That's it, I suck.

[Boondock Saint]

alrighty, let's try out what i've picked up in the past three weeks:

hulk, wayne's world 1&2, the west wing - season one, sympathy for the devil, who framed roger rabbit, american wedding, two towers extended edition, house on haunted hill...and i'm probably leaving out some, but whatever...

i own tons more than that, because i love movies more than anything else.

[Jaga]

heres some of the DVDs I just got:

Pokemon4Ever
2 Fast 2 Furious
Freddy vs Jason
Matrix Reloaded
Matrix
Xmen
XMen 2
Freaky Friday
Finding Nemo
Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets
Haunted Mansion

[Boondock Saint]

i have a question...

how do you own haunted mansion on dvd when it's still out in theatres, and freddy vs. jason doesn't come out until this tuesday?

[Messiah]

Yeah thats what i thought when i saw Freddyvs Jason too

[Eddz]

Animatrix..


That's all. I just download movies. My brother is a DVD freak and has about 500 of the little critters.

[Steve-AMN]

I have a couple hundred DVD's but I have a friend...her name is Civon and her parents own a DVD collection that is so big, that they actually had to type up a mini book containing 75 titles per page and I think it was 13 pages long. Thier collection also takes up a few rooms of the house.

Now they do have repeat movies (like whenever they came out with another version) and multiple regions for about 10% of thier numbers...but that is freakin huge!!

It took Civon and I about an hour to figure out a movie to watch haha.

[Monkeylord]

lol... it always takes me over an hour, and I have to keep an excel spreadsheet of what I have. That way I can filter the genre's when I'm in the mood for a particular type of film, and I also keep my friends names listed next to any films I lend out. That way I know who has what and never lose them. I'd probably have more if I didn't keep lending them out and forgetting who had what!

[Cooolcorey]

I have mostly anime ones.

Akira special edition
Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Trigun
Ghost in the Shell

And just today I got the Linkin Park Live in Texas DVD

[Hyrulian Hybrid]

mine is like all anime! lolz umm lemme c
akira
princess monoke
evangelion
kenshin
ghost in a shell
spirited away
ah my goddess
love hina

[Fresnokila]

Ok...now add to my list

Patlabor1 :The Movie...
Ninja Scroll....
Berserk vol.1

[Boondock Saint]

you know what i just realized? jaga never answered how he owned freddy vs. jason days before it came out, and how he already has haunted mansion on dvd when it's (even now, a few weeks later) still in theaters...

something tells me he was probably lying to us.

[Steve-AMN]

I know a few people that own movies before they have come out to theaters or to rent/buy. It all has to do with crappy copies made either in theaters or other ways.

As an example. A friend of mine had a copy of X2 before it came out to movie theaters...I didn't want to watch it because I would rather see it in quality and contriubte to the film's success. After the movie we went to his house and I checked it out. It was deffinatly real but the quality was really crappy both sound and visually. He doesn't know how it was made before the movie...he just knows where he can get them.

[David85]

My moms friend buys illegals copies. They aren't bad. I'll stick to my legal BJ copies. :D

[Monkeylord]

Here's my most up to date list... just over 400 discs now (not including the bonus discs from 2-disc special editions). I've almost filled up 2 240disc carry cases - much better than keeping them in the cases they come in cos they get knackered quickly (especially the cardboard ones!). I usually file them in a carry case and stick the case in a storage box.

[Fresnokila]

Now add these to my list....

End of Days and Road to Perdition...
Saw them cheap and since I loved them got them.....

[Monkeylord]

Just added:

Slipknot - Disasterpieces (about time I got this seeing how I'm in the crowd somewhere!)
The Blues Brothers (Classic!!!)
Trading Places (another classic!)
LXG
Daredevil (gave my 1st copy to a mate, so needed to replace it)
Underworld
Ranma 1/2 OAV Boxset
Ranma 1/2: The Movie 2 - Nihao My Concubine

[Monkeylord]

Just added:

Ricky Gervais Live - Animals
Al Murray - The Pub Landlord: My Gaff My Rules
Bo Selecta - Complete Series 2

--~

[Xtreme CHRI$$]

HOLY $HIT MONKEY!!!!!! That's a LOT of dvds mate...got some good ones there.... all the Austin Powers, Monty Python, all the family guy and Futurama dvds, a whole lot of Adam Sandler dvds...you lucky bastard.....--~

[Monkeylord]

It ain't luck CHRI$$... it's skill.

