Scott  Houck houcks@wam.umd.edu	12/11/2001 10:50:21 AM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users I'd still have to say Fight Club is up there as one of the best I've gotten. Everything from the movie to the extras to the packaging sets it apart as one of the best (in my opinion). [Top]  [Bottom]  [Listen]  [Edit]  [Reply]

some  guy parkert@u.washington.edu	12/11/2001 8:42:06 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users I only own about 5 dvds since there are very few movies that make me want to watch them more than once. Here's my hall of fame: The Big Lebowski Caddyschack Spaceballs The Jerk Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Office Space (need to get it) I know I will kick myself later when I rember more I foolishly forgot, but that's what I can remember for now.

Alexis  Kwong csoulrules@hotmail.com	12/11/2001 9:33:48 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users I just watched the Final Fantasy DVD and it was totally awesome!! It's definitely up there with Die Hard Five Star Edition and Snatch Special Edition [Top]  [Bottom]  [Listen]  [Edit]  [Reply]
Greg  McMurray mcmurry@cs.utah.edu	12/11/2001 10:02:23 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users I don't know what DVD I really think is best... I own several, but none really stick out in my mind. One thing I can add however is a plug for dvdtalk.com. They have lots of reviews on tons and tons of DVD's including their special features and other things.

Jan  q Voung cerebratej@hotmail.com	12/11/2001 10:10:32 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users Woh, you actually liked Final Fantasy? I mean, putting the graphics aside... I felt that FF the movie was a HUGE disappointment... There wasn't enough character development for me to care about the characters when they were in trouble during the action scenes, so I had no sense of danger or intensity... I know it's not the fact that the characters were CG; movies by Pixar made me care more about the characters and care more about what was going on in the movie... sorry off topic.

Sachin  Nayak sachin@xyion.net	12/11/2001 10:10:57 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users I like my Fight CLub DVD, as well as my Shrek DVD. Both are very good movies, and have tons of extras. I heard Planet of the Apes was pretty good as well, but, I didnt like the movie, so I'm not going to rent the DVD. [Top]  [Bottom]  [Listen]  [Edit]  [Reply]
Scott  Stone dlimiter@hotmail.com	12/12/2001 4:01:56 AM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users I'll predict the Twin Peaks Season 1 DVD, but I'm a fan of the show, and the VHS tapes are very poor. In any case it's TV @ it's best. [Top]  [Bottom]  [Listen]  [Edit]  [Reply]
Adam  Azarchs admeralthrawn@hotmail.com	12/12/2001 5:58:36 AM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users Terminator 2 has a great DVD. Great movie too. Too bad Star Wars doesn't exist on DVD. Stupid Lucas insisting on backing DIVIX... [Top]  [Bottom]  [Listen]  [Edit]  [Reply]
Ammon  Beckstrom devhood@byu.net	12/12/2001 10:02:15 AM Avg. Rating: 3 by 2 Users The Phantom Menace is out on DVD, just not the original trilogy. As far as extra content goes, SWTPM is above average. Great features and lots of goodies. Supposedly, the reason Lucas isn't wanting to do much with DVDs is because he wants to convert his movies to an all digital format; this is why he's filming Episodes II and III in an all digital format. The thinking is that then he can have (even more) absolute control over distribution. Movie theaters won't get film, they'll get a satellite uplink to Skywalker Ranch that will broadcast the movie. Same for home release viewers, they'll tap into Lucas' system to watch the movie. Nobody will have a videocassette, a DVD, or anything. The only plus I see is no fees for returning the movie late or for failure to rewind... [Top]  [Bottom]  [Listen]  [Edit]  [Reply]
Manesh  Pillai manesh@wam.umd.edu	12/12/2001 1:05:30 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users I think the Shrek DVD has some of the funniest extras ever. Especially the alternative ending with everyone singing famous tunes. It's hilarious. The Shrek DVD also has this thing where you can provide your own voices for certain scenes in the movie, and then using a DVD-ROM, you can watch the entire movie, with your scenes placed in.

Simon  Timms timms@ugrad.cs.ualberta.ca	12/12/2001 1:20:24 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users The "bloopers" from toystory 2 have got to be one of the funniest things i have ever seen. I really like the way pixar adds outtakes to their movies. I hear there are some in monsters inc now, but i already went and saw it once. Anybody seen the extras in monsters?

Arash  Yazdani arash_man@hotmail.com	12/12/2001 2:31:59 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 1 Users I love Terminator 2 (the Ultimate edition), Snatch, and Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels :) In my mind, its the movie that makes the DVD, not the extra stuff! [Top]  [Bottom]  [Listen]  [Edit]  [Reply]
Ammon  Beckstrom devhood@byu.net	12/12/2001 3:13:41 PM Avg. Rating: 3 by 2 Users Agreed, but the bonus content can be thought of as the icing on the already delicious cake. [Top]  [Bottom]  [Listen]  [Edit]  [Reply]
