Saw Blazing Saddles for the first time at the theater when I was in college. I think the haze of alcohol and pot made it much funnier.

Still a favorite though.

Blazing Saddles is constantly in my DVD player. It's got a great audio commentary with Mel Brooks too, about the making of the movie and such...very interesting stuff, especially about the casting of the movie.

The two best DVD purchases I have made (value vs. cost) would have to be The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and Boondock Saints. Both great movies at only $10.

Other DVD's that I have gotten that are pretty well worth the money I paid for them:

Band of Brothers

LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring (super duper but not extra-special edition)

Blue Max (though this doesn't have any extras beyond the trailer)

The Recruit (surprisingly entertaining, if a tad predictable)

Black Hawk Down (extra-geeked-out version - 3 discs full of goodies)

Dogma (Special Edition)

Donnie Brasco (awesome movie - fuggedaboutit)

L.A. Confidential (a definite must see)

Spy Game

This is Spinal Tap (two movies in one - don't believe me? Watch it with the commentary on)

The Thing (still one of the creepiest movies I have ever seen)

Tombstone (Directors cut - Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday = cool)

The Usual Suspects (if you haven't seen it, Gabriel Byrne is Kaiser Soze - oops, nm)
