My DVD Collection (online)
The complete collection just keeps growing and growing. One of the
biggest factors being the 50% sales that
Columbia House runs every 3-4 months. I get to stock up on movies for
$10-12 each. Deep Discount DVD
is my other favorite source. Their pricing is usually the best and they
build in the shipping charge so I don't fret about ordering enough discs to
cover the shipping charge.
Movie Recommendations
I love to watch movies. Especially DVDs on a widescreen and with great
sound. I have MANY favorites. Everyone knows the Matrix and other
popular movies are great. I do too. Here are some interesting titles
that I like, which aren't as well known:
- Conspiracy Theory -
Action/mystery with Mel Gibson as a great paranoid and Julia Roberts as the
straight lawyer.
- Hudson Hawk - Tongue in
cheek heist movie with Bruce Willis as a happy go lucky art thief.
- True Lies - Arnold S. as
a spy and Jamie Lees Curtis as the house wife that gets caught up in the
escapade.
- The Whole Nine Yards -
Bruce Willis as a mob witness planning a heist while living in a suburban
neighbor hood. Very funny action movie.
- Real Genius - A family
favorite, the escapades of a bunch of brilliant minds in college. Not
your usual nerd film.
- American President -
Romantic comedy about a single president and his significant other. Good
chick flick.
- Dave - Comedy about a guy
(Kevin Kline) off the street that gets asked to stand in for the president.
Not slapstick, but very engaging.
- Blast From The Past - Time
shift with Brendon Frasier as a 35 year old who was raised in a bomb shelter
for 35 years and is seeing the world for the first time. "The sky!
Have you ever seen anything so beautiful!"
- The Closet -French film
about a guy about to be laid off who pretends to come out of the closet to save his job.
- The Cutting Edge - A family
favorite romantic comedy set against Olympic figure skating.
- Overboard - Goldie Hawn as
a rich heiress who looses her memory and is 'adopted' by blue collar Kurt
Russell to take care of his kids. A favorite for the whole family.
- Groundhog Day - Bill Murray
lives the same day over and over with all the experiments of what you could do
if you knew what was going to happen every day.
- Housesitter - Goldie Hawn
moves into a vacant house owned by Steve Martin and tells all she is his new
bride.
- The Man Who Knew Too Little
- A very funny adventure with Bill Murray as a unwitting foil to an attempted
international plot.
- Grosse Point Blank - John
Cuzak as an assassin who returns to his high school reunion. The
funniest is as he tells everyone who asks his true profession and they laugh
it off.
DVD Resources
The site that displays the movie details, linked above, is the
Internet Movie Database. On this site
you can also set up a collection of your own movie. I used it for quite a
while but for my personal collection I have now switched to
DVD Profiler.
It isn't as searchable on line as IMDB, but it has a great PC application that
runs stand alone on your PC to manage your library while retrieving all the
database info from a central site.
In DVD Profiler locally creates a database and can print a wide variety of
customizable library listings suitable or coffee table browsing or library
inventory. A very well done application. Additionally, you can post
your library on their site for others to view. Here is
my
collection online.
