    While the title doesn't clarify it, virtually all post are about filmmusic purchases and not dvd's. I don't mind someone mentioning a filmmusic extra on a dvd they've just purchased, but that's about it. I would like to suggest to open a new thread for dvd purchases only.

    Oh yeah, this was the only one that wasn't released yet on Blu-Ray, now this error has been corrected. And if my brother can taunt me with buying Cutthroat Island, then I'm taunting him with this one. You have Die Hard 4 (the loudest), I have Die Hard 3 (the best) wink And it is DTS woohoo


    My principal reaction was. Aaaaaaaaaargghhhhhhh followed by hahaha! punk Well done bro. You've done one better than me. Does this mean we have to get parts 1 and 2 as well?

    BTW when was Cutthroat Island coming out again?


    I really do need to get an encoder that supports DTS-HD. Dolby TrueHD is fine, it can do that, but I still can't see how DTS-HD will be that much better... slant

    Anthony, I have a receiver capable of both and to me the dynamics and overall power between channels are just better in DTS-HD compared to Dolby TrueHD. I've also noticed with TrueHD I have to increase the volume to get the sound to respectable levels, but then there's always some aspect of the sound spectrum that is either too agressive or another too toned down, like the lower frequencies which are absolutely essential for the home theatre aficionado. With DTS-HD everything sounds mighty fine and I hardly have to change anything while watching a film.

    But I have to admit Transformers with TrueHD is truly a stunning room-shaking experience. cool

    Question? It looks like more money is being spent on DVD's than CD's?

    Yeah. Personally, I haven't bought a DVD in at least a year. Maybe more.
    I am extremely serious.

    For me to purchase a DVD I have to convince myself that it is one I'll watch over and over again on a somewhat regular basis.

  9. I know that I'll watch the movies on a more regular basis and the commentary tracks/making-ofs will get that a lot too. That's how I learn the craft of filmmaking.

    PREDATOR

    For first time, i bought it in DVD. Earlier, it was in VHS( several years ago ). Now, i got 50% discount on this movie. I really like this movie very much, especially score. I liked the atonal the way Alan used in the last 15 minutes, which was quite thrilling moments. I was totally amazed and thrilled in watching this movie in 5.1 sound. Great picture and sound quality. Really worth buying it. By the way, this is groundbreaking movie. biggrin

    [b]THE WATER HORSE[/b]

    I bought this DVD for 50% discount. I like this movie but it reminded me Free Willy. Anyhow, movie is good. I liked score very much. James Newton Howard's one of the best. Score really worked very well in the movie. AWESOME!

    It is a groundbreaking action film, and put the sub on full and it breaks the ground I agree. wink

    One of Arnie's very best. I remember growing up with this, aaah the memories. I wish McTiernan would return to this form of film making. What was his last good one? Die Hard 3?

    No meaning in purchasing dvd's for me, as i don't watch any movie more than once, esp. in very rare cases when i make it up to 2 or something. But still no meaning to have the dvd sitting and collecting dust for me as i never was any kind of collector, esp. a dvd collector. Only expection of the rule is musical dvd's / concerts, which i too don't own much of either.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  13. I could never watch a film only once, except if it were crap, or shows all of its goodies the first time and makes it useless to return to it. I think many great films can be re-watched over and over. I can always enjoy a good film no matter how many times I see it.

    So my collection is quite extensive but hardly massive.

    I know; i am personally bored if i sit through a movie twice, since i know what i am going to see; yes, there are films which have details that escape one's attention the first time, but these are way limited in numbers, imo, they wouldn't really make more than 50. Stuff like 2001 and such, is what i mean. The rest, i like to take what they have to offer to me from the first viewing, which is usually more than enough for me smile

    A good point. I watch certain films over and over again, when buying DVD's I always try to consider the worth of having it, as in how many times I'll possibly watch it, I never buy them brand new on release either, I wait months until they become bargain priced.

    I''ve never been much of a collector. I usually buy films I haven't seen before. If I don't like a film I either trade it with someone else or give it away. My collection counts 171 films, of which I haven't seen 54 films yet and still would like to trade about 30 titles. I like to keep my collection 'alive'.

    My latest purchase:

    Hak Se Wui Yi Wo Wai Kwai (Election 2) - I haven't even seen the first film by Johnny To.

    Wrong. But not to worry; a friend of mine has part one.

    I've made the same 'mistake' with a South-Korean film trilogy. Two of them were on sale for 2.50 euros each, and the middle part of the trilogy wasn't.

    FREQUENCY

    I like this sci-fi thriller. Nice imagination and good story telling. Moreover, score by Michael Kamen is great.


    THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES

    I like this movie very much. Its a very good family entertainment. I like James Horner score for this movie.

    MINORITY REPORT

    At last, i have purchased this in DVD format. I was waiting for long time to get this DVD in discount offer. Now, i got the opportunity. Its really wonderful. This is one of my favorite Spielberg films. This is really excellent sci-fi thriller i have ever seen. Most importantly, Tom Cruise have displayed his acting skills superbly. If i he would have won the Oscar for best actor, it would have been no surprises for me. Score is equally good, it really suits the movie very well. Overall, i feel great and i really think it will be one of my greatest DVD collection.

    NUMBER ONES

    This is yet another MJ DVD music video album. This is really good collection, music video from his various albums. I am very glad to have this DVD.

    Isn't Number Ones just a repeat of the best music videos from History on Film I and II? Meaning it's obsolete if you already have those two?

    Rosemary's Baby

    I've of course seen the movies before, so it is definitely a good addition to a collection I am already proud of smile

    Maybe, but previously, there was no video albums like Man in the Mirror and You rock my world. I like You rock my world very much (featuring Chris Tucker and Marlon Brando), in fact, i was searching for this video for long time. I think its really worth buying this DVD.

    A great trilogy. Star Trek IV has so much heart and loads of fun in places!!

    Having all ten in my collection I once thought about buying the blu-rays of the first six. But the DVD remasters are already so brilliant in the audio / visual department so I held off.