My collection kick's "arris". It truly "Salford Docks"

--~

[Boondock Saint]

it's also not skill...if i had a job, i'd have a ****load more dvds than i do. and i already have a ******* lot...i started to make a list once, but just got bored with it...oh well, someday, perhaps...

[Monkeylord]

I was merely jesting... everyone knows it takes no real skill to hand over money --~

I only keep a list cos my friends treat me as a free DVD Rental service (I actually don't mind). keeping a list is an easy way of letting them know what I have and I can also mark down who has what and when they borrowed it (I've lost many a DVD and VHS because I've forgotten who has what). It's also handy for deciding what to watch as I keep the REAL list on an excel spreadsheet and have enabled filters so I can list only certain genre's depending on what mood I'm in. Makes it so much easier to choose what to watch.

Oh yeah, CHRI$$ - I checked my most recent list, I was right originally - 417 --~

[prime_timer]

ive got a fairly shoddy DVD collection.... theyre mostly my dad's movies but i picked a couple up also. ive only got about 13 DVD's, and we havent watched them in a while.... there are some still in the shrink wrap i think....

[Monkeylord]

13 isn't as meager as you may think... especially if they're kick-arse titles!

[Messiah]

I've only got a few but i want to get heaps more. *Litty Nicky Voice* DVD players are F**cken awesome!!

[Monkeylord]

Just added 6 more:

Airheads

[Serj]

A) I have the first on VHS ;)
B) My Little Eye is a horror film which involves a group of people moving into a mansion playing a reality TV show. They're whole experience is filmed, but it is a setup...and they die

[Monkeylord]

Here ya go McB...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280969/

[Serj]

Thanks Monkey. And as you can see, it's a pretty lame film!

[Monkeylord]

It was ok... some of the deaths were pretty well done :D

*EDIT*

Seeing how this is the right place really I'm posting my "Wall O' DVD" pic here too (also in "Pics and Stuff" thread).

http://www.theoriginalmonkeylord.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/110.jpg

[Serj]

*Gasps* That's the most incredible thing I've ever seen *Gasps*

[Monkeylord]

[Messiah]

Holy S*it monkeylord, you've got alot. I've only got a few at the moment but i want to build my collection up. Heres what i have

Freddy vs. Jason
Pirates of the Caribbean- Collectors Edition
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- The Original
The Crow
Predator- Special Edition
Conan the Barbarian-Special Edition
Commando
The Battle for Mexico City-Rage Against the Machine

I want to get 28 Days Later next. Mmmmm

[Monkeylord]

Added another 4...

Star Trek: Nemesis
About Schmidt
Old School Unseen
Equilibrium

--~

[Boondock Saint]

old school unseen...does that mean 'uncut'?

i have both star trek: nemesis and about schmidt.

they are good movies.

i haven't seen equilibrium yet. that's the one with christian bale, right? is it any good?

[Monkeylord]

Originally posted by Boondock Saint

Yeah, for some reason it say's "Unseen" instead of "Uncut" on the case, but you get the idea.

Originally posted by Boondock Saint

It's quite good, yeah. The fight scenes are awesome, but it did take me a while to get into it as the pacing's a bit odd.

[Serj]

You got Old School! That films ******* amazing! One of the funnies films I've ever seen, it's got the greatest quotes in it ever

[Messiah]

I havent seen it yet. Is there a scence where someone runs through a party naked shouting "Party!!" cause someone dared one of mates to do it at a party and they said it was from this movie. He did it too....haha

[Serj]

Yeah that's right. Though he actually shouts "We're streaking" instead of "Party". That's a great scene. Will Ferrell is the one doing the streaking. You should definetely see this movie dude

[Messiah]

Yeah i'll get it out next time i'm at the video store. Will Farrell is one funny dude i must admit

[Monkeylord]

Just added:

Black Books: Limited edition - Series 1&2 boxset
Masters Of The Universe (classic crud!!!)
Piranha (more classic cheese!)

