Alien Quadrilogy: I've watched all the special features, listened to all the commentaries, regularly watch the movies (and can choose between 2 different versions of each film! woo!)

Oliver Stone collection: I don't watch the films as often as I used to, but back in the day when I first got this, I soaked it up for all that it was worth. I watched all of the special features, and listened to all of Stone's commentaries on each film. Doing a quick calculation by looking at the set, considering which movies didn't have commentaries, and how Nixon actually had TWO commentaries by stone, ALONE (self-indulgent fucker), that's roughly 20 hours worth of commentary.


The Critic, Complete Series: I don't own many TV shows on DVD. I had the first 2 family guy volumes, but I ended up selling them, basically because it's on TV all the time now, thanks to syndication. But The Critic...this is one DVD I will never ever get rid of. Not because of the fact that it's not on TV, but because the show is just so damn good. Plus if I ever decide I want to watch the entire series, it won't take up much time, seeing as it only ran 2 seasons. But yeah, I watch it a lot, an have also viewed every special feature. (it has commentary by MAURICE LEMARCHE!!! HOW FUCKING AWESOME IS THAT?!!?)

My original Batman (1989) dvd made in '97 has gotten played quite a bit, but it has been put out of commission since I got the special edition.

Other than that, it's mainly recent comedies because people are always begging to borrow those from me.

Out Cold

I have over 500 titles and it always comes back to this cheap Disney crapfest(read: phenomenal). My favorite movie to pop in and (literally) check out. :p

Trainspotting - because the film is essentially just a series of short stories loosely tied together, I'm always popping it in to watch ten or twenty minutes of it.

Fight Club and Se7en - I'm not usually a commentary guy, but I never get tired of listening to Pitt and Fincher shoot the shit on these tracks. Even though he's not actually in the film, Pitt should do one with Downey and Fincher for Zodiac just for the hell of it.

As well, my James Bond, Spielberg, Tarantino and Scorsese DVDs have always been in pretty heavy rotation.

Moulin Rouge - I watched it so much, the disc wouldn't play anymore and I had to repurchase the movie
The X-Files Movie
The X-Files (All Seasons) - Those too, had to be replaced, since I bought all the seasons as they were being released (the original sets), and watched them all day, every day.

Easily, TRANSFORMERS. I haven't even had that thing 2 months yet, and I've probably watched it 20 times. Just crank up my home theatre system and rock out for 2 and 1/2 hours. I'm seriously going to need to buy a back-up soon.

I've also got plenty of life out of my SMALLVILLE and HEROES DVD sets.

The DVD that I own and have watched more than any other is...
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51EP2Q3QFDL._SS500_.jpg

For box set it's easily Hitchcock's Box Set, with out a doubt. I've watched Vertigo and Rear Window five times each, and watched others in the set multiple times.

For major special edition, it's definitely Fanny and Alexander 5-disc Criterion. Watched the 5.5h TV version four times.

The Simpsons: Seasons 1-10

I've watched those seasons so many times that I lose count. Its ridiculous. I also watch these ALOT:

Scrubs: Seasons 1-5
Arrested Development: Series
Futurama: Series
Family Guy: Seasons 1-3

And thats pretty much it. My Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon got extended use over the summer but not much lately. There are some I'm forgetting but these are the mains. As you can see, I like to rewatch my tv shows.

Depends on how you're rating it.

I love commentaries, and love to fall asleep to them, so if that's a criteria...

Any movie with commentary by...

Kevin Smith (& company)
David Fincher
Terry Gilliam
Peter Jackson (& company, & LOTR multiple commentaries)


... and that's not a put down in the slightest. I love their movies and commentaries. Just a nice way to drop off. Sort of like having a bed time story read to you.

Does Lesbian porn count? That list is a whole different matter with a whole different ending.
