Good DVD's

Uber Uberest ~Rathe · 03-27-2003, 02:59 PM

I got about 60 DVD's and I am looking for suggestions for some good old, or new ones that I should pick up. Im pretty much a fan of every movie genre, but I hate subtitles, anything good out there that I should pick up?

Se7en
Heat
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Usual Suspect
The Transporter
Clerks
Wallace and Grommit
Event Horizon
Resident Evil
Princess Bride
Gremlins 1

These are all that should be in any collection IMHO

The above recommendations are good, for the most part. However they're also rather common. (yay for pumpkinhead btw, scared the absolute CRAP outta me when I was little)

I'd recommend the following, though you may want to rent them first.

Human Traffic
Grave of the Fireflies
Bulworth
A Clockwork Orange
Bully (film by Larry Clark, director of kids, another incredible film)
Bowling for Columbine (one sided, but powerful)
Dark City
Kalifornia
Natural Born Killers (ONLY the directors cut, much better than original)

Edit : Also try to track down "Pumpkin" with Christina Ricci. It's ... difficult to watch but it's an excellent film.

Braveheart
Fight Club
Requiem for a Dream
the first Batman (second is also good imo)
Akira (don't get if you don't like anime stuff)

Mallrats just for the commentary.

Archeiron · 03-28-2003, 09:11 PM

the complete James Bond collection. I am quite pleased that I bought the whole set, and I would recommend them to anyone who has the money and the inclination to buy a bunch of dvds.

Ghetto Horror films were always the best

Candiarie · 03-29-2003, 05:16 AM

both American Pies
Meet the Parents
Rush Hour
Con Air
Billy Madison
Spaceballs

this is just some of my stupid comedy selection, most of the above are good. Ill prolly find some more for u to buy tho

They should come out with a John Carpenter box set of everything he did before like 1990: The Thing, Escape From New York, Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China, etc. It's just too bad his more recent stuff sucks so bad. I loved his movies as a kid.

TaintedMeat · 03-31-2003, 09:29 AM

Yes Pumpkin! That movie was all sorts of funny (in it's own dark depressing, yet reaffirming way)

So just to say, I love your list Eager. I haven't see a couple of them yet, but I'll try to check them out.

As far as "Bowling For columbine" goes. Yes it was one sided, I mean come on it had to serve a purpose, it had to have a message. If it tried to tell both sides (or even more for that matter, because everyones opinion is a grey area), it would have ended up with no message whatsoever.

Anyway here's my recommendations:

Momento
Jackie Brown
The Rules of Attraction (Yes I love Bret Easton Ellis)
The Crow
Gattaca
Training Day
True Romance (Tarantino's first "finished" script)
Frailty
Waking Life (This movie is all about intelligent thoughts)

I've watched True Romance a few times, and I still don't know why I like it.

P.s. pay most attention to Pumpkin, Bully and Human Traffic. Pretty groovy stuff.

That scene with Clarence's dad and Walken was the best... when Clarence's dad was explaining that all sicilians are "nigger-spawn"
