These DVDs can cost a bit much, but I thought the extra features included with the Fear and Loathing DVD were well worth the price paid.

I don't know many of the movies on this list. If anyone sees a movie worthy recognizing, please post it.

Currently, I own:
Chasing Amy (Kevin Smith, 1997); Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Terry Gilliam, 1998); Kagemusha (Akira Kurosawa, 1980); Man Bites Dog (Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel & Benoît Poelvoorde , 1992); Seven Samurai (Akira Kurosawa, 1954)

I would consider purchasing:
Beastie Boys Video Anthology (Various, 2000); The Complete Monterey Pop Festival (D. A. Pennebaker); Insomnia (Erik Skjoldbjærg, 1997); The Last Temptation of Christ (Martin Scorsese, 1988); The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (Wes Anderson, 2004); Monty Python's Life of Brian (Terry Jones, 1979); Ran (Akira Kurosawa, 1985); Rashomon (Akira Kurosawa, 1950); The Royal Tenenbaum (Wes Anderson, 2001); Rushmore (Wes Anderson, 1998); Solaris (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1972); Spartacus (Stanley Kubrick, 1960); The Third Man (Carol Reed, 1949); Throne of Blood (Akira Kurosawa, 1957)

Thank you for your time and your bandwidth.

"Sid and Nancy"

Damn you I want that!

9/20/2007 9:51:15 PM

I think I only own Ikiru and The Royal Tenenbaums.

That sounds terrible... Their DVDs are awesome but they can be so goddamn expensive. I mostly just rely on getting Criterion editions from Netflix all the time, but it's rare that I buy one unless I fall in love with a movie. The next one I buy is totally going to be:

the criterion dvd of rushmore has trailers, screen tests, an episode of charlie rose, all of the mtv promo shorts that wes anderson directed, a production shot gallery, storyboards, and a whole shitload of exclusive illustrations by wes anderson's brother

for instance, wong kar wai's "in the mood for love" comes with the entire 70+ page short story that the movie was based off of.
