Pleasantville, Antz, Scream 2 and Small Soldiers - all from that wonderful store DVDExpress in April 1999

My first player was to have been the Pioneer DV-717 but there were major lip-synch problems with that so my suppliers, upgradeheaven, offered the Sony DVP-7700 at discount in its place.

Quoting DJ Doena:

Braveheart, must have been aroung April 2000

Impossible DJ, 'Braveheart' was released in the US in late 2000, in Germany not before January, 2001.

I also bought my first DVDs in April, 2000 (Armageddon, Contact and Conspiracy Theory).

The Searchers 07/16/98  This was probably my first purchase from the Walmart $5 bin.    

Wild Wild West (Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek)  September 11, 2001 for 15 German Marks (about 8 € now)

I do not remember for sure what was my very first DVD. I know that I bought it long before I had my first DVD player. I started watching DVDs on my computer. At that time I needed a separate hardware to decode DVDs. I had a Sigma Design REALmagic Hollywood PCI card in my computer.

I think that the first DVD was one of these:
- Contact
- Scream
- Face/Off

I had about 150 DVDs which I had bought during five-six years when I started using DVD Profiler. At that time I was still able to track down purchase place, date and price for quite a many DVDs because I had saved the receipts. I was left with 65 DVDs with unknown purchase info.

Not sure exactly, but I know that Cobra ("Crime is a disease and I'm the cure") was one of the very first that I bought back in '98. Guilty pleasure... 

Starship Troopers

Wim Wender's "The Buena Vista Social Club". When I saw the film at my local cinema with my best friend, we both felt nauseous from the jerky hand-held camera movements. The ending performance at Carnegie Hall  was a beautiful memory and worth ithe movie for that alone. Even now, I only watch it on a small screen and not my large screen tv.
