My latest DVD purchase


JoeinAR

Recommended Posts

I purchased a dvd the other day.

Its a film from the early 80's, from a respected director.

the title begins with an E.

there is an X in the title as well.

its about a boy and his friendship with a rather odd being.

It really goes without saying that it features some really terrific music.

Anyone care to take a guess?

Joe. :sigh:

So, which version did you get, EAJ?

The pan-scan, widescreen, or that ultimate set thingy?

Did the waterworks turn on when you watched it?

:oops: Can you believe i've never seen the it....

How did you manage that Mr fancy smanshy Neil?

Actually my purchase was Excalibur. The 1981 John Boorman film about a boy who meets a wizard, and becomes the king of legends.

Great film, love it to death, Trevor Jones' score is marvelous.

Joe, ever curious about where Neil got the 3 disc collectors edition for such little money.

Don't you mean Excali-bore? :sigh:

The web site I buy my DVD's from gives bonus credits every time you buy a disc. Save up 1000 credits and you get a $40 discount. :)

How's that Excalibur DVD, Joe? Does it have any interesting features/extras? I own the Laserdisc, but wouldn't mind getting such a fabulous film on DVD as well, if it's worth it.

Limited features, trailers, and a commentary by the director. He really admires this picture and he is entusiastic in his commentary unlike alot of people who see it as a chore. Good transfer and adequate sound.

Unlike Neil, who as we all know I rarely disagree with, I find this film exciting and visually engaging. Reminds me heavely of STAR WARS.

It's obviously not Mac & Me.  :)

Neil - who got the 3 disc set for $16.88 (including shipping!)

You bought E.T. 3 disc gift set for only $16.88? How did you do this, and where did you buy it?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info, Joe. I guess I'll wait a bit, since there are so many new releases right now, but you're absolutely right, this is a fantastic film and a must have in any sci-fi/fantasy fan's collection. It's also fun seeing Captain Picard as King Arthur's father in law. :)
