I think it's just the box set that won't have the OAR disc in it; I'm pretty sure you can buy the widescreen disc individually.

Why do you say the 14th? Amazon says the 21st. I hope you're right, that would make a great birthday present for me!

Not sure what I want to buy on DVD this fall. All I know is that I want Aladdin and Mulan on DVD. That's about it really.

I like this idea for seasonal threads, that way we aren't randomly making new wishlist threads all over the place.

August
Ella Enchanted
Jesus Christ Superstar: Special Edition
The Passion of the Christ (maybe. Like I said in the other DVD wishlist thread, I'm waiting for the SE which is rumored for either a December or April release, but if I find this for dirt cheap I'll get it)

September
The Star Wars Trilogy
Home on the Range

October
Aladdin: Platinum Edition
Hellboy: Directors' Cut
Mulan: Special Edition
The Stepford Wives (maybe. Need to see it first)

November
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Spider-Man 2
The Golden Girls: Season 1
Friends: Season 8
Gone with the Wind: Collector's Edition

I was gonna buy the box set. But, I really don't think I would purchase a 1-disc Shrek 2 when I know it's gonna be re-released in a better version not too far down the line.

As for SW; woops my mistake. I'm not the best at typing...

Thanks Disneykid, though I know that wasn't exactly pointed directly at me.

And yes, I was going to buy the giftset before I found out it's only in fullscreen. Worst part to that is the second disc for Shrek 2 is included in that package!

Nice lists everyone! Keep 'em comin'!

there are only 3 films that i want to buy and they are:
Aladdin Platinum Edition
Shrek 2 (even if it isn't a 2-disc set)
Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban

there are a couple of movies that i might rent and they are:
The Passion of the Christ
The Three Musketeers
Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas

Of course it was directed at you since you're the thread starter! As for the Shrek giftset, I don't think you're missing much. I read somewhere (DVDAnswers, I think?) that the 2nd Shrek 2 disc isn't a supplement disc but some sort of animated short thingy recapping what's been going on in the films (hence why the set is called "The Story So Far").

Star indicates a possible buy, no star indicates a definite buy.
