Annual "DVDs we got for Christmas" list (1 Viewer)

[Paul Arnette]

Christmas is a good time to catch up on those movies you want, but aren't critical.

Not including the numerous Hammer DVDs, etc. I bought for myself this season (thanks a lot DDD and your 20% coupons!) , the family and I hauled in the following:

Myself:

BRUCE LEE-MASTER COLLECTION
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (SUPERBIT)
MARK OF ZORRO
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY(CE)
FLETCH LIVES
THREE O'CLOCK HIGH
AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON (CE)
ALIEN QUADRILOGY

The Wife:

DIRTY DANCING: THE ULTIMATE EDITION
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL

 

[Matt_H]

The Omega Man

Life of Brian Criterion Collection

and the big one was

Wrong Men & Notorious Women - Five Hitchcock Thrillers 1935-1946 - Criterion Collection Box Set

containing
The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Rebecca, Spellbound, and Notorious
some will be OOP at the end of the year so I'm happy.
all cept omega man are blind buys but I don't think I really got to worry.

One question!
Is it normal for the bar codes to be hole punched in the box sets?

 

[Angel Pagan]

My wife got me an iPod (20gb) and Alias season 2 DVD.

My mom got me a leather mid-back massage office chair and The Ultimate Carson collection on DVD.

My cousin gave me the JBL Creature speaker set. (As soon as I connected them to my iBook, I realized my audio jack is damaged. Off to apple store I go with the iBook.)

My sister-in-law got me Family Guy V2 DVD, Two Towers Extended Edition DVD and the Stone Cold Truth book.

My brother's doing his shopping for us tomorrow when we all go to the mall so I get to pick what I want. He offered to get the x-box for me but i told him that's what i was planning to get myself.

 

[ChrisBEA]

I got:
The Kung Fu Master
Revenge of the Kung Fu Master
A Chinese Ghost Story
Red Spectacles

Family members got:
Concert for George
Tears of the Sun
LOTR: TT EE
Doors SOundstage Sessions
10 Years at the Brickyard
Waterworld
The Mask

I know I'm forgetting something.
My titles were surprises as most family members don't know where to find the HK titles and don't kow what I already have.
I did get some money and gift cards to get some more.

Best thing: a new Canon Digital Camera!

Merry Xmas to all!

[Jonathan Dagmar]

None of my damily members bought me DVDs even though I asked for them because it "was too comlicated your so picky about widescreen and stuff".

However during my Christmas shopping I bought several for myself. Almost Famous Bootleg, South Park: Bigger longer..., Boogie Nights, Austin powers, and Legend. I also bought Pulp Fiction, but returned it after I discovered the shoddy packagin Alliance Atlantis had created, and will be ordering the U.S. release instead.

 

[Michael Elliott]

I usually just ask for cash because I've got so many DVDs that the family usually gets me something I already have or something I really don't want. This year I made a list of wants and I was rather shocked when everything I wrote down was actually bought for me by someone.
