Get Catch-22 - it came out on DVD (in Canada at least) last month. I have a copy winging its way to me at the moment.
Other than that - nice collection.
-
CC Dowding.. that one is definately on the "Get it!" list.
AKDejaVu
-
DejaVu u an HT nut?
-
Nice collection... Personally I don't get a movie unless I know I'll watch it enough to make up for the money in buying the DVD. Hence Kentucky Fried Movie isn't on my list! ;)
You don't like Stanley Kubrik? 2001? A Clockwork Orange? Full Metal Jacket? The Shining?
Fantasia 2000 is good if you like classical music (pines of rome, pomp and circumstance, firebird suite...)
Excalibur is good if you like King Arthur.
How can you not have Conan??? ;)
Do you like anime? There are tons of anime titles on DVD now (as opposed to a few years ago where you couldn't find squat!)
Basically that's all I have that you don't have. you've got a million I don't, but like I said, if I know I won't watch it more than 3 or 4 times, I won't buy it. (caveat is the X-Files season collections... I might watch them through totally just once, but that's 25 episodes for about $5 a pop, not a bad deal IMO. They're on my wish list at Amazon.)
-
Good choice on Shawshank, best movie of the 90s IMO.
You should get: ( sorry if I missed them on ur list)
Lawrence of Arabia (magnificent new transfer)
Terminator 2 UE
Bridge on the River Kwai
2001 (great new transfer just out now)
Ben Hur (magnificent new transfer)
Das Boot (Great sound and perfect for the mean little BBS nazi u sometimes are :))
Glory
Predator
Sneakers (good honest comedy movie)
Prolly a few others I now forget, but certainly check these out.
Have fun!!
-
Glory is a fantastic movie!
You'll get no argument from me about Shawshank. Best of the 90's.
hmm, I liked Apollo 13 as well. (not sure why I thought of that one all of a sudden...)

hehe, oh yeah... Python!! how could I forget!!! ;)
-
Nope... you can't be the only one... Man, when he had all three tied up for the blood test... too creepy.
Oh... should also mention "The Fog". It's not up to today's standards but I thought it was a great tribute to the older 50's horror movies. Of course, I'm not sure whether to give the film credit for including Adrienne Barbeau's breasts or to pan the film for letting her act.

Is that 'Get Carter' as in the recent crappy remake, or as in the superb 70's (?) Caine version?
-
I assumed it to be the crappy Stallone remake. The original Caine version is a classic. Agreed.
-
DJV you have 197 dvds.
At an average price of $15 a dvd (thats cheap) thats $2955 in DVDs. thats about 8 years and 1 month of aces high, or a new athlon 1.4 gig with a gf 3 and a 23 inch monitor with all the other high end game crap.
You a member of a club like comubia house or something?

WRONG: Armageddon, Lost in Space, Mission to Mars, Spawn
Excellent special effects and great sound. Not much else. Fun to listen to on the 5.1 system :)
WRONG: Baseketball
Hmmmm... disagree with you here. I like the humor in this one.
Beverly Hills Ninja
More of a tribute to Chris Farley than required watching.
WRONG: Batman Forever
This one isn't my fault. My wife went through a Val Kilmer thing... this is one of the side effects. On the bright side, I still get to watch "Tombstone" whenever I want.
WRONG: FX2, Labyrinth, Star Trek: Insurrection, Star Trek: First Contact, Lethal Weapon 2, 3, and 4
I have a wife. She is a trekkie. She likes Brian Denehy and Mel Gibson. No other explanation needed here ;)
WRONG: Get Carter
Perhaps the worst movie made in the last 20 years. How can you not want to own this? Not only is it poorly written, poorly acted and poorly shot... but it is done in Seattle!
The cinematagraphy alone merits the purchase. Those cutaway seens where they show the mustang driving upside down? Sheer lunacy. A classic "what not to do when making a movie" movie.
WRONG: Little Nicky
Dude.. DID YOU SEE THIS MOVIE? They had 10 wheelchair basketball players crash into the side of a bus. I was laughing so hard that my wife almost divorced me because nobody should be laughing at something that stupid.
WRONG: The Postman
For some perverse reason I cannot explain, I actually liked this movie. Please note this when I give reviews.
WRONG: Road Trip
Hmmmm... I like this one quite a bit. I can see you being neutral on it... but not panning it. It had perhaps the most non-enhanced breast shots I've seen in a movie in the last 5 years.
WRONG: Unbreakable
A rare movie where I liked the story and idea of a plot more than the actual movie. The spin it takes on comic books is very unique.
WRONG: Varsity Blues
It was on sale.
Must Have: Alien, Aliens, Jaws
I'll have to wait for these to go on sale. I want them all, but horror isn't overly welcomed by the wife unit. They are definately going to be purchased... but the wife must not know.
Must Have: Amadeus
I'd rather shove bamboo spikes under my fingernails than watch this movie again.
Better Off Dead
Ah.. I wish. It hasn't been released on DVD yet and there are no immediate plans to do so. Some movies I'd throw in with this:
3 O'Clock High
Real Men
Both classics in my opinion. Neither widely distibuted. I don't even know if these were sold on VHS at other-than-rental prices.
AKDejaVu
-
i would also suggest a drama and two comedies:
-the year of living dangerously
-they call me bruce
-blackula
personally i have trouble watching most movies more than once. some exceptions to that are on your list - like bladreunner. never get tired of that one.

