| Video Likes | Theatrical aspect ratios on DVD. Smooth film-like pictures free of grain and film-artefacts. Levels of realism that make you set back and say "WOW". |
| Video Dislikes | Grain, pan and scanned presentations, aliasing, film artefacts. One of my pet hates is cropped movies that butcher the directors intended viewing area. |
| Audio Likes | Clean highs and strong, sharp, bass. Distortion free soundtracks that make use of the surrounds well and provide an immersive experience. |
| Audio Dislikes | Overly low, and loud, rumbly bass that draws attention to itself. Poorly used surrounds that destroy imaging. Distortion and pops in audio, they drive me nuts and I seem to be able to hear even the most miniscule problems. |
| Favourite DVDs | See below :) |
| Least Favourite DVDs | Having watched it just recently - Clerks in R4. I don't really have any other DVDs that I dislike because I just don't buy them. |
| Most Eagerly Awaited DVDs | Star Wars, Indiana Jones and BTF Trilogies. Lord of the Rings in R4. |
| Titanic | Saw this twice at the cinemas and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mind you when I was a kid I must have read every book about the Titanic that I could find. Shame about the DVD. |
| The Matrix | Saw this theatrically, amazing special effects and a great storyline to boot. Bought the DVD and was even more impressed - great home theatre demonstration material. |
| Terminator 2 | An all time great. The R1 Ultimate Edition is a sublime DVD experience that cannot be missed. Can't wait for T3 to come out |
| Star Wars | The adventure story that defines them all. I have seen these so many times and can't wait for the DVD release. If it ever happens. |
| Godzilla | Meh. |
| Independence Day | Good fun but would not waste money buying the DVD. |

Aliens: Special Edition (1 disc) (1986) One of my favourite movies of all time accompanied with a very good transfer |  3. The Matrix (1999) What else can you say? Excellent movie with one of the best transfers. |  4. The Terminator: Special Edition/Gold Edition (1984) Big Arnie - remastered and cleaned up. I have watched this far too many times. |  5.
