What's on your DVD? — Forum Archive

I must confess I was "inspired" to do this by Huntsy. What did you watched lately on your DVD? Here's my list:

AI (haven't yet seen it properly, but looks like a masterpiece so far...) Almodovar's Talk to her (I recommend it. Stunning!) Star Trek: The Motion Picture- Director's Cut ("Director's Cut"? Director's Cut my arse! What a rip-off! All they did was replace some of the -gorgeous- Douglas Trumbull FX from the 1979 cinematic release for some dodgy CGI! Please! Makes you wonder why the Star Trek franchise is going down the drain...) The Mummy returns (good, old-fashioned pop-corn movie. Loved it!) NewOrder 511 (great script! Shame about the dialogue...)

New Order 5 11 is all I have here worth watching...all my good ones are at home.

The last film i watched on my DVD was Usual Suspects which is quite possibly one of the best films of all time.

The film currently in my DVD player at the moment is 8mile, but i havent had time to watch it yet.

31 Mar 2003, 08:04

The most recent is 24 Hour Party People. I don't have many DVDs. Finsbury Park is on the way.

5 11 is playing right now. Should be getting 24hr party people this week.

31 Mar 2003, 08:12

Hey Donald, which video shop did you hire '8Mile' from?

K-Pax is the best film I've seen for a while. Would recommend it.

George, what's that Alan Moldovan's Talk with the Animals film all about?

:hat:

31 Mar 2003, 08:34

511 as well

24hpp before that

Prey tell who's Donald?

Im borrowing it off a mate, he gets hold of lots of new films and there not even dodgy copies! - he's getting Matrix2 in April :D

31 Mar 2003, 08:41

Does he sail the seven seas?

:hat:

31 Mar 2003, 08:46

He knows a man who does ;)

Bought and watched Reservoir Dogs on DVD this weekend - first time I've seen the film since I saw it in the cinema on its first week of release.

Have watched the complete series 1 and 2 of Spaced in the past two weeks - never watched it when it was on TV, not sure how I missed it really. Have also sat down and watched entire series of the Book Group and Happiness in recent weeks.

It's a sensible drama, i.e. a tearjerker, H., nothing you'd care about :D .

Trying to struggle through Ghandi over an extended period of days.

Gimme extras :D

whats the best set of bonus features and extras you've all seen on a DVD?

31 Mar 2003, 12:50

Perfect Storm features are pretty good - 2 commentaries, trailer, doccos etc. Chow Yun Fat/John Woo - The Killer was the last film I watched in my DVD Player v good

Did buy this disc over the weekend, as it was priced quite reasonably. Great companion piece to the Filth And The Fury documentary, this has interviews with all of the participants still alive, including Jamie Reid, Bill Price, Chris Thomas, and journalists like Jonh Ingham and Charles Young.

Also bought the US Comedy Central show Insomniac compilation as well as Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (stoopid, but I still laugh at 'em).

31 Mar 2003, 21:59

i watched the larry clark film 'bully' and 'men in black II' on sunday.

oh, and this evening i sat through a showing of 'the bee gees: one night only' with my mother (her latest purchase). :D

31 Mar 2003, 22:25

recently:

-This Is Spinal Tap. -The Simpsons: Season Two. -The Cure Greatest Hits. -24 Hour Party People. -Cut (the 2000 slasher movie starring none other than Molly Ringwald! yowza!).

Just watched Children of Paradise last night. With the current state of television, my DVD player is on when I want to watch anything. If it's something short, the Futurama first season is good relief. Alphaville and The Passion of Joan of Arc are next up on my movies to watch list.

The Fellowship of the Ring. That will be hard to match (let alone surpass) even by Two Towers or Return of the king...

Nosferatu (Dir. Werner Herzog)
The man who fell to earth (David Bowie)
The Wicker Man (highly recommended British cult horror)
