DVD Recommendations

[ljshorty89]

On a similar note to what KOZ is doing, I'm heading to Best Buy with gift cards sometime over the next few days, and I wanna add to my DVD collection.

Right now, my collection is very small, but because a lot of DVD's are cheap there, I can get a bunch. Right now, I own:

The Dark Knight
Major League
All 3 Lord of the Rings movies
Seabiscuit
Fever Pitch
Bull Durham
The Natural
Talladega Nights
Friday Night Lights
Dodgeball
Family Guy Seasons 1 and 2
House Seasons 1, 2, and 3
The Simpsons Seasons 1, 2, 5, and 7
Team America: World Police
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Tropic Thunder
Knocked Up
Billy Madison
Air Force One
Field Of Dreams

I know for SURE I want to get:
The Express
Step Brothers

Now assuming money is no object, I'm looking for brainstorming. Basically, name some movies(especially sports movies) that you would recommend I look into.

Rudy
For Love of the Game
Team America
Boondock Saints

I actually have Team America somewhere. Will edit to reflect that.

The Express doesn't come out for a week or so unless you Syracuse people have special privileges. O_O


Knocked Up, The Incredible Hulk, Dan in Real Life, The Ocean's Trilogy, The Bourne Trilogy, The Sandlot, Hancock, I Am Legend, Ali, Rookie of the Year

[Kingdom]

Se7en, Fight Club, Panic Room, Crash, Smokin' Aces

[ljshorty89]

Well, my aunt works at a DVD distribution company, so I probably could get my copy early...but either way, I will probably make more than one trip, since I doubt I'll find all these DVD's in one place.

The Pineapple Express comes out next week, get that one too

The Ocean's Trilogy, The Bourne Trilogy, Rudy

Taking a note from KoZ's avatar: Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of the more underrated comedies of the last year.

[Foster]

Here is a few I havn't seen on someone's list yet...
The Great Escape
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Pulp Fiction

For a TV series...
Newsradio

[NYgiantsfan5689]

I second Pulp Fiction on Foster's list. GREAT movie.

Also some VERY good, but lesser known movies:
Children of Men
Man on Fire
Frequency

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is BRILLIANT my friend, just brilliant.
I'll echo the Bourne and Ocean's trilogies. Bourne is great if you're looking for some good action/spy thriller stuff (as is the excellent Casino Royale), and Ocean's are a lot of light caper fun with a great cast.
Good thrillers: Se7en and Memento are both pretty jaw-dropping, can't recommend either of them enough. Gone Baby Gone is one of the most thought-provoking movies I've seen.
My favorite 2 movies of last year (almost inseperable): No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood...TWBB is worth getting if just for Daniel Day-Lewis's performance, heavy but great, and NCFOM has a bit of everything - one of the great villainous performances ever IMO by Javier Bardem, some quirky comedy, some good action, a fantastic cast, etc.
And if you want another semi-sports movie...can't go wrong with Rounders. Awesome cast (Damon, Norton, Turturro, Malkovich), it's a lot of fun, and you get to see John Malkovich with a crazy Russian accent!

Dog Day Afternoon! YEAH! AND SERPICO!
