just wondering
but is from dusk till dawn 2 anygood
better than the first or wot
i wouldnt mind some of those films only have 4 at mo :(

[rick166]

I have to say, that From Dusk Till Dawn 2 is completely $hite. The first one was way better.
The only reason i bought it was because there was a special buy one get another 1/2 price at WH smith. So when i was buying my original request i just chose this to see what it was like.

Hope i have been any use to you.

A nice collection there, just 12 less than i have :) though i have had a player since last April.

First off it would be interesting which of these are R1 apart from the obvious few, like your Texas Chainsaw Massacre The R2 version is 4 minutes shorter than the R1 version.

Vampires, i own this and i'm afraid to say i think the film is sh1te, awfully dated story and some pretty naff acting, James Woods wins the award for the worst overacting ever witnessed.

What version of Dawn of the Dead do u own?
I have the US theatrical cut although i'm looking to get the US dir cut but it has been deleted :(
The UK Dir cut version is dif again to the 2 US versions with some scenes cut and some scenes added from the European cut (theres about 8 dif versions all together though not all on dvd).

Blair witch project is a fine choice, a great film, very original, and a mind fu.ck :)

I'd love to get hold of Hallowe'en 3 as i think this is the best of the series (not keen on the slasher flics of the others) deeply disturbing, and has a great ending :)

All in all you have alot of good movies there aswell as some great DVD's on a whole ,some dodgy :) but i have some dodgy films too, Batman and Robin anyone' hehehe (the misses bought it honest :) but thats our opinions.

Nice one

ScuD

p.s what player do u have, or do you use a DVD-ROM?

[[DI] yutani]

not a bad collection of films at all m8....you've got a major deficiency in that list though...you have got to own alien legacy...all 4 alien movies in a superb box set tons of xtras and featurettes...for my money this is the definative dvd collection of films...bar none
saying that i'm very biased...cos aliens is the best movie i've ever and ever will see..i can't see myself so engrossed as i was as a 16 year old watching THAT film for the first time,EVER again...INTENSE!!!!

Blade

mmm wont bother listing mine or commenting on all of them but..

Big Lebowski - major class act, well original.
Ronin - ah real good, but SEAN BEAN SHOULD BE SHOT FFS, If the film had been a French type thing like Nikita, maybe keeping Robert De Niro as he was pretty damned good in it.. but SEAN BEAN FFS SEAN BEAN grrr.
Gattaca - plays like a science fiction book, and doesn't fall into the trap of over sentimentality.. kinda real good. Doesn't leave you with much to think about at the end though.
Dark City - Mm R1's better than R2 apparently, but total total class film, one of the best solid non-stop Sci Fi film I've seen.

Just er my opinions.. but I know what I like :)

Oh watched Human Traffic for the first time today.. good fun, enjoyed it. I had to go and buy some fags when it finished though ffs :)

[Gerbil USA]

must say though that I thought that Notting Hill was about as shallow as a comedy love story could get, although charming nonetheless, I preferred You've Got Mail. um, I'm not married so got no excuse for buying that, but er still :)
