Show Your Movie Collection

[Still Servant]

Needfulthings, I knew you'd have a laserdisc player. It's a beauty.

ur2ndbiggestfan, Love the collection. It looks great. Did you collect those back in the day, or more recently? They're hard to find now.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I bought them when released. As soon as DVDs came out, the laser disc industry dried up quickly. I think I have 3 laser disc players. Two are in the closet and one is hooked up. I WILL watch them again one of these days!

I think the Roger Rabbit three cartoon collection laser disc is a rare item. The store actually had mine under the counter after I ordered it, but I forgot to ask the clerk if anything came in for me that week. After I left it was recalled by Disney because the animators had put risque and other unlicensed images in the cartoons. And the store sent it back without informing me! I never did get that disc. That goes under the category of things I could easily have had and passed up (lettered FIRESTARTER, SIX STORIES, etc. Hindsight is so wonderful).

That's awesome! I'm sure I will come across a Laser Disc player in the wild one of these days. It will make it that much sweeter.

Honestly, Who Framed Roger Rabbit must be rare on DVD as well. I got back into collecting DVDs about 2 years ago and I've yet to come across it.

[needfulthings]

It is also out on Blu-ray- DVD Double Set.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I was referring to the laser disc which collected the three Roger Rabbit cartoons, TUMMY TROUBLE, etc., not the movie WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT. That's the one laser disc I'd still like to buy, but last time I looked the price was too high for my wallet. Maybe I'll check again now that I've thought about it.
And now that it's been brought up, I think I'll watch WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT again!

[needfulthings]

You will find that the only x-rated material will be found on the Who Framed Roger Rabbit Laser Disc (not on the cartoon disc). If you check on the back of the DVD I posted you will see the three cartoons are on there.


also due to the adult material in the Gary Wolf novel other then this SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE sticker on this 2nd printing you will not find another U.S.A. movie tie-in although you will find a U.K. book based on the film.( No U.S.A. edition)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I am a bit confused, which is normal for me. I do have the Roger Rabbit movie on laser disc, but never checked it for the X rated and other frames. But then why was the cartoon disc recalled by Disney before I could buy it? Did it also contain controversial material?

EDIT:
I just checked around. It seems the recalled THE BEST OF ROGER RABBIT disc is still available from some dealers, never opened. The prices are down considerably, sold ones going from $27 and up. So even though it's considered rare, it's not terribly hard to find. The dealers say if you freeze frame the sawmill episode there is a suggestive poster on the wall advertising Rigid Tools, etc. I will keep my eyes open for this disc from now on.

Shannon, a while back I saw this on your shelf and thought it looked cool. Much to my surprise, I found it at a flea market for 5 bucks. Unfortunately, it had everything (book, certificate of authenticity, and film cell) EXCEPT for the actual DVD. I couldn't find the actual DVD for sale separately, but I found a special edition E.T. Steelbook book up for bid on ebay and I won it for 10 bucks. I think it looks great with the rest of the gift set.

[needfulthings]

You will find your box was missing 3 DVDs disc 1 1982 version of the film with guns & no CGI... Disc 2 2002 version now with radios & CGI & also a live John Williams music version. Disc 3 Special features & Disc4 is a CD.

[Mattrick]

Did Spielberg actually replace guns with walkie talkies? I always assumed that was just a South Park joke.

[needfulthings]

YES!

Yeah, I did some research on what was missing. I would have preferred to have the original DVDs and CD, but I just couldn't find it without having to spend 50 bucks for the complete gift set.

I've never heard of that site before. Seems like a good way to find places to buy used stuff. I must say though, I've had bad experiences with buying used things from the Amazon marketplace. Although that seller is actually a Goodwill. Thanks.

[needfulthings]

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP....I just picked up 6 of these book & Blu-Ray cases for $24.96 each.
I don't know how they do it?

[Shannon]

Don't know how they do what? And what did you buy for $25 each? Hopefully not the Digibook editions, that seems super expensive.

[Still Servant]

He's referring to the shelves. I have some smaller ones for my video games that I got for like 14 bucks at Wal-Mart. They look nice and you can't beat the price.

[Shannon]

Oooh rereading it,makes sense now. The shelves aren't super crazy strong, but I've never had a problem with books or movies.

[Still Servant]

My Holy Grail.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Why Holy Grails? Were they hard to find or your favorite movies or maybe both? You made me check my shelves. I seem to have all those and also an earlier laser disc version of Temple of Doom. They are hard to dig out and check though because of those barricades I made to hold the Simpson's DVDs in place.

Honestly, laserdiscs in general are fairly hard to find. I'm not talking about ebay, that's cheating. I'm talking about in the wild (tag sales, flea markets, pawn shops, thrift stores, etc.). I've been collecting laserdiscs for over a year now and I've never come across any of the Indiana Jones films, let alone all three. In fact, my cousin found these for me at a flea market far from where I live.

Anyway, I love the Indiana Jones films. They are very nostalgic for me, so that's more of what I was referring to when I mentioned holy grail. That and the fact that it references the third film.

[Still Servant]

Underrated Kubrick classic.

[needfulthings]

[Still Servant]

Beautiful. I was hoping you'd post something. I love that Blu-ray Criterion cover. Did they release The Killing on VHS?

[Still Servant]

Two of my favorite Sci-fi films.
