Amelié?  Haven't heard of it.. what's it about?  And I don't understand the "and so will teh w1f3" part.

As for 2001... I have to say I found it too boring to put high on the list of priorities.  I'll add it someday.. but I have to stumble across it at a decent price first.

Is this a typo, or am I missing them in the list?

The Cable Guy
Kalifornia
The King of Comedy
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Pantera: 3 Vulgar Videos from Hell
Rush: Chronicals Video Collection
Das Boot

At least you have Dumb and Dumber and This is Spinal Tap.

Btw, just what is "Zoolander : Collectors Edition?" I mean the collectors part is unintentionally funnier than the whole movie itself.

teh wife = secret code for THE WIFE

Amelie

Its not available now, only for preorder. You'll be surprised how much you will like this French movie.
Also, are you gonna buy Lord of the Rings: FOTR soon, or wait for the other DVD with more features?

I was going to watch it today... I'd bought so many that I haven't seen yet that I was getting a little backlogged.  Plus, I was waiting for yesterday when the new 38" widescreen showed up. :D

The Cable Guy:  I'll add it when I find it at a good price.  This one and "Me, Myself and Irene" are pretty much in the same boat.  I do think the dinner scene where they were "jousting" was perhaps one of the funnies Jim Carey has ever done.
Kalifornia: Dunno if I've ever seen this movie.  What's it about?
The King of Comedy:  Probably pass on this one.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest:  I'll get it some day... in spite of the fact that its a Kupric (sp?) film.  This, Clockwork Orange and FMJ will make it in.
Pantera: 3 Vulgar Videos from Hell: Never heard of it.  What's it about?  BTW.. you may be confusing my collection with SOB's ;)
Rush: Chronicals Video Collection:  I buy all of Rush's CDs.  I can't think of a single reason I'd want to buy a DvD that has them on it.  Unless, that is, this DvD has some really cool scenes that don't inlvolve the band?
Das Boot: Some day this will be added too.

Thanks for the clarification... my l337 speak has never been all that great.  And definately a thanks for the pointer... the wifey got all gooey just reading the review on that one.  Which FDB did you watch it with?

I'll get Lord of the Rings as soon as its released... regardless of special features.  I cannot wait to get this one on the new system and rumble the walls.

And.. I thought we had Best in Show... guess I'll have to pick that one up too.  Sometimes I forget to get the ones I've seen in the Theater... get's kinda confusing keep track.

BTW... I rate "Behind Enemy Lines" as one of the worst purchases in that last group.  I challenge anyone to find one redeaming value... or one technical accuracy in that film.

I see a couple mentions of Chasing Amy, an excellant movie in my opinion, though Jason Binks overacts like in every other movie he is in (see Almost Famous for another example).

Where is "In Harms Way" on those lists??  A great John Wayne war movie!n  And Apocalypse Now?!
