the Red vs Blue series'.

They're pretty hilarious and I'm WAY too skint to actually have anything good.

Lola Rein

You mean Lola Rennt?

Hmmm, clearly I cannot hope to compete where quantity is concerned.

So, I will try to outbrag you all by listing my superior quality DVDs, reflecting greatly on the superior perception and intelligence of Yours Sincerely.

In no particular order:

-The Complete Two Seasons Of THE AWFUL TRUTH (Michael Moore!)
-Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" (some peeps wanna slit their wrists watching this but not me)
-LOTR EE DVDs, all three (twelve) of em yessirree!
-"Glory" superior warmovie about the first black regiment in the American Civil War (starring among others, Morgan Freeman and a young Denzel Washington)
-"V: the original miniseries" and "V: the final battle" (note: NOT the horrible 'third season')
-Paul Verhoeven's STARSHIP TROOPERS (it's a satire, really!)
-"Robin Of Sherwood," the best ever Robin incarnation ever, BBC series of the 80s (first two seasons starring Michael Praed, not Jason Connery, son of...)
-"Labyrinth"
-"The Tenth Kingdom"
-"Tombstone" if you like westerns, this is just for you! If you don't like westerns... this one's also for you! Excellent movie!
-"Fahrenheit 9/11"
-"The Nazis: A Warning From History"
-"When Trumpets Fade:" for all you who thought "Saving Private Ryan" was great, this movie is much better, more realistic (though not as big budget on special fx)

-"Once Upon A Time In The West"
-"Once Upon A Time In America" superior films dispelling the fairy tales about America...
-"The Matrix" and a few other movies but not bragging about these since they are fairly popular and all...

-nearly forgot to include this one! "Soldaat van Oranje" (Soldier of Orange)! Best Dutch warmovie evva! Better than most American warmovies for that matter.

Big DVD brag:
GTA San Andreas :D
(Barely had time to play though :not_ok: )

Seriously, I've only got two (other) DVD's myself:
'Art Garfunkel across America' and 'Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel'

Additions planned...

I've noticed that several people own Goodbye Lenin. I remember hearing about it when it came out, but I never got around to watching it. Maybe I should, if so many people deem it worthy to own.

And I also see that TWO(!) people own V the miniseries. All I remember from watching it is Marc Singer's (the guy from Beastmaster :D) abysmal performance. It's been a long, long time, though, so I might not be remembering correctly. Is it good, as in "actually good"? Or is it good as in campy/nostalgia/worth a laugh?

Microprose Veteran 15-06-2005 03:38 PM

"Is it good?"

How dare you question the quality of this excellent series! It's the age-old SF metaphor: ALIENS = NAZIS

Meaning that the alien invasion as depicted really shows how fascism can creep into society (they start banning scientists, subvert our youth through their indoctrination and it's chilling to see regular policemen collaborating with these fascist scum).

Marc Singer wasn't bad.

Jane Badler was HOT

WOOF!

"V: The Final Battle" was not bad either, since it had a bigger budget plus it included Michael Ironside.

It is good as in actual, campy and nostalgia. But no laughing matter... :ph34r:
