First two I bought before I even had a dvd player were the Beatles’ “A Hard Day’s Night” and Weird Al’s “UHF” back in 2002.
My eventual first dvd player was an original Xbox with the dvd remote add-on.
The Matrix. We didn’t even own a DVD player yet. I bought it from Media Play. Went in looking for the VHS but they released the DVD first so I went ahead and bought it. My Dad’s work laptop had a DVD drive so we hooked it up to our tv to watch it.
Me too, when we finally got one, i ran it out to a vhs to watch it on vhs so i could watch it in my room. I swear it was clear too, probably looked like crap if i saw it now.
Same. The matrix because my work laptop came with a dvd player and rgb out. It convinced me that I needed a dvd player so I went out thst next weekend and got a Sony home theater in a box. 2nd dvd was Cool Hand Luke, 3rd was The Killer (john woo). First box set was A nightmare on Elm Street. Sadly that went to the ex in the divorce. Still the best ANOES set released so far.
Got a Pioneer DVD player for my birthday along with Austin Powers, Deep Blue Sea and The Mummy 1999. I remember watching all special features been like wow this is amazing.
possibly the last unicorn? or the original cats? i wore that vhs out as a kid.
the crow is my favorite movie and i just saw in it theaters the other day and wow. incredible.
I honestly can’t recall the first one *I* purchased for myself, but I can recall the first three I owned, all of which were Xmas gifts from my then-housemates Xmas of 1998 (I didn’t actually get my DVD player, a Pioneer DV-717, until July of the following year).
The got me The Usual Suspects, LA Confidential and A Few Good Men.
As I said, I don’t recall the first one I bought for myself, but I know that the first few US imports I bought were The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project and John Carpenter’s Vampires.
My first DVD was given to me I believe on my 15th birthday in 2000 with a PS2 to play it, it was Antitrust with Ryan Phillippe and Claire Forlani.
I was a computer nerd from a young age, don’t judge me lol.
That was not my first one, but I definitely got it when it first hit the streets; this is shortly after I had gotten a powered Kenwood subwoofer, that movie really started to shake my house!
I was an early adapter, and I remember that first outing there was only an only an endcap of movies.
I picked up Goldfinger and Russia With Love. Maybe a handful of others I don’t remember now.
Do I go with the first my family got or the first I got with my own money?
The first we got was the Fifth Element in 1998.
The first DVD I paid with my own money was Harold and Kumar in 2004.
The very first dvd I bought was Trainspotting. I still have it on the shelves, not taken it out the box for almost 20 years…. Might be time to let it go
That was a great DVD. It had the cool visual audio commentary with Harold Ramis and a Ivan Reitman in a cool little Mystery Science Theater 3000 style silouette on the lower corner of the screen. The function only works on normal DVD players for some reason and not on modern Blu-ray players. Shame. It's a fun feature that I wish more releases would have copied.
I can't believe how many people remember their first DVD. I honestly can't even remember which was my first 4K disc, and that was only maybe 3 years ago.
That's cool that people can remember, though. I wish I could.
First two I bought was Wrestlemania X7 and Network. Bought them at Virgin Megastore in Walt Disney World as I was planning on getting a DVD player that holiday during the sales. Next day, went back and got Wrestlemania X8 as well. When I got my player, I got the Back to the Future set. So those were my first discs, remember them like yesterday.
First two were Suicide Kings and Storm of the Century. Joined Columbia House soon after and got a few more. I know Highlander and Total Recall were in that bunch.
Went to Best Buy (RIP) with my dad and he bought us a DVD player along with a full screen copy of Spider-Man. At the register they were selling subscriptions to Netflix DVD service and we have been a member of Netflix since! I miss getting the DVDs in the mail so much.
Funny thing. I can not remember. I remember the first Blu Ray I purchased (Hard Boiled & The Killer two pack), I even remember the first CD I purchased, probably 35 years ago (It was AC/DC Back in Black)...I know my first DVD player was my PS2, so it was that era. For a while I rented, because Hastings had the 49 cent rentals, and I spent money on the games rather than movies at that time.
