I am looking to add to my DVD collection now that i have a stereo system. I am cheap and only want to buy action/fantasy/science movies. But only movies with good sound effects and good transfers. I only ask for that because sometimes good movies are not transfered well, and then you buy it, and then the 'Platinum' edition comes out 1 year later.
Thanks

Run, don't walk, and get the Lord of the Rings (both I and II) deluxe extended editions. Awesome sound, and picture. Not to mention the movies aren't half bad.
X-Men 1.5 and X-Men 2 are both good as well.

I agree with Spiff... There is the new boxed set edition of Xmen 1 and 2 and both have the DTS tracks. It awesome.

Why get the Alien Quad when only the first two movies are good?
Black Hawk Down, We Were Soldiers, Thin Red Line(thinking mans war movie, though), Die Hard Trilogy, T2, Gladiator, Star Wars Episode 2, Matrix 1 and 2.
That is just a starter.
Oh, and I let Saving Private Ryan out on purpose. Overrated, overbloated, full of cliches. Empire of the Sun and Schindlers list are both superior WW2 film by Spielberg.

How about the Indiana Jones triology?

btw...slightly off topic, but I saw Lord 3 last night. (Damn I'm tired) Awesome. When this one hits DVD, it's going to work your subwoofer over real hard.
