Ok, I'm going to say it, the DVD Release I was most impressed with this year was:
Jonah, a VeggieTales Movie.
Two discs crammed with extras, behind the scenes, commentaries, studio walk throughs, tests, and a real walk of the filmmaking process. While other movies from Disney offered two disc sets with the film on both discs, and just more extras on disc #2, "Jonah" offered a crammed packed second disc full of almost every feature imaginable, and provided incredible insight into what went on in producing the movie, difficulties, and results. It was eye opening to see them discuss everything from fundraising to implementation. Kudos to "Big Idea" for a $14 DVD that had it all.
Others that would round out my Top 5 (in no particular order)
Finding Nemo - not as many extras as I wanted, but incredible none the less.
Alien Quadrilogy - excellent workmanship, fine box, and a great look at the flicks
Casablanca, collectors Ed. Incredible look, well restored, and still a great flick
Indiana Jones Box Set - how long had I waited for this box set!
It was a good year!
So, anyone else have top fives, or releases that surprised you that you enjoyed them as much as you did.. or were impressed not just with the film but with the overall DVD content?
