| Most Eagerly Awaited DVDs | Lost Season 2, Superman Returns, Superman 1 & 2 re-release, Kill Bill box set, Sin City Special Edition |
| Titanic | I haven't seen this on DVD yet. I thought the movie was ok, but I have never understood all the attention it got. |
| The Matrix | The disc that made me fall in love with DVD. The scene where they escape in the helicopter and then Neo saves Trinity as it crashes is the chapter I still show people to show off my projector and surround set up. Great film, shame about the sequels. |
| Terminator 2 | I loved this movie when I first saw it. Then I went thru an anti- Arnie stage and disavowed it. I own the DVD and still enjoy it everytime I see it. Classic. |
| Star Wars | Star Wars Original Trilogy set: I was amazed at how good they could make almost 30 yr old film look. The movie length documentary was great. The actual box was cheap, crappy cardboard though, I have bought TV box sets with better packaging. I thought that was outrageous. There was the feeling that some of the effects clean up was rushed though ( ie Luke's light sabre on the Millenium Falcon.) |
| Godzilla | Hated the movie.... can't remember much about the DVD. |
| Independence Day | Although I enjoyed this at the movies, I cannot recall seeing it since. I should rent the DVD sometime. I have a feeling it has dated pretty quickly though. |
