    Grease I think it was and supposedly it was released in 2002, so in 2002 I suppose but I thought it was earlier!

    I'm pretty sure my first one was TRUE STORIES a kind of music dvd by david byrne and talking heads.

    Mine was The Matrix.

    I actually bought the DVD before I owned a player. What an introduction that was! It was just the perfect film for the job, jaw was on the floor!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,785 ✭✭✭Aglomerado


    Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

    Still love the Lego Knights in the extras! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Mine was either Holy Grail also or the Fellowship of the Ring. Mostly because I really liked the bookends LOTR_Fell078_PillarsoftheKi.jpg

    SAme here, but the family had just got a DVD player so I but The Matrix as our 1st DVD. Think its still knocking around my room somewhere :pac:

    Starship Troopers. (It was a goddam flipper as well! :mad:)

    Also remember getting a lot of Warner Brothers DVD at the time. They were noteable because they came in a rather unique cardboard case with plastic clips. Crappy boxes and no DVD extras on them but it was still a step up on VHS! :)

    October 2003, Stuart Little 2 featuring a mouse on a skateboard. I bought the DVD player first and I only realised at the time I had nothing to play on it. Chicken and egg. And about two months later I read the original book by E.B.White.

    The Godfather Trilogy box set - saw it in the shops, bought myself a DVD player, and then bought the box set!

    Backdoor Sluts 9. :D

    It made Crotch Capers 3 look like Naught Nurses 2! It is the single most disgusting, twisted piece of porn ever made.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,710 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    mine was The Matrix as well but i didn't have a proper DVD player for years
    i used to watch them on my first computer that i bought back in 1999 and then on my PS2
    i now use my PS3 for Blu-Ray and it is brilliant


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    Mine was Edward Scissors Hands!! I love that film. Can't remember what year it was but I was so happy when I bought it :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,338 ✭✭✭aphex™


    I think i bought the Michael Collins dvd. It was double sided but not because of the extras. You had to flip it half way though the film.... :rolleyes:

    Goodfellas came with my first dvd player. Still have it :)

    Rocky Horror Picture Show. Didn't even have a DVD player, but a laptop with a DVD drive.

    Can also remembering renting movies *and* a player from Xtravision before then, you'd rent 5 or 6 movies and watch them all just to make the rental of the player worth it.

    Analyse This. It has two sides on it (think widescreen version on the other side). :)

    Save The Last Dance :P

    In my defence, I was 11.

    I actually caught a little bit of it on TV a few months ago and it wasn't quite as horrific as I had convinced myself it was.
