What was the first DVD you ever bought?

[idiotzaint]

Mine was "Blade"

 

[TeAnna K]

A bugs life,weekend at bernies and wild things-all bought same time!

 

[Babey♥]

Fargo is a quality film - ya, for sure! Real good, then.

 

[Mee M]

Ghostbusters & Go

two for

 

[GAGO]

Quite a selection

 

[la la la la la la la la]

Twister/Gladiator

I actually bought them over a year before I bought a DVD player.

(I watched them on my lodger's iMac)

 

[Brett K]

Go has to be one of the most under-rated films ever made. It's so funny.

 

[Jalyssa M]

Notting Hill, I love it.

 

[G.O.A.T.]

My Dad got that when he got his but he gave it to me so that was about the 5th one I had. I remember DVD were really expensive back then.

 

[Uma Sankar]

I agree

I think it got overlooked because it came out the same time as the glut of late 90's teen films

She's All That
Cruel Intentions
10 Things I Hate About You
The Faculty
Varsity Blues
et al

anyway my DVD collection is huuuuuge now, far too many but I can't stop buying them

god help when I upgrade to Blu-ray

 

[Donnnaa]

I think it was Jaws.

Remember being wowed by 'special features'.

 

[Polesauce]

I can't remember the very first, but Titanic and Grease bare-bones editions would have been early DVD purchases.

 

[Yes... wait a minute...no]

Bought 3 on the day I got the machine -
Manhunter.
Blade Runner - Directors Cut.
Overboard.

 

[JayJay Justice]

Got 3 at the same time if I remember right. mid 1999
had them about a month before my first player arrived from the states, so sat here like an idiot just looking at the disks

The Thomas Crown Affair ( McQueen )
Contact
Mars Attack

 

[Cloud Man]

I bought Star Trek VI and Star Trek: Insurrection on R1 import a few weeks before I got hold of the UK's first remote hackable multi region player back in early 1999.

Those were happy days. Couldn't give a stuff about being an early adopter now though.

 

[Playa Play]

My first one was Basket Case 2! Shortly followed by Basket Case 3.
But I only just recently bought Basket Case 1.

 

[2blah2]

The Waterboy.

 

[Paul_in_Steeltown]

Is Manhunter any good, then? It was only a couple of quid as an ex-rental in Blockbuster. I was considering getting it.

 

[o_O LINA]

Shrek

 

[AnimeGoddess893]

It's superb mate. The best of the Hannibal movies by a long shot. Great atmosphere, Brian Cox is excellent as Hannibal, less hammy than Hopkins. And the guy playing Dollarhyde is terrifying. I'd only say avoid if you're not a fan of 80s horrors with heavy synth soundtracks.