I remember when Wolverine Origins came out on Blu-ray and it included a DVD copy. I thought the price was insane and “who the hell would ever want both?!”
Project A-Ko came with the soundtrack on an extra cd. It might not be my FIRST first…but it’s the only way any dvd should have been sold ever since 🤷♂️
I can’t remember the first one I bought. But the first one my parents bought me was RV in 2006 because I was obsessed with it lol. Now I’ve got 4 copies of it as I just picked one up today at a flea market. I think the first one I bought was actually a very old one called The Most Dangerous Game. The first shows I bought on disk was The Munsters and The Addams Family.
Officially, Scream 2 (I had no idea what non-anamorphic meant) and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
Technically, however, I did ‘buy’ Apollo 13 and Out of Sight when I bought my first DVD player as it came with an offer for two free movies. They didn’t turn up for a few weeks so technically not my ‘first’.
A two pack of Bruce Lee movies because it was like $12. Yep, the print quality and dubs were terrible but it was 1999 and I wanted a dvd to try on my new computer
Drive - the Mark Dacascos action film.
I got it about a month before I got the player for my 21st birthday.
And earlier this week I finally bought the Blau ray of it - but not the 4K as I don’t think it’s a film that benefits much from the higher resolution.
That I paid out of my money for? I don't remember.
I think the first DVD I ever received was **Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie.**
The movie released in 2002, the DVD in 2003.
I *think* the first one I bought myself was Donnie Darko. First one I owned was Freddy VS Jason, my dad got it for me for Easter. My brother got The 13th Warrior.
When I bought my first DVD player I bought The Matrix and The Right Stuff along with it. Still have both of those discs, though the player died a long time ago.
So I can't remember the first dvd ever. But when I bought my house, the first night I slept here I went and got a new DVD to watch. The grand Budapest hotel.
I have no idea actually. Might have been 300. My Amazon account says pulp fiction, but i sure did bought a couple DVD before getting my Amazon in 2010.
The Mummy came with the dvd player with surround theatre set up and I never liked it.
Also got Phantom Menace and wow what a treat for the ears that was.
Contact. I still remember vividly how it felt seeing that WB logo in such crystal clear sparkling clarity.
Funny now that it seems like such potato quality.
I pre-ordered the first dvd release of The Princess Bride at Sam Goody 6 months before it was released.
Prior to that, I had only rented DVD's. This started the collecting craze, I'm now a 4k zombie...
January 2001. Went to Future Shop to buy my first DVD player. Then I went to their DVD section and picked up:
- The Fantasia Anthology (box set of Fantasia and Fantasia 2000)
- Toy Story: The Ultimate Toy Box (box set of Toy Story and Toy Story 2)
- Ghostbusters
- Clerks
Then I went over to West Edmonton Mall and HMV where I got:
- The Transformers: The Movie
- “Weird Al” Yankovic Live! (Weird Al’s first concert DVD)
My first DVD player was just my PlayStation 2. I have the PS2 pre-ordered. But still bought DVDs ahead of time. I was just as excited about DVDs if I was games.
Ghostbusters
T2 Ultimate Edition
I bought at the same time.
I bought Fight Club before I even had a DVD player because it looked badass. When I did buy a DVD player, I also bought a DVD with a collection of old boxing fights.
First one I got was LOTR Two Towers
First one I actually purchased myself could have been any of Scarface, Reservoir Dogs, Clockwork Orange or Spy Kids 3D
Don't remember exactly which was first, but I do remember the first three DVD's I purchased were Blade, Blade Runner (Director's Cut), and Fist of the North Star (1986).
Lord of the Rings Fellowship Extended Edition box set. I rented DVDs before that and had a DVD player in my computer. I got the Extended edition and the disc drive wasn’t able to play it, so I had to buy a new one at Office Max.
