[SkyNet]

mmm a toughy... but im bored shitless.. so i can think of 10

In no particular order (this is just DVD's and not my fav movies of the year)

ANCHORMAN GIFT SET (Even though this isnt released yet, i cant imagine i wont think this unrated cut plus all new film kick ass)

SEINFELD SEASONS 1-3

CLERKS X

GOODFELLAS: SPEC ED

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2 DISK SET)

ALADDIN

VIVA LA BAM: SEASON ONE

SPIDERMAN 2 (2 DISK SET)

MYSTIC RIVER (3 DISK SET)

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (2 DISK SET)

and now cuz im so fucking bored, ill explai why!

ANCHORMAN: Because this movie was hilarious, ,and its gonna be unrated.. PLUS in the gift set you get the whole new film culled from deleted scenes! Cant Wait

SEINFELD: I love TV on DVD... and im glad that these are getting released, and even glader we are getting these bad ass editions with them. I hope it wasnt just these initial releases that have all this awesome bonus stuff. And i hope they pump these out fairly fast.

CLERKS X: The original cut kicks ass, the actual ORIGINAL cut kicks ass.. and all the bonus stuff on the making of this flick kick ass. One of my favorite movies.. i was glad to double dip on this one.

GOODFELLAS: I had held off on buying the original release cuz it was a flipper. And then came out this bad ass 2 disk set with the full movie on one disk and bad ass documentaries on the next disk.

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: The 2 disk set is awesome, because not only was the case a change from the ordinary, but it came with a cool metal cover. And the bonus features owned. the documentary on Ed Gein was worth the purchase alone. And the deleted scenes on this flick were actually worth watching.

ALADDIN: Well this is my favorite Disney Movie of all time. o i was pumped for the DVD release. Thats pretty much it... i dont even think i watched any of the kid friendly dvd features... just having the flick is enough for me!

VIVA LA BAM- Season One: Always been a an of CKY, and when Bam and co got their own show, i was psyched. And it didnt disappoint. The show was funny as shit. And the dvd was awesome. The deleted scenes kicked ass (anyone see Raab Get hypnotized?) and the commentary tracks were great (and this is coming from a guy who HATES commentary's.. and never listens to em)

SPIDERMAN 2: The movie kicked ass. And so do the special featires that tell how they made the movie. Plus i liked the bonus boonus disk that i got free from Best Buy, the VH1 special on Spiderman.

MYSTIC RIVER: Bad ass fuckin flick. And the dvd is awesome. Even though i wasnt feelin the music on soundtrack, i was glad i didnt buy the 1 disk version in stead!

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN: Another one that i held off on buying for a better edition. Havnt really watched the bonus features on this one yet either, but still... bad ass flick!

[TNAJason]

BUMP! I'm really interested to see other people's Top 10,or like me 15.....

[Weapon X]

In no particular order:

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly - 2-Disc Special Edition
A blind buy during my trip to Las Vegas...boy did I make a good choice! The redubbed footage isn't perfect - sometimes Tuco sounds like he swallowed a steel wool pad - but I found the movie to be everything it was talked up to be.

The Ultimate Matrix Collection
So sue me, I loved all three. The Matrix is digitally remastered and colored to match the sequels, we get the extra scenes from Enter The Matrix, The Animatrix, and more featurettes than you could count on all your fingers, toes, and mechanical tenticles. Best multi-disc release since Alien Quadrilogy.

Hellboy - Director's Cut
This movie's grown on me everytime I've watched it, and the DC only adds to the good times. And I've only begun to start digging into the bonus materials...I'll be at this awhile.

Once Upon A Time in Mexico
Further proof positive that Robert Rodriguez is on of the hardest-working men in or out of Hollywood. Take the tour of Troublemaker Studios and tell me you aren't impressed with how much work this guy does independently.

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Platinum Collection
Only the first 4 of 7 volumes are out, but this is nonetheless a must-have for anime geeks (i.e. me). Not merely a rerelease of the last collection, but a total remaster of audio and video that makes a difference you'd have to be blind and deaf not to notice.

Predator - Special Edition
One from the "It's about damn time!" file. Not as comprehensive as the Alien series extras, and they could at least have cleaned up the video transfer (welcome to Grainy City, folks), but the featurettes do offer more than I'd already known about the movie, and it even had a nice tribute to Kevin Peter Hall. (And the free AVP ticket helped make the sale too.)

Spider-Man 2
Like it wasn't enough to make a sequel that left the original eating its dust. I haven't even had the opportunity to dig into the extras yet, but having the movie is good enough for me. I hear Raimi is adding new footage for an Extended Cut DVD - I hope they don't try to outdo this release for extras. They should just release a single disc to accompany to 2-disc set, like with Daredevil - and on that subject...

Daredevil - Director's Cut
Okay, so there's just a commentary and a featurette. The movie is the real star here. It's a vast improvement over the theatrical cut, and it fits right in with the original 2-disc set if you can find a 3-disc case.

Bubba Ho-Tep
The most unconventional adventure/comedy in ages, done justice on DVD, complete with commentary by The King...whether that means Elvis or Bruce Campbell, that's up to you.

LoTR: The Return of the King - Extended Edition
Yeah, like I even need to explain myself.

Am I the only one in the world who thought the Spiderman Series sucked ass?

Nope I too hated both the original and sequel. I found S2 just WAY too slowly paced for my liking.

Sigh, I guess i'm just too picky sometimes, but I really didn't like it, god knows I TRIED to and I went in with no expectations. I've come to the conclusion Spider-Man is all about how Raimi wants to show us Spider-Man, not how we should be seeing him.
