I don't know if there's a thread like this somewhere in here, but I looked through 6 pages and didn't see one. Sorry if it's a repeat!

I'm a movie freak and so I'd be interested in reading what the latest movie you purchased was (whether it be on DVD, VHS, DVD-R, pirated, bootlegged . . . even those guilty pleasures).

I found a great sale at Borders today:

The Man Who Knew Too Much
Rope
Saboteur
Family Plot

Last movies I bought were the 2/$20 used flicks at Blockbuster.

Hero & Napolean Dynamite



I don't buy a lot of movies - in the 4 years since I've had a DVD player I've purchased about 30 dvds. 7 of those make up the Sex & the City series and 3 are the EE LotRs. Really, not many.

I just brought home a copy of "Stepford Wives" (yes, the remake), that the library discarded (to make room for 18 copies of something new...).

My last movie was "Team America World Police," but my last DVD was the Muppett Show's first season!! I love Kermie!! My first pet was a goldfish named Kermitt...

I didn't know the Muppett Show was out on DVD. Nice!

During an out-of-print Italian movie attack, I picked up Johnny Stecchino and Swept Away on VHS from eBay.

My people do some nice cinema, I tell you.

Yeah, it's very cool. There's been a series of "greatest hits" out for awhile, but the entire first season was just released. There's even an option to add "pop-up video" type trivia!

I may look into that sometime soon . . .

I didn't buy these today, but they arrived in the mail today:

Shall We Dance (NOT the Jennifer Lopez/Richard Gere version!)
Follow the Fleet
The Barkleys of Broadway
Swing Time
Top Hat

I pre-orded the Astaire & Rogers Collection months ago so I'm way excited!

Agreed, Fred . . . agreed.

I LOVE this movie!!!! One of my all-time favorites ... I love the cute fat guy!!! And I loved the peek into the Japanese culture, how public affection is so rare, and part of the reason this film is such pure delight.

Awesome. Those extended versions provide so much more story. I am curious how many others own them?

I bought the SchoolHouse Rocks DVD(a collection of every School House rocks song that appeared on TV) and The Wedding Date.

Ooops. I just reread your movie collection, and realized you didn't mean the 1996 Masayuki Suo version, but the 1937 Pandro S. Berman version. Also delightful!

I have that, too! I loved watching those on Saturday morning when I was a kid.

Yeah, I was a little confused

Constantine on pay per view, all day ticket. It was just plain silly. And kinda embarassingly so, what with the acting and the plot and all that. (shakes head).

Word to the wise: Don't do it.

I also have the Shall we Dance movie(the Japanese version), and I really enjoyed it.


I may be in the minority here, but I also liked (but I won't buy) the Jennifer Lopez/Richard Gere version.

I actually haven't seen that version yet, Cookie, but I heard that it is very sweet. And I may be in the minority as well, because I also enjoy a movie that doesn't always have to have great meaning, but can just entertain and delight me for a couple of hours. (Although I don't like those those REALLY icky sappy movies that make me feel like I need a shot of insulin upon exit either ... yuk.)

I didn't purchase this, but a few weeks ago, I won Hide and Seek from a Channel 5 early morning news show contest for correctly answering what Dakota Fanning's real first name is. (It's Hannah, BTW). I haven't watched it yet, however. LOL. But hey, it was free!!!!

Today I bought Hitchcock's "Rear Window."

Recently, I bought the following dvd's:

all the president's man
much ado about nothing
a whole like love starring ashton kutchor and amanda peet



and I rented from blockbuster:


Born Rich

Today I bought "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963).

These three came in the mail today:

Bobby's World: The Signature Episodes
Bobby's World: The Scratch 'n' Sniff Episode
The Best of Abbott & Costello Vol. III

Waking Ned Devine.

zoolander!

The Trouble With Harry

Cowboy Junkies' Long Journey Home, recorded live in Liverpool. Just spent two glorious hours with it on our son's 52" HDTV with Dolby Surround.

Yes, it easily blows away the Open Road DVD, which was fine for its time. Have you watched the second disk yet? The interview with Pete and Al (especially the way Pete says "garage") is worth the price alone.

Nope, haven't seen Disc 2 yet.

I love the Open Road DVD, I had no complaints about the sound at all myself. "Fine for its time"?? It was released 3 years ago!

3 years ago was still the infancy days of DVDs. I'm not talking about the sound - I mean the content. The one thing I always felt missing from Open Road was a full blown show. There were two brief shows from Quebec and the accoustic set in Toronto. Not the same.

"The Great Mouse Detective"

Muppets Take Manhattan

Muppets Take Manhattan

Chris Rock - Bigger & Blacker
Richard Pryor 2 dvd set of: Here and Now and Live at the Sunset Strip

You have superb taste in comedy, Michelle. I think Pryor at Sunset Strip may be the most outrageously hilarious stand-up performance I've ever seen (it was really outrageous at the time).

ya know -- once you go black you never go back.

Thanks, buddy. I just like to laugh. And laugh hard. I went in to Borders looking for Carlos Mencia: Not For the Easily Offended but they didn't have it - he's harsh but funny as sh*t, check him out.

I forgot that I bought Margaret Cho's Revolution DVD the week before without seeing it first cause I love I'm the One That I Want and Notorious C.H.O. but I don't find it as funny - it's still good, but not near as good as those two.

Today I bought Toy Story and The Private Eyes. Has anyone seen the latter? Excellent comedy!

Also, today in the mail came Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation and Rocky & Bullwinkle Season 3.

To Kill a Mockingbird

in the wal-mart (yeah yeah, throw tomatoes at me later..) $7.50 bin:

How to Lose A Guy in Ten Days* ($5)

America's Sweethearts*

"The Ringer" was my last movie purchase. I loved it!!

The Aristocrats ... haven't watched it yet.

Oh Frederica, be prepared to lose a few pounds as you laugh your ass off.

last movie bought: Robert Roderiguez's Mexico Trilogy (El Mariachi, Deperado, and Once Upon a Time) for 16 bucks at the Wally World. and I don't really care if you throw tomatoes. I like tomatoes.

Some Kind of Wonderful (new)

I love High Fidelity
