Re: MUST own dvd\'s
[ QUOTE ]
i have so many dvds that i've bought and literally never watched, i hate it. i'm really beginning to think that there are MAYBE 10 dvds i should actually own. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe you're just grumpy. Anyway, I watch many DVD's repeatedly, and love it. How many DVD's you should own depends obviously on how much you like movies, maybe even how much you like art. There's no real number anyone could give to anyone else on that.

Re: MUST own dvd\'s
[ QUOTE ]
Why do these threads always turn into a "movies I really like" thread? There should only be a handful of must-have DVDs, and a majority of DVDs listed here are not must-have at all. The only one I can think of that absolutely every movie lover's collection should contain: Pulp Fiction. [/ QUOTE ] If you don't find at least a handful on my short list very, very good and rewatchable, I'm going to come out and say it's not just a matter of taste. You'd be wrong.

Re: MUST own dvd\'s
Spirited Away is not only just plain great, it is very rewatchable, which argues for owning it. It's very metaphorical, moody, and lyrical. There's a heck of a lot going on visually. There are a heck of a lot of mood changes and much is suggested or left to its own discovery instead of pounded home and made obvious or flat. It's hard even to imagine getting the most out of it you could without a good number of viewings.

I went to a preview screeening a good 6 months before its US release, and I was scared Disney would screw it up. This was my one experience in a focus group, and it taught me that focus groups are full of idiots and recommend the wrong goddam poster. Thankfully, the poster I liked was eventually chosen:  I worked up a surprising amount of angst over something that truly didn't affect me in the slightest. I guess that means the movie's good.
