Which DVD should I get? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Ravenous · 01-02-2003, 04:15 AM

I got Spider-man and Taxi and since I bought those 2 DVDs I can pick a free one. Im not too sure on what to pick because none are that great (only Black Hawk Down and Stripes and Im waiting for the SE)

These are the three Im thinking of though:

Resident Evil
The 6th Day Special Edition
Not Another Teen Movie

Which should I go for?

orf · 01-02-2003, 04:21 AM

Resident Evil. The other two are shit. (Resident Evil is too, but not AS shitty)

Darksim · 01-02-2003, 05:26 AM

Resident Evil?? Nah. Come on, a videogame movie? have u seen a videogame movie that was decent?? go with 6th day...it's a good action flick with humor. I saw this in the theatre and I thought it was fuckin sweet. trust me ;/

Mr. McMinn · 01-02-2003, 05:28 AM

Go with Not Another Teen Movie, man. Great popcorn flick. Tons of extras too. To good to pass up.

Well, I'm a big popcorn flick kinda guy, so I liked Resident Evil. I also liked Mortal Kombat and Tomb Raider. Now I just wish they would make a movie of Halo...

Agalloch · 01-02-2003, 07:00 AM

Hey man, wait on Resident Evil...supposedly a better SE is in the works. Not Another Teen Movie is pretty funny, but I don't know if it'll last. The 6th Day SE is actually pretty nice and a pretty darn good flick, underrated...of those to choose from, I'd get The 6th Day.

Muah'dib · 01-02-2003, 07:04 AM

Don't like any of them but out of the three I like 6th Day the best.

Bladerunner · 01-02-2003, 01:34 PM

I haven't seen Not Another Teen Movie.

Resident Evil, as previously stated, has a special edition coming.

I'd go with The 6th Day....good movie.

Drexl · 01-02-2003, 03:56 PM

Are The Bridge on the River Kwai and On the Waterfront too old for you to consider, or do you already have those? Granted, there's a 2-disc LE of TBOTRK, and the one you could get free is the one disc edition, but the transfer is the same.

asphodel5 · 01-02-2003, 04:49 PM

Based on your choices, I voted for Resident Evil. It's not the best, but it was an entertaining little horror movie. I saw the 6th Day with some friends when the DVD first came out and we all ended up bored out of our minds because nothing seemed believable or orignal. I haven't seen Teen Movie, so I can't comment on it.
If you are at all interested in something older, I second Drexl's suggestions.

j45rpm · 01-02-2003, 05:22 PM

Out of the three, I liked 6th Day the best. A decent film, somewhat thought provoking, and worth seeing.

Cap42086 · 01-02-2003, 07:25 PM

Resident Evil also has a Superbit out there. My friend picked it up and I have to say that even the improvements were subtle, they are definitely worth the investment. Can't go wrong with DTS.

***Wirehed*** · 01-02-2003, 07:49 PM

Of the three you listed I would go with Resident Evil, fun action/horror movie with two hot chicks and it has zombies.

I thought the 6th day was horrible. If you like Arnold, it's best to stick with his classics, anything past True Lies is just plain crap.

sub780lime · 01-02-2003, 08:43 PM

i would go with the Resident Evil Superbit

keiths · 01-03-2003, 03:28 AM

For me, I can keep coming back to Resident Evil time and time again. Great action flick, music/sound keeps you in the mood, the actors/actresses do a great job. It's no oscar winner, but it always pulls me out of a blue mood.

As for the superbit edition, if you have the equipment to enjoy superbit editions then great but will you be getting that much more with a superbit edition of Resident Evil?

Stripped from this version are audio commentary and supplementary material found in the original release.

With the Superbit release, you do get a DTS track which is a bit fuller and also the possibility of an improved image (depending on your display, YMMV), but the DD track from the original was already great and the commentaries by Milla and Michelle are awesome and funny.

Go with Resident Evil? Sure!

Which version? Your call, you win either way.

Reaver · 01-03-2003, 03:46 AM

Aren't Superbits now coming out in those delux version though? You know, with all the extras (except for commentary tracks of course) on another disk? I thought they were, and RE was one of them. If I'm mistaken, let me know.

Nope, RE was a Superbit barebones disc, not a Superbit Deluxe.

Ravenous · 01-04-2003, 08:55 PM

Well This is a tough choice!

You guys do realize that Im choosing which one to get for FREE right? Im not debating on what to buy. So Superbits or anything are out of the question.

I dont Have The Bridge on the River Kwai, but Id rather get the special edition above this one. And Ive never seen On the Waterfront.

MickeyKnox · 01-05-2003, 12:00 AM

I thought 6th day was good..

Donkey · 01-05-2003, 07:21 AM

I'd pick Resident Evil, but it's all your taste. I like The 6th Day and Not Another Teen Movie. For Free there all good, but RE is the best.

mtcarmel00 · 01-05-2003, 06:24 PM

I would go for Not Another Teen Movie.

SkottDMD · 01-06-2003, 01:14 AM

If you like horror and fun movies go with Resident Evil, if you like comedy go with Not Another Teen Movie. Both are great. I might suggest going to retail stores and see which one is more expensive out of the two first
