Doberman's DVD Collection

New stuff arrived while I was in St. L for the weekend.

Doberman's DVD Collection

Walt Disney Treasures: Silly Symphonies - The new star of my collection. The early (1930's) Silly Symphonies are, IMO, the best cartoons ever produced. 5+ hours including 39 uncut cartoons along with some behind the scenes stuff. Comes in a trick numbered limited edition tin.

Tron: Collector's Edition - Finally! Tron was an early DVD release, as expected. The computer techy story and before their time visuals of Tron were a perfect match for the bleeding edge techy type of people who bought DVD's in their infancy. Unfortunately, the first Tron release was a movie only disc. Fans of the film have been clamoring for a souped up Special Edition for years. The film has finally been done justice. There's a TON of extras here, almost all totally new for this set. "Making of" stuff, new interviews and remeniscing from the cast & producers, early art tests, etc. Awesome.

Streets of Fire - "A Rock and Roll Fable," this is a hard movie to peg. It's an 80's rock & roll sorta thingie, with a very 30's serial stylized comic book look to it. Not quite popular enough to really garner "cult" status and all the acceptance that entails, but it's along those lines. The minor 80's hit song "I Can Dream About You" is from this movie.

Good Will Hunting - Put this one off for a while, due to the $25 price and the lack of any extras. Finally decided that waiting for a Special Edition may be futile, and this is a movie I hafta own anyways.

Behind the Planet of the Apes: Special Edition - a version of this came with my boxed set of the original Planet of the Apes films, but this SE has even more cool extras than are on the other disk. DVD producers love fools like me who'll spend $20 for a disk they already have just to get a few small editions.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Complete First Season - Seasons 3 & 4 are where it's really at, but ya gotta start somewhere.  I'd have expected more in the way of extras as it's geeky fan-boys like myself who've kept BtVS on the air all these years. And we want behind the scenes extras & director's commentary. Still, it's nice to have these high quality & commercial free.

I'd Agree, I've got season 1,2,3, and eagerly await season 4. in the next few months. Aparently season 4 is in widescreen and have outakes etc. The mini docos on the season 2 , and 3 discs aren't too shabby.

Good  Will Hunting runs for around $15 around here.  I had to buy another copy since my first one developed a hard error in one of the scenes (coffee shop talking about her science equation/motzart).  Its not a movie you get for the extras anyways... its worth it just to see Robin Williams grab Matt Damon by the throat and say "I WILL END YOU!"

I'm gonna get TRON too... just haven't gotten around to it yet.  Glad you gave it such a good review.

I'd also recommend the "Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai" DVD if you don't have it yet.  It usually runs $10-15 (a great value).  I enjoyed the original... and the DVD only adds to it (additional opening seen).  Perhaps John Lithgow's most expressive performance.
