looking for some good dvds.
 

I'm looking to buy some good dvds to watch on my xmas break...
i want something thats worth the money... I like movies like pulp fiction, fight club, terminator2,3....

got any suggestions?:confused:

Seen the Boondock Saints? Excellent movie. Cheap DVD, too, I think its $12 on Amazon.

Heck, I could go on all day posting good movies...

That's really funny considering the Fight Club and Terminator 2 DVDs are considered the best DVDs ever released. I'd pick those up first. It doesn't matter how much they cost -- it's worth it.

You might want to check out Reservoir Dogs, Seven, Indiana Jones, True Romance, The Usual Suspects, 12 Monkeys, From Dusk to Dawn, American Psycho... I don't know. It's hard to recommend movies for people you don't know. Check some descriptions out for those movies. See if anything sounds good.

Boondock Saints is a definite must buy. Indy is a great DVD collection, and lest you forget, the Lord of the Rings DVDs, they're just freakin awesome. Also, Pirates of the Caribbean is pretty sweet.

I would advise buying the Boondock Saints DVD (one of my favorite movies) but over 10% of the movie is cut out due to censhorship. Yes, the movie is rated R, and yes, it's on DVD, and yes, it's censored. Don't ask me why, but it is. I've seen the full version, and once you've seen it, you can't go back. I heard a rumor about an uncut version of the Boondock Saints DVD coming out, but I don't know if there's any merit in it. Great movie, I simply wish an uncut DVD would come out. Some say the movie has no point and that it's simply another action movie. Not many action movies turn gunfights and forensic re-creations into art.

Lase, I have a dled version of Boondock Saint on a cd. Can you tell me about a couple of the censored bits so I can tell if I have a censored version or the whole thing? How long should the uncensored version be?

hard boiled.... john woo and chow yuen fat

best ever

thanks... i'll look into those dvds... i own a tape of the boondock saints... very freaking good movie... "so the're all gone? then i'll have a coke.. " AHAHAH!@

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas - The Criteron Collection
Amazing dvd, and such a damn good movie. And if you're into Pulp Fiction, i'd recommend The Resevoir Dogs, also a good dvd.

Orgazmo

"Orgazmo" ahaha! i wonder if they made a sequel? it ended with the possibility.

I would check out the Big Lewbowski, Usual Suspects, Rounders, Training Day, and Boondock Saints.

Thread hijack below....

Sion, a quick way to check to see if you have the censored or uncensored version is to seek forward to the scene where they drop through the air ducts into the russian mobster guys hotel room. When they start firing if they is a LOT and I mean a lot of blood then you have the uncensored, if they mobsters just fall to the ground then you have teh censored. Another way to check is to go to th escene in which Roco goes into the diner and shoots the two guys in the booth. If they show a blood splatter on the wall after he shoots the guy through his coat, you have the uncensored and if there is not a gigantic blood splatter you have teh censored.

I am sure there are many other ways to tell, these are just two of the easiest ways. Hope i could help.

damn,,, i have the censored... this sucks... why would they do that? why ruin a movie like that? i mean its still good but now that i know about the full movie, i wont go buy the crappy censored version.

The only difference is the "gore" content aside form that they movies are identical in length and plot, only difference is ammount of blood and the depiction of violence.

boondock saints is good, also Amelie (one of my best of all time fav's...)

O Brother Where Art Thou
American History X
Snatch
Pi
Memento
The Wall

good choices... is that PINKFLOYD:the wall?

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Pi, Pitch Black, Snatch, Oceans 11 (the new one or the old one both are good), Very Bad Things, Omega Code (ya cheesy but still good), The General, Requiem For A Dream, and last but not least Citzine Kane, which is posible the greatest movie ever made.

That plus the others listed should be a good start.

I'd recommend Memento, Dark City, A Clockwork Orange, The Santa Clause, Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Ice Age, T3, and Star Trek: First Contact.

The Warriors
Almost Famous
Highlander
Brotherhood of the Wolves
Evil Dead
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Requiem for a Dream - sad, powerful movie
Gladiator - My all-time favorite movie
The Rock - action-packed thriller
The Jackal - action thriller
Se7en (Seven) - Psychological thriller
Office Space - comedy
Old School - comedy
American History X - one of my new favorite movies
Shawshank Redemption - Classic movie about hope
American Beauty

i just downloaded Darkcity to see what it was... looks cool... gonna go buy it next week with alot of your recommendations.

Some excellent recommedations so far. If you like action don't forget Equilibrium!

I would also recommend Shawshank Redemption and The Thomas Crowne Affair.

might also check out a movie called Imposter

Super walmart has some good deals on dvd's or at elast the one near me does. They have huge bins of mixed dvd's all for 6$.
Have you ever seen donnie darko? It is a weird movie that deals with time travel and what not but I enjoyed it and its worth checking out.

Well thankfully, according to the rules put forth by Ryan, I downloaded (err.....bought) the uncensored version of Boondock Saints.

Equilibrium!!! that was a gooood movie! i realy liked it! i did see donny darko... it was good.... but i dont think its worth buying... i did get alot of your recommendations and they were all good... thanks alot ppl! if you think of anything else, just let me know.! :)

gonna go buy 12 Monkeys and the usual suspect soon... since i got a dvd stand for x-mas, i might as well use it! :) oh and thanks for recomending true romance... very good.

Ohhh, that was me who recommended True Romance, wasn't it? I'm glad you liked it.

i also just got 12 monkeys... got fucking ripped off... but it was good. gonna get the usual suspect later... i hope its good.

WE could kill... EVERYONE! - rosco

Just watched K-Pax. Great movie with Kevin Spacey! I would definently recommend it, and since it wasn't a big blockbuster, I'm sure you can get it fairly cheap.

Se7en

Reservoir Dogs
Seven
The Usual Suspects
12 Monkeys
American History X
Donnie Darko
Fight Club
The Terminator and Terminator 2
American beauty

I also liked 25th hour although it was kind of boring in the middle.

the Requiem for a Dream and Pi DVDs are being packaged together for 17 bucks at Best Buy, director's cut/non-edited versions. One of the better DVD deals I've seen in a while. If you're into film, you need to get these two.

i got more, office space, full metal jacket, reservoir dogs, ferris bueller's day off, Falling down and four room...

i didnt see four rooms yet but it was made by quentine tarantino so i'm sure its good...

GOT ANYMORE RECOMMENDATIONS?
please tell me anything thats worth buying!(according to my list, so no girly movies)

All the episodes of Freaks and Geeks are being released in a boxed set April 6. There's a special edition, too, for hardcore fans.

Freaks and Geeks?? not something i know... what is it exactly?
