I'm not asking for the best movies on DVD, I want to know the ones with the best extras. I got a player on friday and want to start off my collection right.

The things I'm looking for:

Making of mini-movies
Deleted scenes
Alternate endings

And if you know of any with hidden extras that would be appreciated too.

Although a bit more exotic my favorite feautres are things like special interviews with people. I got Silence of the Lambs and it has some killer deleted and some kick ass interviews with serial killers and the FBI Crime Classification Handbook. Gladiator has some good shit too. And G.I. Joe the Movie has funnypublic service anouncements like not to take another child's bike or not to stereotype people.

I'm just a cannibal looking for love.

i hate DVDs just because i have to buy so many, but i've got a lot of favorites...

Boogie Nights- for all the deleted scenes (i.e. Heather Graham getting naked again) are great and the director/actor commentary, plus the hilarious John C. Reilly Files which are just his improv outtakes
Magnolia- frank TJ Mackey infomercial that was acually aired in the middle of the night on TV and a "Making of" with lots of falling frogs
The Cell- pretty cool special effects features and edgier versions of scenes from the movie
Evil Dead 1 & 2- great movies on their own but the DVDs have great stuff. 2 has a mini-movie about a headless baby body that comes back to life...
i could go on for ever... i hate dvds

Thanks for the help guys, but since I have limited funds (ie. :My poor ass is broke because I just wasted a lot of money) Which would you say are the 3 to 5 best to get? I was planning on "The Matrix" no matter what. I haven't seen "Fight Club" but thanks to O&A I know the ending, I was planing on getting "Boogie Nights: The new line Platinum Series" Because I feel a certain connection to the subject. Did anyone else see the columhn in Maxim about the DVD extras?

Also I know of one store down in the village that buys and sells used DVDs. Do you guys know of any other shops like this or if you are willing to sell some of your old ones let me know.

i think the epidomy of what a DVD should be like is Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

Also:
Indepence Day
Fight Club
Se7en
MIB
Scarface
Doors: Special Edition
Blade


Do you know how pale & wanton thrillful
comes death on a strange hour unannounced,
unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly

  • MIB has good features, just look which version you get, the collectors edition has more than the regular one
  • U-571 has some killer interviews with cast and crew and the actual captain who commanded the actual ww2 capture of the enigma machine. really cool stuff, and the movie kicks ass on dvd to
  • Jaws has some cool stuff too, plus if you watch it enough times you can hear anthony doing the voice of quinn and the mayor
  • i know it sounds gay too have, but The Rock Says on videotape has some interesting extras. some of his best promos, pure entertaiment for those cold nights
  • Gladiator, its gladiator with more cool stuff than you can shake a stick at, enough said

Nice call face, i totally forgot about that one. definetly has the best rock promos at a click of the button. Made up for the dissapointing stone cold DVD. Has over 2 dozen great fuckin promos, when the rock used to be fresh and funny.

Also Definetly Gladiator another good choice.

I dont wanna start a rip off thread but what are some of the WORST dvd's you've gotten?

2001:a space oddesy - Even the print doesnt look all that better and pretty much nothing on the extras. The trailor and cast info is pretty much common place on DVD's.

Usual Suspects - worth it just for the movie, but i would have loved director commentaires on a movie like that.

Resevoir Dogs - another movie worth it just for the film. But nothing at all either.

Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory - well i have the nads to admit i bought it, but who could resist those nice hairless young men oooh and choclate covered mmmmmmm.

GS, that would be appreciated too. It's always good to know the ones that should be avoided. But the reason to buy a DVD player is for the extras. If I just wanted to watch the movie, I would have just stuck with my VCR.

I agree Hosp but there are those certain movies that are worth it to buy on DVD even without the extra's. Depends on your preference of movies. I love movies more than most and i appreciate every nook and cranny.

For me i would rather have Godfather on DVD right now fuck the extra's a remastered print would be awesome right now.

And ofcourse the extras make it that much better. Because Se7en was one of the 1st DVD's i got and i considered it worth it just for the movie. But then when the special edition came out about a month ago ofcourse it made it better and yeah i bought it again.
