Quote from: soylent greenishCITY OF LOST CHILDREN was the reason i bought a dvd player in 1984
this thread would be cool if ppl could stop lying for one second..

anyway the first bought for the TV dvd player must've been A Clockwork Orange.

I can never for the life of me remember what my first was, but my first three were: Badlands, Days Of Heaven, Leaving Las Vegas.  I didn't even have a fucking DVD player at the time, I seriously just bought them to watch on other people's...

When I finally got my own DVD player, my parents gave me the Reservoir Dogs DVD for Christmas (the first edition)...

aw
THIS IS NOT AN EXIT

I got the first disc back when I was 12 and pokemon was hot shit and I was amazed that there could be such an interesting animated series as Lain... I didn't get to see the rest of the series for a couple years though, but I really enjoyed it... the music's great too. I recently watched evangelion, though, and Lain is kind of a rip-off of the ideas from there, but it's still a great series on it's own.

Ghostbusters.

One Christmas, my parents got me a dvd player and some discs. This was the first one I popped in. Watched commentary right off the bat, if I remember correctly.

I recall going out on boxing day and getting Reservoir Dogs, Casino, and Boogie Nights -- my top three movies at the time. So cool.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Almost Famous.

The animated menus had me mesmerized.

And P, Lain absolutely rocks.  I own all 4 volumes, and it confuses the hell out of me!  I love it!  :-D

Boogie Nights single disc an Criterion edition of The Killer. Unfortunaltely, I hadn't bought a player yet and I had the wonderful idea of getting a DVD-rom which my old computer could not really use : the TV-out didn't work and the playback slowed down each time there was movement in the shot (which made the viewing of the opening of BOogie Nights a real pain...)

First DVD was Out of Sight and I'll never forget the excited tingle that went through my body when the Universal title card appeared. I'd never seen a picture quality like it outside of cinemas. (You got to remember I was the first person in my circle of friends to buy a player, so up until that point I'd never actually seen just how good DVD picture quality could be. I'd never seen a laserdisc, so it was all new to me). I knew from that moment that I was going to be spending A LOT of money on DVDs in the coming years.

The day my DVD player arrived I went out and got:

in 2 for £20 sale

The Cell - I was told it was pretty messed up
American Beauty - It was so good at the cinema I had to own it
Way of the Gun - blind buy, it had gun in the title and back of the box made it sound badass.
Bring it on - Blind buy, the cheerleaders on the front drew me in!

I think I played bring it on first and I too was so impressed with the picture and sound quality that I knew I was gonna be buying a few more DVDs! (I’ve just tipped 250 disks) it was the format that made me a film geek! For the first time I could see a clean clear picture and hear everything!
"There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high - water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." - Hunter S. Thompson.
