What's the Best Single-disc DVD release ever?

[DisneyChris]

Some movies, although not given a multi-disc DVD treatment, still provides a good amount of extras. Vote for which single-disc DVD you think is the best.

If its the best Disney single disc, I suppose it's Treasure Planet - but it could do with a better navigation system in the galleries. But hey, at least it includes the trailer (in R1 anyway)

For single disc releases in general, I think I would have to go for one not on your list - it's hard to choose but all of these are excellent discs:

Fried Green Tomatoes
Excellent film, excellent supplements and a music only track as an alternative soundtrack on the documentary.

All of the James Bond films apart from Die Another Day which is a 2 disc set
Again an excellent set of all round discs, with an excellent documentaries on most (although some of the later films are missing good docs)

Mallrats
An incredibly packed disc, with perhaps the longest deleted scenes in DVD history crammed on.

The Mummy
The Original release of Sommers' Mummy film was a packed disc with a wonderful documentary as well as other odds and sods.

In fact, Universal used to be excellent discs. True most of them may have been LD ports - The Thing, 1941, Streetfighter the Movie, Tremors, but they were good solid packages. Most importantly, they had no fluff - not even Streetfighter the Movie!

Even some of their later DVD only releases were fantastic (like Mallrats and The Mummy). One can only wonder what happened to them and the dross they turn out these days most of the time (unless poked very hard by Mr. Speilberg by the looks of it).

Anyhow, I think the best single disc release has to be Dracula (1931 - the original DVD release). Three versions of the film (Original, new Soundtrack, Spanish) plus an informative documentary, notes, publicity and trailer. Of course, the new Dracula Legacy Collection includes all this plus 3 more movies, but the original disc was a standout for me (plus it has a cool cover).

I picked Peter Pan, I know the 2 disc will be a lot better, but I really like the content on the Peter Pan special edition

To me, the best 1-Disc of all time is WB's Wizard of Oz: Special Edition. It has an amazing amount of material (it totals about 3 hours I believe, NOT including the extensive audio features), yet the picture quality remains fabulous. It has everything you could ever want for an Oz DVD with the exception of one thing - audio commentary. Besides that, though, it's a perfect DVD.

In terms of Disney, though, Treasure Planet definitely takes the cake. Even the way it's set up is reminiscent of a 2-Disc, and contains a solid amount of featurettes, galleries, and even publicity materials such as trailers and a music video.

Peter Pan for me!!!

Definetly James Bond, but I think Fantasia was good, but the anothology when greatly appreciated.

[DreamerQ18]

Lilo and Stitch for me of course then again my answer is more Biased than anything. I can't wait for this movie to be relased in its Masterpiece Edition .

I had to go with pooh.

I got that disc because it brought back memories but it's probably gotten more play out of me then I ever expected.

The making of was very interesting.

As far as Disney discs go, <b>The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh</b> is a favorite, as far as extras, movie, and presentation quality. <b>Hunchback</b> could have had more and it will eventually, but the inclusion of the very good Making-Of and commentary make it a very nice single disc release.

But I think some of the best single disc releases are the old Collector's Editions that Universal used to put out. Some lose points for not being anamorphic, but the documentaries and bonus features were really good. <b>Jurassic Park</b> and <b>The Lost World</b> were somewhat the last of that class, and are both really good. <b>To Kill a Mockingbird</b>, <b>Twelve Monkeys</b>, and <b>The Thing</b> all feature some quality documentaries.

<b>Remember the Titans</b> and <b>Newsies</b> are two other good single disc Disney releases, as are the pared-down Special Editions of <b>Escape to Witch Mountain</b> and <b>The Apple Dumpling Gang</b>.

I'd like to nominate "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" and "Pete's Dragon" even though they were light on behind-the-scenes material. Also do DVD-18's (double-sided dual layers) count as a single DVD? If so I think "Ben-Hur", "A Star is Born"(1954), and "Schindler's List" are outstanding.
