What's the nicest DVD's you own?

[The Curmudgeon]

Now, by "nice" I'm not asking you to list your entire Disney collection. By "nice" I mean - cool. Deluxe. Special. The boxsets or special editions that make people go "ooooh" when they see them.

In the world of DVD, "Special Edition" isn't very special anymore. So it takes something very cool nowadays to warrant bragging rights. Here's my faves..

Battlestar Galactica "Cylon Head" Boxset.

www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Complete-Limited-Packaging/dp/B00005JM3C

My very newest DVD, and its a show I've never actually seen. But I just couldn't resist that packaging.

King Kong 1933 2 Disc Tin

cgi.ebay.co.uk/KING-KONG-LTD-TIN-COLLECTORS-EDITION-DVD-1933-NEW_W0QQitemZ150172924647QQihZ005QQcategoryZ2288QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

There are far too many lacklustre DVD's given the "tin" treatment, but this is a suitably epic looking boxset for, well, one of the most important films ever.

Phantasm 5 Disc Sphere

www.amazon.co.uk/Phantasm-Sphere-Collection-Don-Coscarelli/dp/B000B6F8OG

Another thing I had never actually seen before, the quirky boxset had me sold (and I got it from a trade site anyway).

Hellraiser - Lament Configuration Boxset

www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/181010/Hellraiser-Lament-Configuration-Box-Set/Product.html

The first three films before the rot set in. Strange choice of packaging though - don't they basically tell you throughout the movies - "DON'T open the box"?

Sharpe: Complete Epic Series Wooden "Ammo" Boxset

www.amazon.co.uk/Sharpes-Limited-REGION-1-NTSC/dp/B000E1NWPA/ref=sr_1_23/203-3149755-5395136?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1193573393&sr=1-23

This wasn't my idea, this was my wife's "Must Have". After sitting through 15 of those feature length fucking shows I felt like I had been through a war myself. NEVER AGAIN.


So that's my first pick just now. Anyone else have any nice but pointless items?

[trashcanman]

My picks are going to pale in comparison to that extravaganza of cool since I'm more of a stick-to-the-basics kind of guy, but here goes:

My favorite and one at least one of you guys -if not all- probably have as well: www.amazon.com/Evil-Dead-Book-Limited/dp/B00005RYLE/ref=sr_1_2/103-0070110-4183006?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1193713694&sr=1-2

Too bad I won't double-dip or I'd get the second film's companion edition as well.

That's the only really unique DVD packaging I own, but I love these boxed sets as my children: www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Collection-Reloaded-Revolutions-Animatrix/dp/B0002Y69NG/ref=pd_bbs_2/103-0070110-4183006?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1193713883&sr=1-2

www.amazon.com/Lone-Wolf-Cub-Box-Set/dp/B000AYNFVC/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-0070110-4183006?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1193714002&sr=1-1

Hey, that last one only has 7 customer reviews! I've got work to do.

[InvisibleWolfMan]

Well, I agree with trashy about EVIL DEAD (got it AND ED II: BOTD). I'll do him one better though on the MATRIX set:



Then there's my STAR TREK: TOS sets:






I've got the PHANTASM Sphere, KING KONG 2 Disc tin and HELLRAISER lament Configuration Boxset just like Curmy but out of all of these...NONE of them can hold a candle to the AWESOME mighty stare of "Roddy McDowall.............." AS CEASAR!!!

[The Curmudgeon]

I think we can all bow down to the awesomeness of that.

God DAMN I want that ugly head.

[trashcanman]

Nice, Wolfman, nice! I saw that Matrix set and was more than a little annoyed that it isn't any more expensive than mine. Well, at least mine fits on the DVD shelf so nyah! But I too must have that ridiculous POTA bust in my room. My wife may well leave me out of sheer embarassment, but still, I've got to have it.

Oh, and I must be retarded or something because I completely forgot my very favorite boxed set that I own. www.amazon.com/Monster-Legacy-Collection-Frankenstein-Dracula/dp/B0001CNRNO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-0070110-4183006?
ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1193865047&sr=1-1

I remembered because it's Halloween and no viewing of "Dracula" means no Halloween as far as I'm concerned
Awesome!
