Tie: The Secret of Nimh, Predator 2, Equilibrium

3. A DVD you bought blind (having never seen the film), watched it, and immediately wished you hadn't purchased...

Yes, for the most part. Sometimes it takes me months to get to the special features though, especially commentaries. That's set aside for when I have time. I mainly watch the ones on horror, though, since I review those so it's kind of mandatory. Also for movies I really love....but others I couldnt care much about extra-wise, so don't really pay attention.

Brazil: Criterion Collection, Casablanca: S.E., The Thing: C.E., Minority Report, Pulp Fiction: C.E., Caddyshack, Sunset Blvd., Seven Samurai: Criterion, or Clerks: 10th Anniversary Ed..


I already have the first release of the thing and even though the new ones transfer was a bit better, I'm perfectly content with the current release,. When I saw Pulp Fiction years back found it overrated...have no interest in Seven Samurai, Sunset Blvd, Caddyshack (not that funny). , or Brazil (never heard of) Already have the collectors box of Casablanca so dont wish to buy anything else.
