Title: I have a $100 gift card...
Post by: TheVoiceOfNick on December 24, 2003, 09:27:27 AM
for Best Buy... what should I get?  I am nearly 100% certain I want only DVDs.... so i'm thinking of getting something I wouldn't normally buy with my own money... like a boxset... i'm always buying $20 DVDs, but am too much of a whoos to spend $60 on a 3,4,5-disc set.  So what should I get?

DVDs is the answer I guess... I dont know what you like but yes probably you should buy some boxsets that you'd never do with 100 bucks from your own pocket. Or you can get a bunch of great movies they have for $14.99.

The other day I bought a couple of seasons of The Simpsons and I felt empty... I spent a lot of money and had only two boxes...  :oops:

Im not buying any more box sets until Seinfeld and Curb your Enthusiasm though :)

It helps to know what DVDs you DO have...

I've never really considered buying The Godfather box set with my own money, but I might with a gift card.

Great Idea! I'm thinking about buying it myself.

If I had a gift card at the time, I would have used it on this, but, even still, it was money well spent:

Suggestions:

Indiana Jones box set
Alien Quadrilogy
Stanley Kubrick Collection
uh...

Family Guy Season 1-2
Family Guy Season 3

You can't go wrong with Family Guy.

I second MacGuffin's suggestion! The great thing is that it is inexpensive enough for you to also be able to afford the box set of Kieslowski's 'Three Colors' trilogy. With one gift card, you can get a complete set of some of the most essential cinematic works of the past twenty years! Hurrah!
