Listmania!
Some favs from my DVD-collection (in no order)
Ronin [DVD] [1998]Ronin [DVD] [1998]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.50
Great shootouts, grat car chases, great music. Reno and De Niro are magnificent. Too bad I only have the 1-disc edition.
Gladiator (2000) - Two Disc Set [DVD]Gladiator (2000) - Two Disc Set [DVD]
Buy used from: £0.45
I had the 1-disc edition but wanted some extra features. I bought this, only to know the next day that there is a 3-Disc Extended edition coming this fall!
Saving Private Ryan 60th Anniversary [DVD] [1998]Saving Private Ryan 60th Anniversary [DVD] [1998]
Buy used from: £4.95
The ultimate WW2-movie!
Star Wars Trilogy (Episodes IV-VI) [DVD] [1977]Star Wars Trilogy (Episodes IV-VI) [DVD] [1977]
Buy used from: £13.49
The first movie is a typical example of the fact that you don't have to be super-rich to make a masterpiece. All you need is ambition. Love them all three.
The Godfather Trilogy (5 Disc Box Set) [DVD]The Godfather Trilogy (5 Disc Box Set) [DVD]
Buy new: £34.29 / Used from: £7.89
The ultimate Gangster-trilogy. The second is, in my opinion, the best. Then comes the 1st and the 3rd. They're all great.
The Untouchables [DVD] [1987]The Untouchables [DVD] [1987]
Buy used from: £0.29
De Niro hits the jackpot again! Close to perfect gangster movie. Great action. Can be watched over and over again!
The Matrix [1999] [DVD]The Matrix [1999] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.89
Great movie. Too bad its successors weren't anything else than pure action (and horribly sexed up!) with no soul and no really good story.
The Thing [DVD] [1982]The Thing [DVD] [1982]
Buy new: £2.97 / Used from: £1.75
One of the only Carpenter-movies I like, and boy do I like it! One of the only really good horror movies made (defined the 80's).
Ice Age (Extreme Cool Edition) [DVD] [2002]Ice Age (Extreme Cool Edition) [DVD] [2002]
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £1.70
I have to watch this again every now and then. Lovely in every way. Too bad it's so short. Could go on for at least 20 minutes more.
Die Hard Trilogy (6 Disc Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1988]Die Hard Trilogy (6 Disc Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1988]
Buy used from: £7.74
Yippee-ki-yay! The first movie was actually nominated for 4 oscars. How many action movies gets 4 Oscar Nominations, huh?
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Theatrical Edition Box Set) [DVD]The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Theatrical Edition Box Set) [DVD]
Buy new: £10.68 / Used from: £7.59
One of the few best trilogies of all time. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the extended editions yet.
The Spaghetti Western Collection [DVD] [1964]The Spaghetti Western Collection [DVD] [1964]
Buy used from: £10.19
Just like the Star Wars- and Lord Of The Rings trilogies, the Spaghetti Western trilogy is on my list of best trilogies of all time.
The Sixth Sense - 2 Disc Collector's Edition [DVD] [1999]The Sixth Sense - 2 Disc Collector's Edition [DVD] [1999]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.94
Shyamalan's smash hit debut. I just LOVE the end-twist! Too bad it's only going downwards for the guy nowadays ("Unbreakable" being good, "Signs" being medicore, and "The Village" being even worse!)
The Magnificent Seven (Special Edition) [DVD] [1960]The Magnificent Seven (Special Edition) [DVD] [1960]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.94
I'm not really a fan of movies from the 60's and 70's (especially not Wayne-movies!). For some reason I bought this without knowing too much about it from before. Love it.
Wyatt Earp [DVD] [1994]Wyatt Earp [DVD] [1994]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.45
Lovely, just lovely. The only movie about Wyatt Earp's life being at least close to true.
The Boondock Saints [DVD] [1999]The Boondock Saints [DVD] [1999]
Buy used from: £14.95
This is one of my personal favourites. Poetic, violent, classy, recognizable and heart-striking. Too bad this edition is so bad (No special feats, no subs, 2.0 sound, etc)
The Thin Red Line [1999] [DVD]The Thin Red Line [1999] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.48
Clearly overshadowed by Saving Private Ryan. Still a lovely WW2-movie. A lot more Poetic than "Ryan", showing the contrasts between war and peace (i.e. by using the Melanesians).
Apocalypse Now Redux [DVD] [1979]Apocalypse Now Redux [DVD] [1979]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.69
Critics worldwide acclaimed this movie the ultimate Vietnam-movie. It's a really good movie, messing a bit with your head in the end.
Platoon [DVD] [1987]Platoon [DVD] [1987]
Buy used from: £1.16
Rough, violent, realistic. This movie is maybe even better than Apocalypse Now!
Goodfellas (2 Disc Special Edition) [1990] [DVD]Goodfellas (2 Disc Special Edition) [1990] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.06
The best modern Gangster-flick. Period.
Heat [DVD] [1995]Heat [DVD] [1995]
Buy new: £4.38 / Used from: £0.64
Again, Robert De Niro. Only now combined with nemesis Al Pacino. This is one deadly film! God I wish I had the 2-disc edition!
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl [DVD] [2003]Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl [DVD] [2003]
Buy used from: £0.01
A drunken Johnny Depp, beautiful music, great special effects, and all wrapped up in a perfect pirate-package. What more can ye wish for?
The 13th Warrior [DVD] [1999]The 13th Warrior [DVD] [1999]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.01
The movie itself is probably not "all that" for everyone, but I love it! Mybe it's the music, maybe it's the story, or maybe it's just because I'm a viking myself. I don't know, but I still love it.
The Terminator Collection: Terminator 1 & 2 (Special Editions) [DVD]The Terminator Collection: Terminator 1 & 2 (Special Editions) [DVD]
Buy used from: £14.47
Two great sci-fi thrillers. Love them both! Only the package gives you the creeps! Too bad (but not unexpected) the 3rd movie is nothing but a bunch of crap from the modern Hollywood.
The Hurricane [DVD] [2000]The Hurricane [DVD] [2000]
Buy used from: £3.48
The first time I saw this movie was at school, some four years ago. Wasn't exactly looking forward to it, as the name sounded pretty lame. I love every second of this movie, as it strikes your heart.
