[Ross Leonard]

MASH box set - Improvements on original quality, no laugh track, a long-time favourite show.

Stars Episode I - Amazing sound, pod race is spectacular!

Tron - Great transfer, no jaggies!

Is this supposed to be a "What was your first dvd thread?"

If it is:

Mine was Disney's Tarzan CE - summer 2000 - a bit late in the game.

 

[Matt_Wizall]

The double pack of A Time to Kill and Shawshank Redemption from Costco.

Would really like to see an SE for both.

Unforgiven R2
Platoon Live Entertainment SE R1
Both back in the early days
to the polls with this one I believe

 

[Will K]

L.A. Confidential and the first DVD version of The Exorcist. I actually bought both of these a month before I even had a player.

 

[Jack Briggs]

Hi, Ross--welcome aboard. And I believe Ross meant this thread as an enthusiastic comment about getting his first DVDs. Right? I don't think this is a poll, per se.

Anyhow, the best is yet to come, Ross!

 

[DannyS]

anchor bays halloween 2 disc set in 1999. 2 years before I got a player! after 40 discs I got one! (mad I know!)

 

[Brian_Anderson]

I bought the original release of Tron and from then on vowed to never buy VHS again, and all this was 7 months before I bought an actual player for it.

The subject line is a bit misleading. Thought you were discussing the 1st DVD's on the market since "What Was Your 1st DVD" threads have been done to death already!

My first was The Nightmare On Elm St Platinum Edition Box Set.

 

[Rob_C]

The Matrix.

 

[Mike H]

The first movie I bought was Blade.

The first movie's I watched where Boogie Nights & The Mask of Zorro. Both excellent movies. Rentals from Hollywood Video with a rented DVD player.

The first DVDs I bought were Gladiator, Seven, The Mummy, and A Clockwork Orange. I got them because my sister had got a PS2 for Christmas in 2000. I used money and gift certificates to buy them a couple days after Christmas that year. Even with the PS2, I noticed a huge and better difference with DVD over VHS. When I got a real DVD player this past September, I noticed an even better change. I'll never go back to VHS. I only watch the Star Wars original trilogy on VHS. I never really got into laserdisc, so I don't have the laserdiscs.

[Andrew_Sch]

My family's first DVD was the cartoon Grinch, and my first one that I actually bought was X-Men,

Me, too Rob. But I didn't buy it until December 9th, when the Live Entertainment version of Platoon came out. So I guess that makes it 1A or 1B.

(Interesting, but still a poll... )

 

[Patrick McCart]

I bought The Abyss, "Weird Al" Yankovic: The Videos, and Vegas Vacation first.

Vacation is OK, but the fact it's not letterboxed is a downer. It originally surprised me because I thought all DVD's were correctly shown in their aspect ratios on DVD.

Ha.

And we all have one Major studio to blame

 

[Keith Helms]

My first was an Imax title about Rain Forests. Nothing else was out back in April 97.
