Top Three Must-Have DVS

Tombstone - excellent transfer & sound mix, unique extra features (newspaper article from the OK Corrall trial)

Toy Story - Ultimate Toy Box - Impeccable video & audio qulity, exenstive and interesting special features

Moulin Rouge - Excellent transfer & sound mix, engaging menu design, interesting and fun special features.

1. Citizen Kane - you need to own one of the best movies of all time and the disk has a great picture and good extras.

2. The Godfather Collection - The best mob flicks ever and a good presentation on DVD.

3. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - get it while you can, stunning disk of a true Disney classic.

* 2001: A Space Odyssey--because it is my all-time favorite film and because Warner's new 16:9-enhanced transfer is gorgeous.

* Zardoz--a quirky SF film that's also a major personal favorite, and because Fox produced this DVD as a result of lobbying efforts by Home Theater Forum members.

* Citizen Kane--because it is the greatest film ever made and Warner has given this DVD boxset the lavish treatment (and transfer) it deserves.

1. Toy Story Ultimate Edition Box Set - Great Disney movies. Reference picture, excellent sound, great extras.
2. Gladiator - Oscar winner, good movie. Reference picture & sound.
3. Rush Hour 2 - Good popcorn flick, reference sound. Good for multiple viewings.

Spartacus: Criterion Collection - great picture and sound, worth while extras, including a wonderful audio commentary, stylish and effective menu design.
2001: - A Space Odyssey I can't explain how good both the picture and sound are on this disc, it is a must have. There are no extras, but the quality in all other areas more than makes up for that.
Fight Club - this disc really shows how good a disc can be when all the right elements are in place: a supportive studio, a dedicated director, an enthusiastic DVD producer. Picture and sound are top notch, along with 4 excellent audio commenataries.

1. Oh Brother where art thou' - transfer and added features.

2. Independence Day - Sound

3. Dinosaur or Shrek - Both are fantastic all around performers.

Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box. Great transfers, and great audio, especially Toy Story 2. Also chock full of fun and informative extra features. A terrific value. A wonderful box set that truly shows off the possibilities of the DVD format.
Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition. Another film school in a box. Loaded with extra features including DTS audio and seamless branching. Will make you learn about easter eggs. Also an entertaining movie. Very good transfer and soundtrack.
Almost Famous Director’s Edition. Gives you the choice of watching the original theatrical presentation or the Director’s cut with 39 minutes of new footage. The new footage adds significantly to the original movie by filling in some plot lines and enhancing character development. DTS audio included in the original theatrical presentation. A very innovative extra included about Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. If you like classic rock from the 70s, get this 2 disc set. Another great transfer and soundtrack.

The Godfather Trilogy- great bonus features (commentaries etc)
Se7en - New Line Platinum Series- great bonus features, good audio&video quality
Saving Private Ryan DTS- amazing sound

Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box: Disney went all out with this box set. And a sparkling transfer to boot.
Die Hard 5 Star: Incredible transfer and the DTS will blow you away!
Planet of the Apes 2001: Good movie great transfer and plenty of extras.
I could go on but we were only allowed three choices.:frowning:

1. Star Wars Episode I : Excellent sound mix, nifty menus that change every time you insert the disc, and very well done documentaries, such as "The Beginning"

2. Fantasia 2000 : The sound and video transfer will blow you away. A truly reference disc.

3. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs : Shows how interactive a DVD can be, with interactive tours and documentaries that show the making of the movie from beginning to end. Plus, this DVD shows how a movie that is 65 years old can look and sound amazing!
