DVD Purchasing Poll

[Defshep]

That is a good point. There are just some movies you love because of cheese factor. And if it has stuff blowin' up and a good score, well, that makes it even better. Big budget B movies can be fun. Pearl Harbor is considered a reference disc (I believe I've read this) for sound quality. I still can't watch it without snoozing, but I completely understand where you're coming from.

Story. All the rest is on top of that. Really,most my DVD's i havent even watched the extra's as i dont care. Sound is next important. 90% of my DVD's are action,Sci-Fi or Horror because those i can watch over and over.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I've NOT bought movies because of the story and sound etc more than I've consciously bougth them for the story or sound.

I rarely watch bonus features on even my most fanatic films. I find they just usually suck.

I hate movies with only Dolby Digital. (though these days I'm finding some very good DD soundtracks to be fair).

I'll pay more for widescreen and DTS, not an extra disc of crappy comments from the set cleaner.

Cool box/packaging doesn't really do much for me either, but if it's included I'm happy.

I try to only buy DVD's that I'll watch repeatedly over time. But I do own some I'm not proud of.

(no Van Dam or Pearl Harbour, but I do have a Dolf Lundgren flick that's pretty aweful)

I will say that i have the W of Oz and it does have some very nice extras, screen tests of different witches and little people,pretty interesting stuff. Thats how i buy,stuff i will watch over and over,J Bonds,Bourne's,Raiders,Ronin,replacement killers{very good},spider and X men/man,stuff like that i can always watch.

I think most of my liking "Pearl Harbor" really just comes from remembering what it was like to have those old fighters flying right over you at 50' above the ground. The sound of those engines just sends a chill up my spine, in a good way.

My dad remembered and he didnt like it at all.
