I am not looking to expand the collection much in the comming time as I am saving up to buy an Archos AV420 before the beginning of the next school year. If I do buy something it will likely be more Frasie seasons and Northern Exposure season 2 and of course the odd movie.

Ghost in the Shell (weird how I even have these, I don't particularily like Anime at all)

and a bunch more I don't really want to take the time to recall at the moment.

Oh, and, because it's so lame to even mention it, a making of DVD that came with Resident Evil 4.

PrejudiceSucks 15-06-2005 12:02 PM

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.

You mean Lola Rennt?

Microprose Veteran 15-06-2005 03:24 PM

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.

Doubler 15-06-2005 03:28 PM

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...


Flop 15-06-2005 03:32 PM

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:

troop18546 15-06-2005 03:43 PM

I lost the interest in films a few years ago. I have a few CD's with films in it but that ain't nothing to brag about... :yawn:

yea, sorry. It was like, 3 am when I wrote that, and the title escaped me somewhat. German is not my forte.

BeefontheBone 21-06-2005 12:40 PM

Slight delay in replying here, but I just finsihed cataloguing my DVDs this morning, so I thought I'd show it off here.

http://home.ripway.com/2005-6/333022/BeefsDVDs.rar

It's an Excel spreadsheet in there by the way.

Danny252 21-06-2005 04:33 PM

Not many dvds, bot hell too many videos..
I think my sister has the first 6 seasons of ST:voyager and 7/8 of buffy on video.. too many..

PrejudiceSucks 21-06-2005 04:36 PM

I have to say to anyone that has got Starship Troopers on DVD that you have done yourself an enormous favour.

It's a brilliant film that not many people realise is ironic. A lot of people watch it for the nudity and action *sighs*.

Microprose Veteran 21-06-2005 06:07 PM

Starship Troopers: I wish that Paul Verhoeven had directed a sequel revealing it was the humans who caused the meteor attack themselves so they had a pretext to go to war.

The film would end with only one of the main characters still alive. Either Carmen, Johnny or Carl. Or perhaps even Ace, turning a secondary character into a main character, who narrates at the end how the war went after the main characters died or got killed in action.
