Put these in order...

Given that a lot of people on this board own a lot of DVDs, I was wondering if you guys could enlighten me on which of the following titles I should buy, and in which order (i.e. best ones first):

Region 1:

A Bug's Life - C.E.
Apollo 13 - C.E.
The Burbs
Good Will Hunting (Canadian)
Licence to Kill
Running Time
Pulp Fiction (Canadian)
The Thin Red Line

Region 2:

Batman
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Die Hard
The Fifth Element
The Mask of Zorro
The Mummy
Speed

Region 0:

Night of the Living Dead (Elite)

And out of upcoming DVDs:

The Abyss
Fight Club
The Sixth Sense
TWINE

This would be a great help, as I have a limited budget and want the MUST BUY DVDs first!

Region 1[list=1][*]A Bug's Life - C.E.[*]Pulp Fiction (Canadian)[*]Apollo 13 - C.E.[*]Licence to Kill[*]Good Will Hunting (Canadian)[/list=a]

Region 2 (why?)[list=1][*]The Fifth Element[*]The Mask of Zorro[*]Bram Stoker's Dracula[*]Die Hard[*]Speed[*]The Mummy[*]Batman[/list=a]

Region 0 and upcoming[list=1][*]TWINE[*]The Sixth Sense[*]Night of the Living Dead (Elite)[*]The Abyss[/list=a]

Hope this helps

I live in the UK, and am soon to buy a multi-regional player. I currently own a Region 1 only, but now more and more titles are coming out here in the UK, I thought it was time for a change. Region 2 discs, when done right, can be better than their R1 counterparts. All the ones I listed under R2 (excluding Batman and The Mummy) have more extras than their R1 versions (making of on Fifth Element, and on Dracula, and on Die Hard, and anamorphic on all, including Fox titles), as well as being in the far superior PAL format.
That answer your question? ;-)

Rather than rate them, I'll just give my opinions on them.

Region 1:

A Bug's Life - C.E. Excellent disk set--a MUST buy!
Apollo 13 - C.E. Have not seen this disk personally, but the supplements are supposed to be excellent (and so is the movie--which I did see way back in the theatres).
The Burbs - Love this movie!! So much demented fun, and the best role Bruce Dern every played!
Good Will Hunting (Canadian) - Excellent movie, and from Canada its anamorphic!
Licence to Kill - So-so Bond film in my opinion (I didn't care for Dalton).
Running Time - Haven't seen it.
Pulp Fiction (Canadian) - Excellent movie, and from Canada its anamorphic with extras!
The Thin Red Line - Thought this was more of a "oooh, look at the scenery" movie with no real substance or story.
