Christmas DVDs... whadjya get? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Chris Knight · 12-24-2005, 10:08 PM

I know its a little early, but... what did everyone get for Christmas?

The verdict is still out on everything I got, but my wife gave me Evil Dead 2: Book of the Dead 2 Edition early because she said it was smelling up the clothes in her dresser drawers.

More to come... (hopefully)

Son of Nothing · 12-24-2005, 11:11 PM

I got the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection a week early, so you know what I've been watching all week.

Notoriousaurus · 12-24-2005, 11:34 PM

It isn't here yet, but I know that my mother bought me the 3-disc La Dolce Vita. I anxiously await its arrival...

Vigilante · 12-25-2005, 01:04 AM

I love that coverart. I haven't seen the movie, nor do I have the DVD.

George McFly · 12-25-2005, 01:35 AM

none

I got money wich I "turned into" DVDs

Seinfeld Season 5 & 6 also picked up a biargain DVD (Necessary Roughness)

saving the other $275 for the March ski trip

JakeLipson · 12-25-2005, 02:12 AM

We did gift exchange tonight and I got Million Dollar Baby and the 1-disc barebones version of The Phantom of the Opera. Yes, I've got the 2-disc already, but I intend to use the 1-disc as a loaner copy to all of the people around here who I keep telling to see it who keep telling me that they'll rent it...and never do. I'm basically taking away their excuses. Both widescreen

On the non-DVD front, I now own The Penultimate Peril (the twelth and, well, penultimate Lemony Snicket book.)

Welles and Ford Fan · 12-25-2005, 02:43 AM

none

I got money wich I "turned nto" DVDs

I have not opened any presents yet (it's still Christmas Eve), but I did get a $50 gift card, with which I intend to use toward the Harold Lloyd Collection.

One of the funniest movies of the year IMO although it did run a bit long so I don't know how the extra 15 minutes or so will affect it.

Monterey Jack · 12-26-2005, 05:54 AM

I blind bought The 40 Year Old Virgin and loved it, although that may have to do with how much the lead character resembles me...
