Not very proud to say 'The Sweetest Thing' lol
mine was the emperors new groove!!! HAHAHA!!!!
Criterion Robocop and South Park: BL&U were the first. After that I think it was The Matrix and The Spy Who Shagged Me. I went for region one from the start, but I bought The Matrix and TSWSM in the UK because it was two for £30 in Virgin stores at the time. I soon regretted it when I found out one was cut and the other was missing a hidden feature.
Mine was The Patriot with Gibson in it. It was cool.
Contact - Jodie Foster when DVD was new in like '96
My first DVD was Ronin, then The Matrix but that wouldn't load on my first player so I had to get a new player to watch it. This is one of the reasons I probably won't get into HD formats early...

So you had it on DVD the year before it was made? Impressive.

Double Take and See Spot Run (I know, laugh it up, you'll be rolling on the floor when I tell you that I still watch these movies).
Psycho - Hitchcock
The Witches of Eastwick- I wanted to see it in the WIDESCREEN format for years

Our friends bought us that the other day when they went home to Italy. Only Italian DVD I have, and it's not bad.

In The Line of Fire. It had NOTHING on it, not even a proper menu. It cost me $45. I was hooked

Really? I hate that movie so much. I did my best to pretend I liked it as to not offend the people I was watching it with.
My first DVD was Taxi Driver. My mom gave it to me with my first DVD player as a Birthday gift in college.

That's pretty funny. Mine were The Matrix and Austin Powers 2.
More importantly tho, the first DVD I really felt was up to the level that the DVD format was made for was Fight Club. Still impresses me to this day.

I don't remember that version of The Matrix.
Mine was the Starship Troopers flipper, which looked amazing on my PC when I first tried it.

Armegeddon, O'Brother Where Art Though, T2, and Led Zeppelin's Song Remains the Same.
Mission impossible 2 for some reason was the first for me ,I really don`t know why as it worse than the first 1 but I made a mends by getting the then brand new 2 disk special edition of Seven HMMM
Don't worry. You're not alone with MI2. I too inexplicably bought this DVD (at a sale price I hasten to add) even though I disliked the film. I was more interested in the Special features on the disc (which were more interesting than the film) and the Ben Stiller 'Being Tom Crooze' bit.

Not a Metallica fan but it is a great video.
It's a shame as there are a lot of good things on the DVD.
My feeling on the film is that the parts (the action/stunts) are greater than the whole. The work done by the production/stunt crew is amazing when viewed in isloation on the featurettes. It's just when you see the work within the context of the film I personally just start yawning and looking at my watch. If the human characters are invincible, how can the audience be involved in the outcome of the many fights?