Ya need
1) the new remastered diredtors cut of "The Wild bunch"
2) The Searchers - One of the best all season travelogs of the southwest ever produced) :)
3) The Profesional - Jean Reno
4) Camelot and Cromwell Two of Richard Harris's best
5) The Exorcist the new remastered version
6) Ben Hur Nuff said
I also see you need Mad Max the first of the Road Warrior flicks, The Man Who Would Be King, Well heck anything on this list that you do not have. http://www.islandnet.com/~carlc/homepage.html (http://www.islandnet.com/~carlc/homepage.html)

Good lord DJ, you're worse than I am. And how could you have all of those movies without having the Leprechaun movies?!? I thought everyone had those? And both Jack Frost movies (not the horror one with Michael Keaton, the other one)? hmmm...maybe it's just me.
Leprechaun 1 (with Jennifer Annison)
Leprechaun 2
Leprechaun 3
Leprechaun 4: In Space (where a guy gets the death sentence because a queen flashes her tits at him)
Leprechaun 5: In the Hood (with IceT sporting an afro)
Oh how I love cheesey horror movies!

Good one Sandman, The Fog was creepy at the time and still is (just saw it on TV a few months back). Of course, I was in high school when I first saw it and had just started "partying" at the time :)Cat People was pretty scary too at the time.

MrBill.. a couple of those I thought I already had (The Profesional and Mad Max). The rest I kinda doubt... with the exception of "The Wild Bunch".

Not a bad collection SOB. Just think how much better you could do once you're gainfully employed. Though, I do understand that would mean your expulsion from the FDPs.
Terminator comes out sometime soon (may have already). I want to get that and T2... though I'm not a big fan of the collector's editions. A bit too $$$ for the volume I go through. The only DVD I was willing to eat it on was Clerks ($39.95).

Thx AKHog, great signature!!!!! Im glad you agree. :)

anyone who owns an uncensored version of bad lieutenant cant be all bad

Oh gawd... Bad Lieutenant is horrid. Just another excuse for Harvey Keitel to show us his dick.
-
Darn! How could I have forgotten "Caligula" Ranks right up there with "El Topo" and the Ilsa series. ;) (definitely when the wife ain't looking buys)
I have 1141 titles on 4 different media types. (and I ain't gunna list em all but I will mention "Billy Jack" and "Raging Bull")
I would like to see nearly 300 of them enhanced to the HDTV standard ... Imagine the Chariot race, the slo-mo ending to Bonnie and Clyde, or Tora Tora Tora in HDTV effect ... Think I'll go pop in a movie. :)
There are also some very good TV series that are worth owning "Hill Street Blues" "China Beach" "Centennial" and a host of others.

Read the book, went see the movie... liked both, and I thought the concessions Ann Druyan had to make in order to make a Hollywood flick were minimal.
Contact is pure Science-Sociology-Fiction, and it stands among my favourites of all time.

Cyrano, ya know what pissed me off most about Contact? Zemeckis playing computer tricks to put Bill Clinton in the movie. It added nothing to the movie other than proving that he had some fine computers and a big budget.

The Ninth Configuration (Release Date: 1979)
Rating: R (MPAA)
Starring: Stacy Keach, Scott Wilson, Jason Miller, Ed Flanders
Director: William Peter Blatty
Format: VHS
One source used to be http://www.bizrate.com (http://www.bizrate.com)
If you like that one you will prolly like "a Boy and His Dog", early Don Johnson effort of a similar grain.

Hmmm I don't know if that's the case Sandman, Zemeckis did the same with Forrest Gump, and I don't think he did it to show off... I think that real images in the movie add to the feeling of it being real (or that it could actually happen), and that is capital in a movie like Contact (or Forrest Gump).
He also hired Alan Silvestri to do the Soundtrack, so I think it's more a director's footprint than a mere technical showoff... that's my pov, at least.
I know I loved it... excellent performances by Jodie Foster, James Woods (man u gotta love his part in the movie), or Tom Skerrit... but since it was a Sci-fi movie, no oscars for it. Pity.
Now if someone dared to take some Arthur C. Clarke novels to the big screen... Songs from Distant Earth anyone?

"A Boy and his Dog"! What a classic. You could watch to whole movie just to hear the dog say at the end, "...Yeah, but she had great taste.".
I don't know if it's on DVD, but "The Profesionals" is the best Western ever made (well, that and True Grit).

Hehe, I think I missed a few, so I'll have to update when I get home and can check my collection.
As you can see, I'm a huge classic movie fan. I enjoy modern film, too, but to a lesser degree. Alfred Hitchcock is my favorite director, along with Stanley Kramer, John Frankenheimer and Stanley Kubrick. I'm a James Bond snob, as Sean Connery will always be the James Bond to me. As soon as Connery left, the series has never been the same in quality or style.

Deja,
You need to add "Dogma" to your list in order to complete the "Clerks/MallRats" thingie you got going there.
A fine list for sure though....
-
I'll add "Chasing Amy" long before "Dogma". I didn't think "Dogma" was one of Kevin's better films. Some good parts... but kinda lame overall.

If you're going to own "Toxic Avenger", well, then "Space Balls" is a must see.
-
"I see your schwartz is as big as mine!"
Yes... I will own that movie.

Just got "O Brother where art though?" today. Gonna watch it this evening with the folks. They haven't seen it yet.
Damn.. I loved most everything about that movie. The pace, the music, the humor, the dialog, John Goodman's performance as the Cyclops... all of it. Even the ending killed me :)
