What Was the Last DVD You Bought/Rented?

[mixed]

Yeah it does! What a glorious poster

[Clark Nova]

just got these for hanukkah:









haven't seen the 39 steps yet, but i'm sure it's good...needless to say, i'm frothing at the mouth.

[criterionmaster]

Amazing, just amazing! That boxset should set you back a month of watching, it is probably top 5 DVD's I own. So many great films featured in there. And 39 Steps is so much fun, and that Criterion release is very nice. Enjoy.

(another dvd of the film, though. Didn't find a picture)

(The Tin Drum (didn't find a better pcture, but this is how the dvd looks like)



(Yet again, I have a different dvd version, a norwegian one)







(Yet again, another dvd version)

(not the criterion version, though. )

And the best part, maybe: I've only seen Bande à part and Shogun Assassin out of all these.

[Nomansvally]

I love The Passanger, The Tin Drum, La Dolce Vita, Band A Parte and I got Såsom I en spegel waiting for me on the DVDself. You have plenty to look forward to!

[kiddo]

Oh yeah. This is going to be a great christmas, with alot of movie watching. ;D

[criterionmaster]

I seriously almost lost that master of your domain contest just by buying this:



I will take some pictures of the set for the simpsons thread later.

[dontdigonswine]

Little Miss Sunshine... and I just got done watching it again. I'm pretty sure I'm a better person after every time I watch it.

I apologize to everyone in advance for this post.

Why? Because I am about to thoroughly beat this thread... in the video game sense. As in, getting to the last boss and then just kicking ass and taking names. So, I mean, you can still keep this thread going if you want to, but what's the point? How will you top this post?

(Bolded ones are unexpected, but somehow amazing, finds of pure victory. Prepare yourself for a boner.)

Now as I implied earlier, you might not be completely satisified with every item on this list. But you must admit: holyshitload of Criterions. That directly means I'm going to be away from this forum for a while, until I can get through all of these movies. Hiatus time.
Be back later.

Don't Look Now - Special Edition [1973]

Bought for only £6.99 at Play.com. I just had to have it, it's one of my top 20 favorite films given the SP treatment.



...and while I was at it, I got myself The Last Waltz [1978] by Scorsese.
The Band plays great music. ;D

[criterionmaster]

Rented:

Cannibal Holocaust

[blackmoses]

You lucky bastard!!!!!

[Clark Nova]

today was the last day for that Borders 40% off any box set coupon (meaning any 2-disc set), so I took advantage.

[criterionmaster]

Borrowed a bootleg copy of Monster Humanoids from the Deep off of Blackmoses.





Also he left Equinox here as well.

[kiddo]

;D

I got some money for christmas, so I ordered these (haven't seen any of them):

[criterionmaster]

Bought:



Can't wait to re-live the experience.

[criterionmaster]

Rented:

Spirit of the Beehive

[slapshot63]

007 Ultimate Edition Volume 3
The Black Dahlia
The Descent (Unrated)
The Eagles Farewell I Tour
Escape From New York
Feast
Jackass Number Two
Oldboy 3-Disc Tin Set
Slither
Hellraiser

[Clark Nova]

Oldboy =

and Escape From New York is unbelievably cheesy and outdated...and therefore an incredibly fun watch

[kiddo]

Yeah. Escape from New York is so much fun, an it has this incredibly appetiting charm. I guess nostalgia also has something to say here... And Kurt Russel is just so damn... cool. Too macho, yes, but it fucking works!

[blackmoses]

[criterionmaster]

Bought:



Going to give it a second go with Linklater commentary.









Borrowed:

Mon Oncle
Eraserhead
Ghost World

don't forget Lee Van Cleef. I mean, by then he was up there in years and Commissioner Hauk couldn't hold a candle to Angel Eyes in terms of badass-ness, but still badass.

Nice picks Beef, I want to see black dahlia, has some faults but its apparently quite good. Brother isn't bad, not the best Kitano but watchable. I loved spring, summer..
Its a gorgeous film, stunning visuals, wise and wonderful message and great silence.

I spent a fair bit on dvds today, heres what I picked up:
Family Guy season 3
Family Guy season 5 (actually the second half of season 4, a marketing scam!)
Killers Kiss (early Kubrick seems intriguing)
Buffalo 66
The Wild Bunch
Dog Day Afternoon
True Romance, love this, very fun and cool.

My buy of the day!....


I got this for just £15. Total bargain, I'm very pleased!

Dead Man (1995)

I saw one third of this film one late night on TV when I was twelve or something, some images are still stuck in my head. Now, i've finally purchased the dvd.

[slapshot63]

Today I went out and bought James Bond Ultimate Edition Volume 4
