In Reply to: OT - DVD shopping on Amazon. Any suggestions. posted by Donnacha on June 19, 2002 at 02:51:40:
"Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters" Incredible movie about the author Yukio Mishima, written and directed by Paul Schrader. Not a whole lot of bonus features, but I think it's a movie well worth having a quality copy of.
"Rushmore: Criterion Collection" One of my favorite movies, with great bonus features (although I'd much, much rather have Bill Murray sitting in on the commentary than Jason Schwartzman). It's got: Cast Audition Footage, The Making of Rushmore, The Charlie Rose Show, featuring Wes Anderson and Bill Murray; The MF Players skits from MTV, and lotsa little nicities.
"Toy Story 'Toy Box' Box Set" Every movie geek (or just plain geek) wants to know how Pixar does all that killer computer animation, right? I bought Toy Story 2 for my wife and ended up liking it so much I got the whole three-DVD set. More bonuses than I could list...
Oh, and there's some movies by some guy named Kevin Smith which are pretty cool. They've always got great audio commentary...
