DVDizzy Forum

Alright, 22 people have signed up for this year's Forum Secret Santa. I'll be doing at least half of the random assignments today, which means 11 of you will know who you will be buying for.

Use this thread to help the person who will be getting you a present know your interests, or a list of specific items you'd like to get. If you have a list of DVDs you own, you may want to post a link to that so they can consider getting you something you don't have that they think you'd like. Or you could even just say a little bit about yourself (your age, hobbies or favorites) that could spark some gift ideas.

Post as many or few items as you'd like. Remember that the recommended amount to spend on this is $15-$20, and while there's freedom to go a little over that if you can/want to, you may very well just be getting one thing - be it a DVD, book, CD, or something else.

Feel free to post any questions you may have in this thread too.

Here is my wish list in order from best to lesser best (its not worse):

1. Mulan SE (mandatory slipcover)

1 tied. Tom and Jerry spotlight collection (the latest one)

2. THe great mouse Detective

3. Lion King 1.5 (slip)

4. Lion King 2 (slip)

5. Monsters Inc. CE

thanks

...

Well as far as DVD's are concerned, I would post a list of titles I already own, but that would take six weeks to organize so here's the next best thing - In keeping with Disney theme, here are a couple of BVHE titles I haven't gotten around to picking up yet (partly due to my reprehension of bilingual packaging blurbs). My secret santa holiday wishlist:



1 - 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: 2-Disc Special Edition

2 - The Absent Minded Professor: Widescreen B&W Edition

3 - Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - 3-Disc Special Edition - "The Lost Disc"

4 - Robin Hood: Gold Collection

5 - The Sword In The Stone: Gold Collection

6 - The Aristocats: Gold Collection

7 - The Fox & The Hound: Gold Collection

8 - The Brave Little Toaster

9 - Monsters Inc: 2-Disc Collector's Edition

10 - James & The Giant Peach: Special Edition



I guess these would be listed in order of preference.

From most wanted to least wanted:

1. Strong Bad Emails 3-Disc Set

2. Cinderella Story

3. Around the World in 80 Days Widescreen DVD(Luke's right, the tape really sucks )

4. Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui

Well, I'm just going to say. Surprise me. I strongly advise against anyone getting a DVD for me, as if it is something I'm interested in, I've most probably got it already.

A decent, informative book would be great, or some cool superhero action figures (Not Star Wars).

Good look finding somewhere that will ship to the UK for a reasonable price!

Also, if I get certain members from this site, I've already decided possible presents based on what I think I know about you from your postings. So I'll most likely ignore your list anyway. But who cares? A surprise is good, right?

Here's my list of things that I would like, not in any special order so you can choose whichever one:

1.) Dawn Of The Dead Unrated DVD (2004 Movie Widescreen, not Romero version)

2.) A Christmas Story Special Edition DVD (Widescreen)

3.) Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets DVD (Fullscreen)

4.) Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban DVD (Fullscreen)

5.) Britney Spears Greatest Hits: My Prerogative CD (I already have the DVD so don't get the DVD)

Also, all DVD's in region 1 please.

Cheers!

I've sent out 11 assignments so far.

These people should have received an e-mail telling them who they've got: 2099net, awallaceunc, Grunches, Just Myself, Maerj, MickeyMousePal, Paka, pinkrenata, Rebel, SofaKing381222, STASHONE.

To the other 11 people, hang tight. Someone may have already gotten you, but you'll be getting your assignment sometime in the next few days. I just want to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

(REGION 1; PREFER WIDESCREEN, AND SLIPCOVERS)

Well I'm going to post a long list, simply because I'd rather not have a specific idea of exactly what I'll be getting. This way it could be one of any number of items I want, and so it will be pleasant surprise, and gives you lots of options! I keep sort of a running wish list of my own, and I just went through and deleted the ones that don't fall in the price range, so here they are:

DVDS (from most to least desired):

*The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring 4-Disc Extended Edition (I sometimes see this for $20 in stores, but it appears to be much more at online vendors, so if that's where you are shopping, just disregard)
*Newsies
*Mickey, Donald, and Goofy: The Three Musketeers
*Brother Bear
*Return To Oz
*The Bourne Identity Special Edition with Slip-Cover
*Candleshoe
*Home On The Range
*Space Jam 2-Disc Special Edition with Slip-Cover (I think there's one, anyways)
*Billy Madison/Happy Gilmore Widescreen Collection
*The Best Of Will Ferrel Volumes 1 & 2 Box Set
*The Stepford Wives (Nicole Kidman version)
*Seven Brides For Seven Brothers 2-Disc Special Edition
*Hook Superbit Edition
*Soapdish
*The Rescuers Down Under
*The Aristocats

Widescreen (OAR, actually), Region 1 only

I know some of you might like to buy me something Amy Grant-related, but I can't think of anything that I don't already own multiple copies of. There are a few promotional things, but they don't come cheap. I was planning on posting an eBay auction for a life-size stand-up, but it's since sprung up to $50!

This link will show you the DVDs I currently own. It's up to date (with the exception of a few DVDs that aren't in the database). You can also click the "On Order" tab on that link to see what is on its way to me, as well. It, too, is up to date. However, don't pay any attention to the "Wish List" tab- I used it for another purpose at one point and haven't gotten around to deleting it.
