- The Rock Criterion Collection

- Terry Gilliam Flicks (Time Bandits, Brazil, Baron... and 12 Monkeys)
- Dark City
- The Crow 2disc set
- True Lies
- and more I just can't recall

Kramnick: I agree, the Fight Club 2-disc set kicks ass! It just got voted as best DVD of 2000 by the DVDTalk online community. And Brazil's one of my faves as well -- unfortunately, what I have is the plain-vanilla Universal release instead of the fully-loaded Criterion version. Oh well.

Komikero · « **Reply #6 on:** Mar 31, 2001 at 06:04 AM »

Yes! That Criterion Edition of Brazil is definitely in my to buy list. I've already seen Brazil though, the regular edition. I hope they do a Criterion treatment to Baron Munchausen as well.

I'm also getting set to buy all of Ed Wood's movies (Plan 9 from Outer Space, Bride of the Atom). I hope they hurry up and release Tim Buron's Ed Wood on DVD quick. I absolutely love this movie!

Phobos · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 31, 2001 at 07:04 AM »

I belive that Fight Club & Gladiator are two DVDs that I'm considering to add to my Wish List based on their features alone. I have to say that those two movies just fall short of my expectations and I'm still hard pressed to call them good films, however the list of features makes me want to think twice.

DVDgurl & Komikero Buy the Brazil Criterion version! You won't regret it. It's one of the titles that any self respecting movie lover must have.

Ok, my shopping list:

Frank Herbert's Dune: SE
The World According To Garp
Spartacus - Criterion (so expensive!)
Dungeons & Dungeons
Pecker and Hairspray (box)
Unbreakable
What Women Want
Woody Allen boxset 2 (maybe separately)

I finally get to grab my hands on the fight club dvd, got it for under P1,100. he said however that the package originally includes a fight club soap?? something like the first 10,000 released or something.. he said he'll look for it and give it to me when he does find it... cool huh? any comments on David Fincher's other work - SEVEN? How's the DVD version? that movie got one of the best opening title sequence..

gonz · « **Reply #11 on:** Apr 05, 2001 at 12:47 AM »

- JFK Special Edition Oliver Stone Collection (I already own the disappointing first release, but I love this movie)

Sadly, The Simpsons is not out on DVD and I've heard no plans to that effect, now or in the future. VHS lang so far. But if it ever gets to DVD, I'm there!

Actually, Fox recently ran an sort of email/online survey regarding the Simpsons. They were asking fans what features they wanted..etc.. so I guess there are plans in the near future.

flyderman · « **Reply #15 on:** Apr 12, 2001 at 09:56 PM »

I do hope Fox releases a The Simpsons Complete 1st season, etc etc, just like they did with The X-Files. That would really make me a happy man.

Phobos · « **Reply #16 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 07:10 PM »

benny · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 08:43 PM »

Phoebus-- hindi ka rin mahilig kay Hitchcock no?

(sobrang hilig lang!) Two boxsets lang naman.

Phobos · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 08:51 PM »

@ benny.

What can I say, I love the guy! I grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents on channel 9 and I followed it religiously. It was only recently that I was able to watch some of his films (Psycho, Vertigo, North By Northwest) and I was blown away. I just had to get those boxed sets for myself.

I ordered them from JHiPSTeR. Although he says that he already has the DVDs, I told him to stagger his deliveries so as not to overwhelm me with the bill.

Ha! Sinabi mo! Evrytime nagmagpunta ako ng mall, hindi ko talagang maiwasang dumaan sa Astro Vision. And when I go there, I always find something new to buy. The last time I bought something, I only had enough money in my pocket for the bus fare back home. No kidding! Ganito ba ang maging addict? Ganito ba? ha? ha?

Komikero Ganyan nga! I feel your pain man, I know exactly what you're going through. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a cure for what we have.

viper · « **Reply #21 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 09:56 PM »

I have Psycho (R3) from Astrovision and North by Northwest (R1) from Culture Club/eauctions.

I'll include Vertigo on my next buying binge together with V and new Pokemon Titles.

Any other recommended Hitchcock movies,Phoebus?

Phobos · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 10:04 PM »

I borrowed North By Northwest from DVDgurl and it rocked! Very funny!

I've also heard a lot of good things about Rear Window, that's why I'm really looking forward to my orders.

viper · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 10:16 PM »

Yes, The Rear Window, another Cary Grant starrer if I'm not mistaken. I saw portions of it in Cinemax.

Thanks.

Phobos · « **Reply #24 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 10:34 PM »

Rear Window stars James Stewart.

AMADEUS.

I rented a DVD copy in our library and I really enjoyed it ... great story of Wolfgang Petersen Amadeus, great acting, direction, cinematography, costume, production design, editing and if you have a nice home theather set-up, the music is just overwhelming. I'm waiting for a collector's item edition since the one at the library isn't. The movie is long and I had to flip the DVD after a certain time to watch the rest the movie. Other than that, y'all should check it out !!!

You're joking, right? Because the only thing Das Boot director Wolfgang Petersen shares with The Magic Flute composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is that they are both German. Please tell me you're joking.

Nope I wasn't joking. It was an honest mistake ... I was talking about Mozart. Sorry ....
