If you can't remember that's fine. For me it was probably Pulp Fiction. If you look at my DVD collection I know it's not in there. I have so much shit on my floor in my room.

I don't remember the first one I personally bought, my first 3 dvds were gifts and the first one I bought was for someone else. I got Toy Story 1 & 2 gift pack and X-Men with my first dvd layer. I bought my sister Coyote Ugly for her birthday shortly after. I think I then did columbia house deal and got Jurassic Park, Galaxy Quest, Blade Runner and the Matrix. I think the first one i bought for me was Happy Gilmore

Batman (1989), National Lampoon's Vacation, and Tommy Boy. That would have been back in 1999.

Ah, back in good ol' 1999....when the cheapest DVD Player you could get was 300 dollars. :mad:

But funnily enough, though, my whole reason for wanting to get a DVD player was because of these movies coming to DVD. So, obviously, I remember getting this set to break my DVD cherry. As for the second DVD I ever bought, well, I'm not too sure there....

i bought my first DVD's before i even had a proper player to play them on . the first two i bought were The Matrix and Fight Club . i remember buying them because i didn't want to miss out on them before i eventually got my player . i would open them and look through the inserts and the packaging since it was so vastly different than the VHS we were buying before :)

I actually obtained my first DVD as a contest prize. It was Emperor's New Groove back in 2001. The first one I actually purchased was X-Men. Even though I double-dipped on both since, I won't give up either. . . more sentimental than anything else.

Matrix was good but nothing I'd ever buy on DVD. Unless you have a fancy pants HD DVD player.

Right after I got my super sweet sound system / dvd player, I had to get the first movie I could find with DTS to truly put my beast to the test.
So I bought Pearl Harbor (2001) since it had a DTS track and THX certification (so I could properly adjust my TV with that handy THX setup crap). Ah, good times...

Ive been collecting for some 5 or 6 years now(wow its been that long). To this day I have never bought a dvd player. I have always inhereted, won, or traded my way to get one.

Ditto - I'm fairly sure that was the first dvd that I ever threw down my own money to buy, though if I can remember right, the first dvds that I got were Star Trek: First Contact, and The Sixth Sense - which came free with a computer that I brought way back when.

"Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" was the first DVD I ever bought, along with my cheap-o first DVD player. This was in the fall of 2000, back when most DVD's were still usually around $20...now I could probably get that title for $5! How things have changed. :)

I got my first DVD player for my birthday in March of 2000 and with it came Blade, The Matrix, and Deep Blue Sea...

The first DVD I bought was The Secret of NImh two years before that. I'm a collector. I don't remember the first movie I bought after I got the player. It might have been The Replacement Killers of all things.

I hadn't seen the movie in years. I originally saw it in Manhattan in 70MM and it looked amazing! I made it my first buy along with the DVD player back on Christmas Eve 1998. Since then I've added 1500 more DVDs including 3 more Die Hards! Yipee Kayaa!

I believe the first dvd I bought was Kingpin probably a year and a half before I even bought a dvd player to watch it on. The day I bought my dvd player I bought the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET box set and Boogeyman compilation dvd. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.
