What DVDs if any did people get you this Christmas?

My gf got me "I spit on your grave" and "Old Boy".

lodgepole

I Spit on Your Grave is rotten. Horrible movie.

I got Bosco, Wanderly Wagon, Monty Python's Meaning of Life, The Spongebob Movie and the Toy Story boxed set. Pleased enough with the haul... There's others i'd have wanted more but that's what vouchers from Uncles and Aunts are for.

Vokes

Got Collateral, which i already have, from a brother.

Got that 2-disc set of Downfall from my sister, which im really looking forward to watching.

And Will Ferrell's Kicking & Screaming from my other brother, which came with a rather spiffing Kicking & Screaming digital watch

Karl Hungus

No films as such, but I did get Ricky Gervais Live 2: Politics, Marty Friedman - 99 Secret Lead Guitar Phrases, and Stargate Season 7. Not a bad little haul I think.

jonnybadd

I got The Warriors, and the toy story box set, both awesomely excellent.

Roar

got to laurel and hardy classics, way out west and sons of the desert, snatch, shaun of the dead (which i already had lol), billy connolly's new one, the best of will ferrell on saturday night live (i didnt stop laughing for an hour!) and best of all, the complete Blackadder..

Is it one disc or two over here? I got the two volumes while I lived in Canada. Second volume isn't as good but there's some real gold on it too.

Crucifix

Clerks

Squirrel

I got Gangs Of New York and Usual Suspects off my mates. I got none others, but others in my family got loads

Hugh Hefner

I got an antique poster of The House Of Exorcism with Telly "Kojak" Savalas.

I also got a €40 HMV Gift Card which I'll go and spend on DVDs tomorrow. I'll need halp getting the 18s films though. I never get away with it!

qz

Original King Kong
Jeremy Clarkson: Heaven & Hell
Nightmare Before Christmas

Mickeroo

i got The Goonies, Batman Begins, Firefly season boxset and star wars: clone wars vol2. plus a gift voucher for xtra-vision...yay!

Necronomicon

Land of the Dead director's cut, still haven't seen it though.

rain on

I was hoping for The Warriors director's cut, I Spit On Your Grave, Cannibal Holocaust, The Descent or A Clockwork Orange, but the boyfriend isn't the best with hints so I got Mean Streets and Memento (3 disc version). I'm not complaining, though!

TerrorFirmer

Revenge of the Sith was my only movie - but some lovely person also gave me Firefly S1 and Battlestar Galactica 2004 S1.

And I almost forgot - my girlfriend gave me the 007 tin - all 20 DVDs. There's a hell of alot of watching in the days ahead. :eek:

lostexpectation

near perfect films, good commentary track on the first one, none on the second , but did get two eps of the REAL ghostbuster cartoon, which was as good as I remembered it being.

Wacker

All I got was Toy Story! That was all! Shocking. But then, I wasn't expecting many this year, as I usually tell people exactly what to get me and I'm thus able to predict my pressies pretty well.

erceefce

'Donnie Brasco' with Al Pacino and johnny Depp is a nice movie

ixoy

Got 'Dawn of the Dead (2004)', 'Spellbound', and 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'.

Hugh Hefner

I went out today and, using some of the money I got for Christmas, bought Natural Born Killers (Uncut), Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Blow and Dune (Special Edition). All for only €43 too.

lodgepole

Bought the new 3 disc Frighteners and Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket with my vouchers today.

byte

I didn't get any movies, just Billy Connolly's Live in New York. But meh, I'm happy with it.

BopNiblets

None.

So I had to get myself the Original Star Wars Trilogy 4 disc box set.
I got the Naked Gun Trilogy for my brother though.
Rediculous films. Awesome.

Good grief, the packaging on that is so awful. Three disks, stacked on top of each other? Surely there's a better way of doing that, one that won't result in scratched disks?

Also - couldn't they have just printed a "DISK 1/2/3" on the actual disk, instead of having to use the various serial numbers to distinguish them? Took me ages to figure out which one was the actual movie.

Karl Hungus

Got Land Of The Dead and Bottom Series 3 with some vouchers.

Yeah it was disapointing wasn't it? I'm going to have to come up with some better way of storing the discs. Maybe find an old game box that has three slots.

On the plus side the extra features are quite nice. Interesting to see them knowing how long ago they were produced and how they were something of a precursor to the special features we're used to now. The best part is Peter Jackson insisting that the real director's cut is his theatrical version and calling the special edition a "fun feature" despite the box's claims that it's PETER JACKSON'S DIRECTOR'S CUT! not once but twice. Still a good set.

monkeyfudge

I didn't get any DVDs as gifts this year... all I really got were socks... bleh.

But this evening I did buy myself a copy of Crime Wave which is an early Sam Rami film that was writen by the Coen Brothers. I haven't seen it in years and I'm hoping it's as funny as I remember it to be.

Kingp35

I got Star Wars Episode 3 (not a fan of it really), Trading places, Mystic River, Bone Collector, U2 Vertigo tour and the band of brothers box set.

Also €40 vouchers to buy more!

The Bollox

I didn't get any movies, but I got Des Bishop Live, Father Ted collection and Family Guy series 3

NoDayBut2Day

"My Best Friend's Wedding" . It's an old one, but I've always loved it!

Ruu_Old

Schlindlers List and MacGyver Season 1

scuba steve

I highly reccomend all 3!

missingtime

I got...
Casino and Sexy Beast.

Kingp35

Just got myself Mallrats, Spartacus and Donnie Brasco with my X-mas vouchers. Happy days

~Rebel~

Wasn't given any. Which is actually pretty crazy cause im pretty sure everyone in my family knows i love movies and my general taste..gues they wanted to be seen to be using their imaginations..b@stards. Did buy the complete series of Firefly though, on sale for 30e, not half bad!

Pinx

My very kind bf gave me "Almost Famous", "Amelie", "Nightmare Before Christmas", and "Killinascully Series 2". Those hints I'd been dropping must have sunk in somewhere along the line!

spiderlegs

I got beetleguece, last waltz, betty blue, garden state and twelve monkeys!! Good Dvds indeed!
