When buying a DVD, what is most important to you?

Mine would be the content and that it's OAR. I avoid Full Screen like a disease.

Wouldn't the behind-the-scenes, games and outtakes all be in the Bonus Features section?

Yes they would but some might not like all the bonus features. That's why I separated them. If you like all the bonus features you can vote for bonus features.

Bonus Features! Hehe I love deleted scenes. I'm also obsessed with finding NEW DVDs cheap. I'm thrifty. :)

I have to go with the movie and it's original aspect ratio. If it weren't for the movie, I'd never buy the DVD.

Face it, slipcovers are taking over the world. It's the freakin' blob. :roll:

But they're just pieces of cardboard! They're meant to preserve the DVD, not to get people to buy the DVD so they could own the slipcover!

If all they wanted to own was the slipcover, they should just order a free one off Disney customer service instead of buying a movie you're never going to watch. I don't understand Alan for that, but hey, whatever floats his boat. :roll: Hmmm......(goes to try to make a boat out of all his slipcovers)

I agree. However, there's always the chance that maybe he'll watch it again and see the beauty of Bambi and realize that it's not boring at all, but the attention spans of the modern audiences made him think that it was boring. If he ever comes to this conclusion, isidour and I will be happily waiting with avatars and threads about how wonderful Bambi is. :D

Good Luck! :D
That's the problem with audiences today. Just because Bambi doesn't have as much excitement as movies today, apparently that makes it boring. :headshake:

Yeah, I know, but I can dream, can't I? I mean, he bought the DVD. Of what I know, he hasn't thrown it away or turned it into small pieces of metal or anything like that. Maybe on a rainy, weekday afternoon he'll go through his collection and say "Bambi, eh? I remember ChayChay and isidour made such a fuss over this dull thing. Maybe I'll watch it." Then he'll realize the glory of this splendid, underrated film.

He's not the only person I've had to tell about the beauty of this film. My best friend hates it. :cry: I don't think she even knows what slipcovers are, though, so at least I don't have to tell her what I think about those.

You set the slipcovers up for votes when you put them first. :headshake:

The Movie is most important, then I like Deleted Scenes and Bloopers.
I hate slip covers

OAR and bonus features (which include commentary and deleted scenes and bloopers!).
I believe that 2 discs are better than 1.

and to those who voted 'slipcover', I can't imagine why! :headshake: no offense...

OAR is first, then the video/audio transfer, bonus features (especially ORIGINAL trailers!), and I prefer that it be from a studio with a good reputation. I don't like buying Platinum, Madacy, Delta, Brentwood, Genius, or other 2-bit little companies who don't have the resources to have any film or TV program look better than really bad.

Well does the actual film or TV show count for nothing? ;)

1. Film/ Tv show or whatever it is!
2. The DVD is in OAR
3. Behind The Scenes Feature
4. Bonus Features
5. Outtakes
6. Games
7. Slipcover

If there is a film that I desperately want, I would by it even if it was pan and scan if no widescreen was available. This has never happened yet, I own no Pan and scan DVDs, although "The Gnome Mobile" is tempting me! :(
