Best Fall for Big DVD Releases?

Post by Luke »

Either 2000 was the first big Fourth Quarter of major DVD releases, or it was just the first I took notice.

Anyway, which crop of major end-of-the-year DVD debuts is the most noteworthy batch to you?

2000: The Ultimate Toy Box, Jurassic Park, Fantasia Anthology, Men in Black

2001: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars: Episode I, Shrek

2002: Beauty and the Beast, Monsters Inc., Lilo & Stitch, Spider-man, Fellowship of the Ring, E.T.

2003: The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean, Sleeping Beauty, The Two Towers

2004: Aladdin, Star Wars Trilogy, Gone with the Wind SE, Mary Poppins 40th Anniversary, Mulan SE, Spider-man 2, Shrek 2

I only included the big highly anticipated catalogue debuts and some top-selling theatrical releases. Feel free to add to this or correct me somewhere.

I know we haven't seen these 2004 DVDs yet, but it's more of a question of the movies involved than the DVD content.

well for 2004 we also have Mulan, Home on the Range, and Shrek 2 (since you included the original Shrek on your list) so I guess I'll vote for 2004 :)

Out of the lists you comprised, I'd say 2003 seems the biggest, but those lists only contain a fraction of the great DVD releases there were.

I only started collecting in the fall of 2002, but so far, this fall seems to be the biggest. Usually in the fall my plate of must-have releases is pretty full, but this year it's absolutely overflowing! As of all the currently announce titles my must-have list consists of....

Star Wars Trilogy, Return of the King: Extended Edition (if Mary Poppins, a December release, counts, then this does too, right?), Aladdin, Mulan, Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, Harry Potter 3, The Bourne Supremacy, The Princess Diaries 2, Van Helsing: Ultimate Edition, Gone With the Wind, The Iron Giant: Special Edition, Mary Poppins: Special Edition, Batman: The Animated Series: Volume 2, Superman: The Animated Series: Volume 1, Spongebob Squarepants: Season Two, Alias: Season Three, Smallville: Season Three, and 24: Season Three.

It's absolutely crazy. I'm making more money this year than I have in previous years and I still can't afford everything that I want! (a note: the above list is comprised only of must-buys, there are numerous other releases that I also want)

(forgive me if I totally missed the point of the thread, I just don't think that it's fair to sum up each fall with only four or five big releases)

Anyways, cool thread!

2004, definitely. This is the most jam-packed 4th quarter I've ever seen. Each month has at least 3 releases I want, which hasn't been the case any other year (though last year was pretty packed, as well).

2004: Star Wars trilogy, Harry Potter 3, Shrek 2, Spiderman 2, Anchorman (I'm not sure if it comes out in 2005 or not), Mary Poppins: Special Edition, Aladdin: Special Edition, And Mulan: Special Edition. Whew! I know the second I send this message in, a DVD that I'm going to get that I forgot will pop in my mind and I'm going to have to kick myself.

I was going to vote for 2003 since we bought all the DVDs except for Indiana Jones in the given list. Then I looked at 2004 and I knew we were going to buy/rent all the DVDs listed. Also, I like the set of Disney movies in 2004.

Luke, how could you not include LOTR 3: Extended Edition! It's most certainly a bigger release than Mary Poppins or Mulan! :evil:

Definitely 2004. However, 2003 was a pretty big fall for DVDs, too. I expect 2005 to be even bigger (and my wallet sobs).