I love the bad stuff almost as much as the good... so bad it's good :D

[Messiah]

Piranha, thats a horror movie right. I heard its spose to be pretty conrny but entertaining, to say the least, my kinda movie :D

[Monkeylord]

It was 2 for £10 and I wanted Masters of the Universe (god only knows why!).

Yeah, it is a VERY corny horror. Directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins) it was designed to ride on Jaws' success. It's watchable, but only cos it's so cheap and bad. I love terrible films as much as I like good ones!

[Messiah]

Yeah i know what you mean. John Sayles the script writer also wrote other monster movies, one being "Alligator", seems to be vein as Piranha, and just as cheesy. Genetically altered beasts wreaking havok.

[Fresnokila]

Well....add:
Samurai X: OVA Collection
Orphen vol1
and Versus to my list....

[Monkeylord]

I can now also add:

The Transformers: Series 2 part 1

The Kentucky Fried Movie
Liar Liar
Dumb and Dumberer
Tron: Special Edition
Spirited Away: Special Edition

The Crow
Predator- Special Edition

28 Days later
Cabin Fever
Terminator 2- The Ultimate Edition

I might be getting some more tommorow, i was thinking Dog Soldiers, Wrong Turn and An American Werewolf in London. Man i love horror movies

[Monkeylord]

Dog Soldiers isn't a horror (unless you count the fact that it's TERRIBLE!). Saw Wrong Turn a few weeks ago and thought it was "meh" (ie: not neccessarily bad, but not good either). American Werewolf in London is SUPERB and the 20th anniversary 2 disc set is incredibly good value. Definately pick that one up!

[Messiah]

You did'nt like Dog Soldiers? dude why not, i thought it was agreat movie

[Monkeylord]

Dire acting, terrible plot, poor script (or maybe they were adlibing - the jury's still out on that one) and the werewolves were basically big (poorly constructed) Muppet rip-offs.

I laughed through most of it as it was the only way I could cope!

[Messiah]

Oh ok, i did'nt think it was that bad but i spose its your opinion. Know of any other good horror films. Evil Dead, Holloween, Friday the 13th man the horror genre rules

[Monkeylord]

You'd LOVE "Cradle Of Fear" (low budget, but very good - fairly sick, gory and disturbing). I shall have to think further as to be honest there hasn't been many decent horror films of late.

[Messiah]

Yeah warranted. Did you like Cabin Fever? Old school horror recreated. Man Eli Roth is a funny guy too :D

[Monkeylord]

Still haven't seen cabin fever, but probably will sometime soon.

Just added:

Kill Bill - Vol.1
Streetfighter II: The Animated Movie
Spaced: Complete Series 2

[Fresnokila]

Just got me Kill Bill vol1.......too!!!

[Monkeylord]

I'm just waiting till after this Nintendo programme is finished so I can watch it. From what I've seen and heard KB's gonna be a BLAST!

Gotta record and email this programme 1st though (wanna watch it too).

[Messiah]

I got Dumb and Dumber and Reservoir Dogs today. Have yet to watch RD though

[Monkeylord]

Adding:

Matrix Reloaded
The Transformers: Takara

(Hey, they were cheap!!!)

[Messiah]

Man Reservoir Dogs rules, that torture scene with Mr Blonde has scorched itself into my memory forever. Talk about a powerful movie :D

[Serj]

Just added the following to my collection:

Donnie Darko (Awesome movie HUGE recommendation)
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Kung Pow

[MAX]

Donnie Darko was GREAT!!!

[Messiah]

yeah and Kung pow is equally bad.

I did laugh a few times i must admit.

"Take a look around cause i rule baby"

"And who exactly do you rule? The large dark nipple people?"

