Got these for Christmas:

LLC, if you can bring back The Graduate, you should. The re-release has no features if memory serves. The one with the leg on it has a few things.

Though I guess you aren't missing a lot by having the re-release.

Well, the other one is out of print... Although, I have seen the features, and they're nothing that I'd want to see more than two or three times. Both versions are pretty basic... I'll take this one for free, I suppose.

If I want to see them again, I guess I could just rent the old edition.

Capo, I really enjoyed Solaris and thought it was very underrated. Have you watched it yet? And what did you think?

Here's some I just bought at some bargain stores in NYC.






I was really happy to find Atlantic City and the Conversation, as all of the rental places in my area dony carry them and I wasnt looking to throw down 18 or 19 dollars for two movies I had never seen. I found them both for about 14 each, and Im usually picky about buying movies I havent seen before, but both of those were listed in this book I got, top 101 films of all time, so I kind of trusted that I wouldnt regret my purchase.

It was really a relief to finally get Thief. I realized I probably just needed to buy it after about the 6th time I rented it, but it too was hard to find. Picked it up for about 14 or 15 in the same place I got The Conversation.

And lastly, Raising Arizona, a great find at only 8$!

I love used DVD stores.

Im still waiting till "The Conversation" will be released over here :rolleyes:

Just received "Lost in Translation"...

My Aunt who works at NBC/Universal got this for free, and then used it as a grab-bag gift at my family's Christmas party. I ended up winning it in the grab-bag game. It looks pretty sucky, so I think I'll try bringing it to any store for exchange and saying I lost the receipt... If not, I'll watch it once for kicks before I maybe hook it up to some fireworks.

FINALLY gonna get this Tuesday

Late Christmas presents

I have to say this is an interesting thread. I'm either oblivious to what movies are released each year, or you all are digging up some incredibly strange picks! I'm interested to see a lot of the movies you have listed here. One that stood out to me is Layer Cake. Anyone care to give me a quick summary of the movie and if it's really worth watching? I have never heard of it until now.

SWEET DVD's xxx. Christmas presents or did you spoil yourself?

Spoiled myself.

Does anyone else out there currently own The 40-Year-Old Virgin DVD? I have the unrated Widescreen version and one of the special features is messed up and was just checking to see if it was my copy or if others had the same problem?

I got it for Christmas. I don't have a problem with it, although I haven't checked out the features.

If you do, check out the special feature titled "My Dinner with Stormy." It's a little over 2 minutes and it looks very badly dubbed. You can hear them talk when they're not moving their lips and vice versa

It's not movie-quality but it doesn't seem dubbed at all.

Late Christmas gift.

Ok then it's probably just the way the DVD was made. Thanks for checking DV

Looking at the features, am I the only one who thinks that the original longer "You Know How I know That You're Gay?" is better than the smaller one in the movie? It actually focuses less on the jokes and has some simple, admirable humor in it. It seems like a very realistic, humorous conversation, and not one that just exists for the jokes.

Aziatic, enjoy Ran if you haven't already seen it. Absolutely majestic film.

MMTH, yeah, I saw Solaris yesterday. I loved it. A cool, detached film full of ideas and themes but not really committing itself fully to exploring them; if the content could have been meatier, the form is fine indeed, and it must be respected as a film which bares little overall resemblance to Tarkovsky's.

Bought today:

As of now Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is slated to come out on March 7th. WOW, that was quick

Irish, don't you know the distribution deals? The shitter the film, the quicker the release.

:p

I know what you mean. It only grossed over $252 million. MAN, A LOT of people must have thought it was "sh*tty"

Walk the Line, also!

REALLY!? Wow, I have heard that they want to cut down the time it takes to get from theaters to DVD but man this is too quick. But hey, I'm not complaining

Thanks. Im sure I will, I doubt it can be better than "The Seven Samurai" though...
