Your Favorite DVD Supplements etc
Here is a topic I don't think i've seen...we're been through lots of DVDs odf all kindsa crap. There are some discs, and disc sets, which have either a great number of good supplements, or just plain good supplements. There are also DVDs with crappy supplements or way too few. I wanna hear about your favorite DVDs not in terms of the movies but their SUPPLLEMENTOLE FEATURES.
My personal fave, and I have mentioned this disc before, is the Milennium Edition of Night of the Living Dead in that red plastic case. That disc is wonderful! With two commentaries and a real truckload of additional features...it is mindblowing. And it features a 5.1 reprocessed "stereoized" soundtrack for the film that is really a knockout. so tell it, show it, what's you fave. |
I quite like the Rocky horror picture show set..
it has the dvd and cassettes of the original show and audience participation |
The Re-Animator millenium edition has some really snazzy special features.
Also, the new(er) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid collector's edition (2-disc) has some amazingly insightful documentaries and commentaries on one of my favorite films. |
Shaun of the Dead (at least this version) had extras that put most dvds to shame...behind the scenes, really good stuff on effects, out-takes, talent profiles, er...the guys immitating sean connery, michael caine and the beetles...trailers, games, like ?4? commentaries....just a CRAZY amount of stuff. Seriously, best value dvd extras I've seen on a dvd.
Other than that, in general I like a good blooper-reel/outtake, and a few trailers (for different movies) on there...I think a dvd extra is a great advertising medium, and it's not shoved in your face, you look when you want to look. |

The DVD release of A Mighty Wind has a lot of crazy stuff- about 15 music videos by the fake musical groups that were in the film- all produced as if they were from different time periods, plus a full length feature on the concert they staged for the movie- showing all the performances in full length. Plus commentary track, and a feature on the making of. Really a great set of extras that gives you a greater appreciation of the movie.
|
There's a plethora of great stuff on the Alien Quadrilogy DVDs.
Mose decent asian releases, such as Limited editions come with tonnes of extras, sadly a lot aren't subbed. |
The Star Trek related dvds Ive hired seem to have HEAPS of different extras.
|
I really like the House Of 1000 Corpses DVD. I dunno all the extras are just overkill to me but whatever I'm still stuck in the VHS age!
|
Havent actually say down to watch the features yet, but the 3-disc Maltese Falcon set looks pretty damn sweet. Bunch of featurettes and such, plus two extra movies!
Hellboy has a pretty cool DVD, too. Kinda wish I had held out for the 3-discer, but the 2 disc version that I have still has some great stuff. Really indepth making-of stuff (A documentary thats longer than the movie itself!), character info files, and (my personal favourite) a bunch of old UPA cartoons:D. A couple of Gerald McBoing-Boing, plus a really cool animated version of The Tell-Tale Heart. In all honesty I dont really watch alot of features...I have alot of DVDs that sound like they have good ones, but not alot that Ive actually watched. |
I wouldn't mind hunting down the
whole stephen king dvd's . Em not sure but a long time ago i was told there was a complete set of his works out on dvd's.. like a boxed set. To date i have never found them.. :o |

There's a set on VHS with pretty much everything minus Sometimes They Come Back and maybe the Dark Half. It was one of those TIME-Warner kinda mailorder club things.
|
There is still cool stuff to be gotten on VHS. There were a few tapes put out that had special features also, and those were pretty cool. There was one "Day of the Dead" VHS tape that featured a documentary that's not available on DVD, can you believe that?
|
|
Yep....yep.....Terminator 2, awesome movie. Awesome extras.
|
I buy alot of DVDs just for the special features.
Don't go in the woods is a bad movie,but the DVD from Code Red is real nice.:) |
I actually went to a DVD signing for that Don't Go In The Woods movie. And I watched some of the movie afterwards. It was a hoot!
|
Don't go in the Woods is so bad it's funny.:D
|
I'm going to have too go with two other people in here with "Dawn of the Dead the Ultimate Collection".
|
I liked the Twitch Of The Death Nerve menu how you could skip to your favorite kills.
