: Having great looking new transfers of the films isn't special enough?

I enjoy that a great deal, but I already owned most of his collection on VHS. I bought the DVD collection in hopes of a bit more than just a better looking picture. While I don't regret the purchase, I would have preffered a bit more.

: I think people are getting too hung up on "special features" nowadays. It used to be that you bought movies because you LIKED the movies, not because of the "special features".

I wouldn't buy a DVD solely for it's speacial features. However, I wouldn't neglect one because it was lacking either. I was making the transfer from VHS to DVD with a bulk of my favorite flicks. My real argument was the fact that movies I genuinely adore, I would be happiest if we could have a bit more "behind the scenes" or a simple commentary. Afterall, your DVD provides that. Why? Because you understand what your fans want that. That simple.
