S&S Challenge: 72 ...25 DVD BEAVER
My DVD Collection
5 of my most wanted titles,(I can't make a definitive list, too many choices), are ones that I don't have on laser or DVD:
Conformist, The
Leopard, The
Gambler, The
Nightmare Alley
Modesty Blaise
(clears throat)
1. Heavenly Creatures. With at least a commentary track by Jackson/Walsh (although I understand they have their hands full with some sort of trilogy right now).
2. Once Upon a Time in the West. The only way to see this OAR, as far as I know, is to wait for it to come on Turner Classic Movies. For shame.
3. The long-promised SE of The English Patient, because the Buena-bare-bones-Vista version does not even begin to cut it.
4. Macbeth. Roman Polanski's cloudy, dirty, bloody-as-hell, kick-ass version.
5. And in the "I-know-it's-been-announced-but-I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it" category, Legend...goddamnit.
--Jefferson Morris
1. The Terminator:SE
2. Titanic: SE
3. Miami Vice: season 1
4. Miami Vice: Season 2
5. Miami Vice: season 3
6. Miami Vice: Season 4
7. Miami Vice: Season 5
