What's the first AND last DVD that you bought???

[LynneSin]

If you don't own a DVD player than let us know what was your first & last VHS you bought.

First DVD I bought was "Elizabeth" with Cate Blanchett and Joseph Fiennes. It was a great movie about the rise of Queen Elizabeth I (my favorite leader from history).

The last DVD I bough was "Under a Tuscan Sun" with Diane Lane (one of my favorite actresses). I know a place that sells used DVD and I was able to get it for $13 instead of $25 which is the price in the stores

1. The first purchase was a triplex --

"A Beautiful Mind," "Guys and Dolls," and "The Maltese Falcon." I showed them all in my Honors Game Theory class.

Last one would be "The Magic Flute."

2. First, I'm not sure.

I bought a handfull with my first dvd player. As I recall, Conspiracy Theory was in that first batch. Today when I went out for lunch I picked up The Day the Earth Stood Still, so that's the latest one.

[wysimdnwyg]

7. Last: Matrix Revolutions

First: Hmmm... let's see. Might have been Star Trek: Insurrection.

And while those two particular movies are both fairly lame, I DO own some good ones. (I've got about 150, so some of the HAVE to be good, right?)

8. DVDs are like potato chips and crack cocaine

Once you start you can't stop.

I love the format. Haven't counted them all but I have a bunch and still buy more.

I like the used market too, because a used VHS has a huge chance of being crappy or worn out, and all you have to do with a DVD is look at the shiny side, most of the time, and also any dirt wipes right off.

25. Could you imagine an addiction to all 3

Crack Cocaine, Potato Chips AND buying DVDs

First DVD was season one of Michael Moore's "The Awful Truth" (I bought it before I had a DVD player)
