    5 free HD-DVDs can be claimed with a DVD player I bought.

    But which ones?!

    Group A - 2 from:
    Corpse Bride
    The Prestige
    Troy
    Swordfish
    Full Metal Jacket

    Group B - 2 from:
    The Hulk (No!)
    Serenity
    Chronicles of Riddick
    F&F Tokyo Drift (No!)
    Children of Men

    Group C - 1 from:
    World Trade Center
    Dream Girls
    Black Rain

    Haven't seen any of these and reviews for most are both good and not so good. Anyone seen and liked any of these?

    Do you mean you havent seen any at all or any from the last group ?

    -The Prestige
    -Full Metal Jacket
    -Serenity
    -Children of Men
    -Black Rain

    Never seen Black Rain but WTC is ****ing dire and Dream Girls looks awful as well. If its this Black Rain http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096933/ it was nominated for two Oscars and is directed by Ridley Scott so should definitely take priority over WTC. Has some good reviews here too http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Rain-Michael-Douglas/dp/B00004UEXM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1195862456&sr=8-1

    Similar tastes Tusky.. i never saw WTC either so mv vote should technically be null-and-void. Just wasn't sold on the synopsis for Black Rain to be honest.

    Dreamgirls is horrid though!

    You're joking ?!? In that case get ordering. Full Metal Jacket(Stanley Kubrick) is an absolute classic. Possibly my favorite war movie. The Prestige, Children of Men & Serenity are also excellent. A lot of people didn't like the Hulk but I loved it, im a big fan of Eric Bana. Chronicles of Riddick is a good popcorn munching action movie.

    I laughed throughout WTC. There is a moment when a teary cop delivers this line, and I quote "The second tower just came down like a stack of pancakes"

    I found Nicholas Cages performance a little flat.

    I really like Eric Bana & Jennifer Connolley. While I always enjoy comic book movies, they are getting very predictable and I liked that 'The Hulk' was a little different and didn't follow the rules.

    I vote for:

    The Prestige
    Full Metal Jacket
    Serenity
    Children Of Men

    Then just pick one of the last ones at random.

    The Prestige, Full Metal Jacket and Children of Men are must haves. For the rest I'd say Serenity and Black Rain.

    Cheers all. Went for The Prestige, Full Metal Jacket, Serenity, Children of Men & Black Rain. Bourne Supremecy & 300 in the box too! Good deal that, 7 free HD-DVDs with the new Toshiba players.
