How big is your DVD collection?

[kryt]

Got fook all :| Perhaps getting a large TV will help me play them more :

Jurassic Park 3 (only bought because it had the trailer for the Back to the Future trilogy box set DVD on it)
Back to the Future Trilogy Box Set. ( )
The Complete BlackAdder Box Set
Blackadder goes Back and Forth
Mike Basset England Manager (was only a fiver)
Star Wars episode 1 (tsk)
True Lies (I like most Arny films, there are worse out there)
Deep Blue See (quite fond of the sassy blonde, until she's eaten.)
Bottom : Guest House Paradiso (Bottom owns you.)
The Naked Gun (Fantastic, still laugh EVERY time )

That's it :| Poxy collection, but enough to last me for a year of repetetetetetetive viewing.

Original was better.

 

[old.ignus]

not seen the whole thing all the way through and the JC version was on offer.

Heres a point I want to make

Commentary
Someone earlier asked me how the se7en DVD was, the commentary is the worst I've ever heard. I hate it when these so called "serious" actors try to talk about the methods of acting and how they personally got to be in the film, in this case Morgan Freeman bored me stupid, especially during the sloth case which I thought would have been funny if Brad Pitt or David Fincher had talked about the scene instead of Morgan Freeman talking about his childhood acting experiences. Kiss of the Dragon wasn't that fantasic that way either. Best so far was the blair witch project which was funny, evil dead, and the thing.

Nah, this was about his finest work, and definetly better than the b&w origional

The original had atmosphere, while the JC version was dull.

I've missed most of this thread. I've personally got over 300 videos and was a little adverse to buying a DVD player. Now my DVD collection is slowly eating away my video collection as I sell them to buy more DVDs.

My favorite DVDs I have, have got to be :-

Aliens box set.
The Star Trek : TNG Series sets.
Rocky Horror Picture Show (For the aduience participation bits).
Batman : The orginal movie. (For the fucking class commentary by Adam West and Burt Ward)
The Abyss
Akira
Dark Star

and finally, my entire collection of Danger Mouse episodes.

Oh and from November onwards you can add the Red Dwarf series and the Babylon 5 series to that list.

 

[Embattle]

It just expanded rapidly as I've just come back from the US.

 

[FuZor]

48 DVD's

The Region 4 has been out for a over a month mate.

try: www.cd-wow.com - they have it for £17.99 deilivered


IMHO the R4 version pisses on the R1 you have pre-ordered from Play cos of the DTS soundtrack. At £18 you can't go wrong.

ah right! cheers ono mate, i've preorder the R2 one tho - as i use me Xbox/PS2 as a dvd player.. i have surround sound setup so things sound pretty good currently thru the machines anyway to not yet warranty me to go out and get a proper DVD player...

some one hand me a shovel, this diggin out of this hole is ard!

i understand a proper dvd player would blow me away with the sound yeah?

All you seem to do is say "That's shit", was just wondering.

Yes, get a decent setup with a DTS decoder and you're sorted. Even better if you've got a good telly.

Because I like to show off, I've got a 32" Sony Triniton 100hz TV and a DAV-S300 DVD/AV system with 5 point surround sound and a nice meaty sub. LOTR sounds fucking superb on it, as does the Muse DVD I own. Be warned though, afaik not all DVD's have DTS mixes on - thought newer releases seem to - so not all DVD's will sound like you're in the cinema, or whatever.

The DAV-S300 retails for around £450, but due to a nice pricing error on Argos' behalf and the place I work price-matching with Argos as it is only next door, I got it for £169.99 with staff discount. The cheap, crappy model I bought earlier in the year cost me £40 less

Sorry, I like to show off

Ditto that, but I liked S4 quite a lot too. S5 and 1 sucked though.

That said both those seasons are still far better than most seasons of any Trek series you care to name.




And yes, I do like Trek too

 

[Sar]

I think I may have just cum in me keks.

Well, most have dolby digital 5.1, so they will sound pretty bloody good. It's just dts is a much better surround system. Double (or more) bitrate afaik.