I gotta admit i laughed there, and the bit where he told them to hit him with sticks and not to stop. They are the only good bits IMO

[Monkeylord]

I loved Kung-Pow... it appeals to my mentality. I can't wait for the sequel!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0339271/

[Serj]

I thought it was immense. The voice-overs are brilliant.

[Messiah]

To tryhardish for me, it was a good concept that ultimately did'nt work. Dont get me wrong i like mindless comedy as much as the next guy but this movie never really took off for me. I was really looking foward to it and after i finished watching it i was a quite disapointed. The chick with one boob, the cow ninja, the baby fight, i never laughed at any of those bits which is suprising cause i usually laugh at "dumb" moments.

[Serj]

I too never laughed at the cow or the one-boobed lady. I laughed continously as the baby though, I thought that was genuis. The film was so stupid that it never tried to hide moments where graphics had been used. I agree that it was tryhardish, but I only felt that this showed sometimes, with the rest of the movie being very entertaining

[Messiah]

Yeah, i see what your saying serj ;)

Anyway i ordered in a copy of John Carpenter's The Thing which should be good, still has'nt come in though and i ordered it over 2 weeks ago :(

[crazybone12002]

I have a pretty good collection of DVDs nothin special. My movies range from old kung-fu films to some dramas. Here's a list of some of the movies I know I have:

Training Day, Snatch, All the Matrix movies except the Animatrix, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Black Hawk Down, Drunken Master(only Jackie Chan movie I have), Iron Monkey, The Princess Blade, Time and Tide, 007: Die Another Day, Finding Nemo, Ice Age, Spider-Man, Street Fighter Alpha The Animated Movie, Princess Mononoke, Akira, Black Mask, 8 Mile, Old School. I have more movies but at the moment that's all I can think of. Anyways I'm about to buy all the George Romero Zombie movies: Night of the Living Dead, Dawn and Day of the Dead. All awesome movies.

[Serj]

Day of the Dead is a truly awesome movie, you should get that first. I really enjoyed it and I hope to get the other two next because I was so impressed.

[Messiah]

I looked for the Dawn and the Day dead movies but i cant find them anywhere:(

I got a call from the store the other day and the DVD's arrived, Horray for that :D

I also watched a movie the other day called Once Were Warriors and i have to say it deeply moved me. If you want to see a really powerfully made film check it out :)

[Monkeylord]

Originally posted by Messiah

best I've found for ya would be getting them online from www.dvdboxoffice.com as they do free worldwide delivery, and have them all seperate. The boxset I got ain't that great. It's 4 discs comprising of the following:

Night of the Living Dead - 30th Anniversary Edition (dodgy new score and new pointless scenes that slow the movie down).

Dawn of the Dead: Directors Cut (cut being the operative word as there are several scenes missing, including the exploding head, zombie cannibalism and the shooting of the zombie kids).

Day of the Dead - great film, TERRIBLE picture quality though.

Document of the Dead - 2 documentaries, one on "Night" and one on "Dawn" plus a photo gallery. So-so really... not that great, but better than nothing.

You're better off getting them seperately, and DVDboxoffice does free worldwide shipping - I didn't find anywhere else that shipped to Aus (although I only really spent 5mins looking - I am at work afterall!).

Hope that helps - don't be shocked by the prices as they appear in CANADIAN dollars (which makes everything look expensive if you're not used to the exchange rates). You can change the displayed currency using their tools menu.

[Messiah]

I dont really like buying over the net and i have no credit card so i basically limited to what the local stores can order in. Thanks for looking though :D

[Serj]

When I order from the net, I always stick with Amazon. They have just about ANYTHING that I want, and usually have online discounts.

@Messiah: Is Cabin Fever any good?

[Messiah]

Its pretty good, dont expect anything stellar but you know, its alright. You either love it or hate it so give it a rent first. Its kind of a horror/comedy hybrid and dosen't take itself too seriously, so if you like that kind of thing, by all means get it ;)

[Fresnokila]

Add Family Guy vol2 to my collection!!

[Monkeylord]
