Merged Thread: Okay, So what DVDs did you all get for X-Mas ? (1 Viewer)

[Brook K]

Singin' In The Rain SE
Hard Day's Night
Y Tu Mama Tambien (R2)
Summer With Monika (R2)
Also my Mom got me Unforgiven, but instead of the SE she got me the old version, so I'll just take it back and exchange it for something.
Of course my wife gave me the best present when she said "Go ahead and buy a big TV"!

I didn't get any new DVDs but I did get a new portable DVD player.... An Apple Macintosh Titanium Powerbook (TiBook). 667mhz G4, 512MB, 30 gig HD and combo drive (DVD player and CD-R/W writer).
The big 15.1" 16:10 screen makes for some VERY nice portable DVD viewing!

[Andrew_Sch]

Me too Andrew! My birthday is January 2nd. When is yours?

So's mine!! You would think that with 365 days in the year, it would be harder to find someone with the same birthday, but I read somewhere that in a room with somewhere around 30 people, there's an extremely good chance at least two of them will have a common birthday.

 

[James L White]

Rambo SE trilogy-yeah I asked for it

Where the Red Fern Grows I & II- no I did NOT ask for these
plus I got $185 I might run to the store and buy some more.

 

[Chad A Wright]

Back to the Future
LOTR: EE
Austin Power in Goldmember
Ice Age
The Complete Goofy
Mickey Mouse in Black and White
Sport Night

 

[Jay Taylor]

Johnny Carson, The Ultimate Collection, Volume 1-3

I wasn't going to buy this set due to it's cost. It was a nice surprise to receive it as a Christmas gift.

Correct you are Andrew. A very simple exercise in probability.

 

[GaryEA]

Kino's German Horror Classics box set
Band of Brothers
Dr. Mabuse The Gambler
Real Genius
A.I.
MASH Season Two
Better Off Dead
plus a combo of cash and gift certificates so more will be added... like a bookcase to hold the overflow of my collection.
But, oh man, I'm going away for the weekend, starting tonight. I won't get to dive in to my new goodies until I get back (though I watched some of BoB yesterday).
It's like Ralphie getting his BB gun but is told he can't try it until days later.
