What's in YOUR movie fest?
If you were going to do your own movie festival, what would be in it? Where would it be? DVDs, VHS, or actually get "real" movies?

I've had a few ideas for this. It'd likely be stuff on DVD, at my house - but I still need to get my hands on a multi-region/multi-standard player, so people don't have to all sit around my PC!
Last time I had a few people over, the Hitchhiker's Guide DVDs had just been released by the BBC for Region 2 (Europe) and, being impatient, I imported those rather than waiting for the NTSC/Region 1 release. And it was a pseudo-marathon due to the 3 hour runtime. But other ideas would be: Comedy fest: Episodes of Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, maybe things like Clue.... Disney fest: The collector's tin sets (Goofy, Mickey Mouse, Silly Symphonies), Black Cauldron, Fantasia (both of them), Winnie the Pooh. Pixar fest: Toy Story 1 and 2, Bugs Life, Monsters Inc. Animation fest: Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo, Underdog - and DangerMouse and Duckula if I can get a DVD player that plays PAL (apart from my PC again). Those discs, fortunately, are region zero. Sci-fi fest: H2G2 again, Doctor Who, maybe pick and choose some Star Trek episodes.... Oh and Tron perhaps. Foreign fest: La Femme Nikita (new special edition), Wings of Desire, The Princess and the Warrior.... |
DVDs if they could be found.
Weird relatively twisted and/or unknown stuff though. Ed Wood, The Watch The Favor and the Very Big Fish, The Whole Nine Yards, Raising Arizona, Little Shop of Horrors (both versions), Rocky Horror, Several Woody Allen movies, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Jerk, anything Monty Python...... *whew* I've got so many more to list. LOL |
OMG I keep thinking of more....
Small town movie theme.... Smoke Signals, Fargo, Oh Brother......... |

I have Fellowship on Video, DVD & Extended I have already ordered Two Towers on all mediums...DVD comes out in August And i have a standing order for Return of the King..... So i dont think i'm gonna need the boxed set LOL |
Well, here's hoping they won't toss in stuff into a 3 movie set that's not in the others (or available on its own).
I AM probably going to wait for all 3 to be out on DVD before buying, honestly.... |

I found it interesting that when a lot of people wrote obits about Buddy Ebsen recently, they talked about the infamous incident with the aluminum makeup, but nobody mentioned a) He was actually originally cast as the Scarecrow, but Jack Haley convinced him to trade (as the actor who'd done the part of the Scarecrow in the 1902 stage musical was something of a hero to Haley). b) Because of the late recasting, if you listen VERY closely to the soundtrack, when the threesome and foursome sing "Off to See the Wizard" it's Ebsen's voice, not Haley's! |
Until i know for a fact that there will be extra scenes....i will not buy it *LOL*
All three DVD are coming out with Extended version and with Extras on it....so in all honestly I cant see them adding even more to the Boxed set.... As it stands the extended of Fellowship is 4 discs...add to that the extended of the other two movies will make the boxed set 12 discs in total That would be a tad cost prohibitive for most folks....like i said i cant see it myself |
I won't disagree, but I also know there are such things as FOURTEEN disc sets for every episode of Monty Python (usually running at $200 US). And the 6/7 disc sets for a single (25 or so) episode set of Star Trek TNG or DS9 run just over $100 US.
Somebody's gotta be buying these or they wouldn't keep making them :) |
The first Extended to LotR cost me A$150, the second and third will i imagine be that or more total approx A$450
If they add in more material it would push it up over the A$500 mark....i couldnt pay that amount out in one hit I own the Buffy series(A$79/box...13 boxes) and numerous others too....the difference between them and LotR is that i could buy the Buffy series in sections Series are different make up to movies The original take of LotR will be way affordable in a Boxed set. But you are talking Extended...with even more material than the 4 discs offered now....i'll say again...dont think so...too cost inhibitive |
