My 14 y/o nephew is getting a portable DVD player for Christmas and I want to get him some DVDs to watch on it. I'm looking for some recomendations. Any suggestions.

Ask him?

There's an awful lot of right answers here, but I'd suggest Batman Begins for recently released, or all the Lord of the Rings if you want to splash out.

Or take him out, give him a limit to spend to, and let him roam free to pick.

I did ask him, but he's in that stage where he's giving one word answers to questions. Also it's funner for me to post it here and see what some of the answers will be.

Have you checked to see if he has an Amazon wishlist?

Can you give us any examples of movies you know he likes? What I'd recommend for someone who likes The Princess Bride, Labyrinth, and The Goonies is different than what I'd recommend based on, say, Die Hard and Terminator...

Also: the Firefly boxed set.

exactly, they invented gift cards for a reason, so 14 year old kids dont have to act like they are happy to see some crappy movie an old guy picked out, when they open the package you got them for xmas.

Good call on the Amazon wishlist, Mero.

You can also give him a gift certificate at the local DVD shop or Amazon etc. This would be a very fun way for him to get really excited about picking out exactly what he wants, and is almost guaranteed to get him more excited about his choices than what you would give him, if only because he chose them. Whatever you get him anyway, after he finishes it, he'll instantly be thinking about the next movies and wish he had them instead.

Team America and... a few seasons with Seinfeld
