What DVDs make you salivate?

What DVDs, when you see them in the store but can't afford them, make you salivate? Are they chock-full of special features? Or are they just movies you love that you hadn't been able to find on that format before?

For me, the DVD set that makes me salivate is Brazil: Criterion Collection I haven't had much experience with Terry Gilliam's other films, but I love Brazil. The special edition costs something like $50, and the only place I can find it is online, the one-disc "regular" edition is the only one in stores. Oh man, one of these days...:evil4:

Anyway, what's your "dream" DVD? :confused:

Last year it was Trading Places (Acroyd,Murphy,JL Curtis) which I have always had a soft spot for. It was only available on import and had it shipped over from Canada. Not long after I had recieved it, it was released over here.:eek:

I'm waiting with baited breath for the forthcoming Alien Quadrology (if there is such a word).

Right now, it's the Cure Trilogy DVD. I'm literally holding it in my hands and salivating.

Yes, I was doing some of that when I watched part of it this afternoon.

The Criterion edition of Rushmore is one I would love to get. A friend just let me borrow the Nightmare on Elm Street series boxed set, so I've been working my way through the few I haven't seen yet (plus a few I'd like to see again).

Quite a few of them, actually.

I really wish for the Ultimate James Bond package to come out. Right now, there's only a selection of various movies available in a boxset (not all of them).

I wish I could put my hand on all the X-Files boxsets, but it would cost about 2000 bucks??????????... I wish, oh my!!..., that I would buy the Transformers boxsets (season 1 and 2) to remember my childhood, but they're a bit expensive too (75$ CAN each).

And there are all of those classic movies I wish to buy eventually...

Any porn DVD I guess? :evil4:

I've always wondered how is a DVD with multiple angles, it seems the porn is the only one who has that feature...!

Again, porn is leading the technology.. go figure.

I must be the only person in the Western world who does not have a DVD player yet - but when I do, Alien will be nr 1 and then probably LOTR. As for Brazil - always been in my top 5 movies:

                                  INTERVIEWER
		Deputy minister, what do you believe
		is behind this recent increase in
		terrorist bombings?

				  HELPMANN
		Bad sportsmanship. A ruthless
		minority of people seems to have
		forgotten certain good old fashioned
		virtues. They just can't stand seeing
		the other fellow win. If these people
		would just play the game, instead of
		standing on the touch line heckling -

				 INTERVIEWER
		In fact, killing people -

				  HELPMANN
		- In fact, killing people - they'd
		get a lot more out of life.

                                     INTERVIEWER
		Do you think that the government is
		winning the battle against
		terrorists?

				  HELPMANN
		On yes. Our morale is much higher
		than theirs, we're fielding all their
		strokes, running a lot of them out,
		and pretty consistently knocking them
		for six. I'd say they're nearly out
		of the game.

				 INTERVIEWER
		But the bombing campaign is now in
		its thirteenth year ...

				  HELPMANN
		Beginner's luck.

Waiting patiently for the Duckman series that used to be on USA, and later Comedy Central, with Jason Alexander as the title character who is seemingly always at his wits end with his amusing family.

Also, at some point, the X-Files sets, the second season of Twin Peaks, some Northern Exposure, etc...........

The second season of Twin Peaks?! Well, up till they solve the murder is good, but after that it just turns to shit (except the final episode is good, since Lynch directed it). So I guess that would make for half of a good boxed set.

What DVDs make me salivate? Hmmm, the classics..."The Bells of St. Marys," "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Bell, Book, and Candle."

All I want is what any sane person wants: a DVD of the 1983 U.S. cinema classic "Get Crazy." Hell, even a VHS copy would be a slice of heaven.

I'd also love the complete "Young Ones" on DVD, but I haven't been able to overcome the guilt and spend the money.

Dead on about Twin Peaks Season 2; I'd rather they not release it, so we could all just go on pretending it never happened. Thank god they cancelled it. Suck suck suck suck suck suck suck.

Ooo, ooo, and I want UPN's "Home Movies" on DVD. I loved that show beyond any reasonable explanation.

Thinking about it, the DVD of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust does indeed make me salivate. I saw it a few days ago, and it cost too much money. I do have the movie downloaded from Kazaa, but it's definetly not the same as watching it full screen from a DVD.

Duckman is my second favorite cartoon, just behind the Critic. Everybody should at least see one offensive episode of this crazy cartoon.

You know, I decided "What the hell? I got some extra cash, let's go ahead and get the Brazil: Special Edition!" :thumb:

So I ordered it, and now I gotta go get a money order for about $57.00. It's pricey but it's good!
