Best of 1996

	Fargo (Special Edition) [1996] [DVD] Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.69 Probably the best Coens film, maybe the best of the year, oh you betcha yah.
	Trainspotting [DVD] [1995] Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £5.81 One of the most successful page-to-screen translations of all time. Well done then.
	Scream [DVD] [1997] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.32 Watching this now, it's baffling that Matthew Lilliard just kinda disappeared. Scooby Doo aside, he could have been SO much bigger.
	That Thing You Do! [1997] [DVD] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.80 Ignore Amazon, it did NOT come out in 1997. Hanks' best film to that point, AND he wrote and directed it. Have a scone. They're my only weakness.
	101 Dalmatians - Live Action [DVD] [1996] Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £3.42 Wow, look at the time, its guilty pleasure o'clock already. Really quite good. Very, even.
	Resident Evil - Platinum (PS) Buy used from: £5.97 Arguably best remembered for it's sublime dialogue (anyone fancy a "Jibble Sandwich"), plus the bit with zombie Tony Blair.
	PSone Twin Pack: Tekken 2/Soulblade Buy used from: £4.45 Great for their time, their only worth to today's gamer is in their music scores- 2 for Tekken and 3 for SB, better than almost anything modern games can offer. Thanks, Namco. Thamco.
	Mortal Kombat Trilogy - Platinum Buy used from: £10.99 Worth owning for the fatalities reel after you beat the game- 12 minutes of non stop violence. One of the most entertaining, side-creasing displays ever, if you're mental.
	Super Mario 64 Buy used from: £6.99 What's that? You want a race? Top of the hill or down the ice-slide, foo, don't matter to me!
	Vempire by Cradle of Filth Buy new: £15.49 / Used from: £7.00 Best album ever.
	Like Gods of the Sun [Digipak] by My Dying Bride Buy new: £7.79 / Used from: £4.82 Best MDB album ever.
	Odelay by Beck Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.80 Best Beck album til his girlfriend dumped him and he got all sad and wrote Sea Change in like a week.
	October Rust by Type O Negative Buy new: £7.68 / Used from: £4.30 October Rust actually transcends the boundaries of how good Type O could ever be, somehow, or something. Whatever.
	Vile by Cannibal Corpse Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £5.90 Last good Cannibal album. Shame. Leaving Scott Burns was the worst thing they ever did.
	Swansong by Carcass Buy used from: £6.00 Best Carcass album. Leaving the being in of Carcass together was the worst thing they ever did.
	Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk Buy new: £4.61 / Used from: £2.35 Another flawless component of a flawless page-to-screen duo. Marvellous.
	The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie Buy used from: £0.01 This is the horrible edition I recieved, and the cover has put me off reading it. Still, the first three chapters I DID get through were a riot. Budge up.
	Seinfeld - Season 8 [DVD] [1996] Buy new: £10.97 / Used from: £9.99 The first Larry David-less and most unfarily critised season. "The Little Kicks" anyone?
	Dexter's Laboratory - Vol. 1 [VHS] [2000] Maybe my favourite cartoon of all time, debuted (properly) in 1996, and for 52 episodes was the absolute funniest thing on TV, in the wake of...
	The Ren & Stimpy Show: Season 5 and Some More of 4 [DVD] [2005] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] Buy used from: £32.17 ...this, most probably a direct influence on Dexter's Lab, ie the notion of cartoons governed completely by their creators' personalities.
	ABIGAIL BRESLIN #1 - COLOUR Movie Photo - LARGE wall POSTER Size Print - SIZE 25x20" (60x50cm) Buy new: £15.99 Um. Is born...
	Tupac Shakur (Street) Music Poster Buy new: £3.99 Dies. Was he even that good anyway?
