Ouch.

DarthVader 2004 · 12-01-2012, 05:19 AM

Wow why is everyone so harsh about this movie here. I think its easily best looking trailer and movie out since maybe TDKR. This is Jackson not Lucas and I am willing to pay whatever it is to see this final trip to middle earth.

On the subject, I think Fellowship may have been the last VHS I ever purchased.

LOTR on VHS? Everyone should experience that at least once.

Must've been a giant VHS tape.

Neverending · 12-01-2012, 10:06 AM

Two tapes I guess.

Mine was the Alien quadrilogy. Oops.

DarthVader 2004 · 12-01-2012, 05:33 PM

My last VHS was The Two Towers but had to twitch to DVD for ROTK for didn't have the Extendeds no longer on VHS. I missed VHS because had quite the collection and they seemed to last longer then DVDs.

I don't remember the last VHS I bought. But for Christmas 2003, my aunt gave me X2: X-Men United on VHS even though I had bought the DVD like 2 weeks earlier.

EDIT:

I remember my last VHS. It was the first Harry Potter.

PsYkOoOoO · 12-01-2012, 08:00 PM

I don't remember my last VHS. I do remember renting LDs, though. Remember those giant discs? What a crazy invention.

**JBond** · 12-01-2012, 09:31 PM

Everyone's last VHS seems to be 2001-2003. Mine was 1998. What took ya?

Knerys · 12-01-2012, 09:50 PM

I think mine was The Matrix....so 1999/2000.

**JBond** · 12-01-2012, 10:01 PM

I have Titanic on VHS. That was probably a 1998 release as well. same with Tomorrow Never Dies, but I think I gave that away a long time ago. Though frankly, I never bought many VHSs. I wasn't into film back then and I taped everything from TV.

If I recall correctly, DVD's were ridiculously expensive when they first hit the market. Wasn't a DVD player like almost $200 back then. I remember mine cost like $100 and that was in 2002.

**JBond** · 12-01-2012, 11:01 PM

Yeah, probably. I think we waited a few years, even then. I remember our first player came with 10 or so WB DVDs. I could still pick them out of my collection, I bet. Like Phenomenom and Lost in Space.

**JBond** · 12-01-2012, 11:13 PM

These are probably my very first DVDs. They're Warner Bros. and they have those early ****ty cases. As you can see, they're a bit weighted towards the mid-90s.

Amadeus (1984)
Contact (1997)
The Fugitive (1993)
Gettysburg (1993)
Lethal Weapon (1987)
Michael (1996)
The Road Warrior (1981)
Twister (1996)

(I meant "Michael," not "Phenomenon." same thing.)

Justin · 12-01-2012, 11:14 PM

Haha -- Twister...I had that one too.

Neverending · 12-02-2012, 12:41 AM

Twister was the first movie I saw on DVD. My uncle is semi-rich and he got a DVD player, with a set of surround sound speakers, when it first hit the market in the late `90s. For some reason, Twister was the first DVD he bought. So, he invited the family to experience the future of home entertainment.

FranklinTard · 12-02-2012, 12:42 AM

fifth element was my first dvd.

Neverending · 12-02-2012, 12:53 AM

The first DVD I owned was Spider-Man which I got along with my player. 10 years later, they've held up quite well. When I got a blu-ray player, I gave my sister the DVD player and it's great to still see it working. My VCR didn't last as long if I recall.

My Fifth Element DVD says 1997 on it, it was a very early one for me too. Could have been the first I bought, for all I know, but I don't remember.

Tolkien · 12-02-2012, 02:37 AM

What the hell, I'll join in;

My last VHS was Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. I remember because I got the special edition box set.

My first DVD was Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. I remember because I'll never forget how stupid I was.

Deexan · 12-02-2012, 04:52 AM

No idea what my first dvd was. I'll have a look through the collection later. Just because one says 1997 on the back doesn't mean you purchased it then though, JIBBS.

PsYkOoOoO · 12-02-2012, 06:21 AM

I think mine was the theatrical version of LOTR:FOTR. I think.

sshuttari · 12-02-2012, 07:32 AM

My first DVD was the Mummy or the Matrix both... around the same time came out on DVD