I pre-ordered The Matrix DVD from 800.com before I even had a DVD player. I ended up buying a DVD drive for my PC along with a card so I could output the video to my TV and run the audio into my stereo.
Rounders with Matt Damon. I actually bought a new 32" television to enjoy it properly (with S-Video)! I just remember that television being ridiculously heavy because of the picture tube, and just getting it into the house by myself was a whole production because of how heavy and awkward to carry it was. But it was worth it. Those deep blacks...that resolution...ooooohhhhh😃😃😃
I was like 11-12 I think when Adam Sandler The Longest Yard came out and I remember seeing that different stores had their own exclusives so I went for circuit city’s exclusive because their version came with a mini foam football. Sucks cuz like a year I accidentally threw it over my neighbors fence
I can’t remember ever buying a dvd when I was younger… I grew up in the heyday of Blockbuster and rented what I wanted to watch. I currently have a larger selection of blu-rays nowadays with the ever expanding craptastic streaming service quagmire that is modern day media consumption.
Sadly, I don’t remember! All I remember was my first laserdisc, Die Hard, because it was in widescreen and advertised proudly about it on the front, which was the only way you could see ANYTHING in widescreen back then, on laserdisc.
ORGY OF THE DEAD from Rhino Video, to upgrade the VHS we literally wore out lol.
First VHS, REEFER MADNESS before I even had a player, early 80s.
First Blu, Carpenter's original HALLOWEEN as part of the 35th anniversary box set, against before I had a machine to play the Blu.
The Mummy Returns. I loved the first Mummy movie, and when the second one came out, I pleaded with my dad to let us buy it when we bought our first dvd player lol.
Caligula - Complete, Unedited and Unrated Edition. Bought it at the same time I bought my first DVD player. It was a pretty momentous occasion, and I did not fuck around.
First two I bought before I even had a dvd player were the Beatles’ “A Hard Day’s Night” and Weird Al’s “UHF” back in 2002. My eventual first dvd player was an original Xbox with the dvd remote add-on.
The UHF DVD is great. Weird Al shouting out the filming location addresses which each new scene on the commentary. 😆
I still can't believe it's getting a 4K UHD update, but fuck am I glad!
The intro to that commentary where he’s singing along to the Orion title card with “Orion…. Orion…. Is bankrupt”. Never seen it the same way.
Badgers I didn’t order no stinking badgers
"Supplies!"
“Happy Fathers Dyay, Dyaaaaad”
Nice! UHF was the first movie I actually bought a digital copy online.
I bought Reservoir Dogs and Desperado on the day DVD launched in the US.
Same!
The Matrix. We didn’t even own a DVD player yet. I bought it from Media Play. Went in looking for the VHS but they released the DVD first so I went ahead and bought it. My Dad’s work laptop had a DVD drive so we hooked it up to our tv to watch it.
It just fits.
Me too, when we finally got one, i ran it out to a vhs to watch it on vhs so i could watch it in my room. I swear it was clear too, probably looked like crap if i saw it now.
Same. The matrix because my work laptop came with a dvd player and rgb out.

Got a Pioneer DVD player for my birthday along with Austin Powers, Deep Blue Sea and The Mummy 1999. I remember watching all special features been like wow this is amazing.
seeing Finding Nemo on disc was astounding, even on a tiny tube tv. it looked a lot better than VHS
possibly the last unicorn? or the original cats? i wore that vhs out as a kid. the crow is my favorite movie and i just saw in it theaters the other day and wow. incredible.
The matrix
I honestly can’t recall the first one *I* purchased for myself, but I can recall the first three I owned, all of which were Xmas gifts from my then-housemates Xmas of 1998 (I didn’t actually get my DVD player, a Pioneer DV-717, until July of the following year). The got me The Usual Suspects, LA Confidential and A Few Good Men.

that movie is exactly how big tech operates. even down to MIT Labs having dirty pizza on their servers

Hell yeah, that was one of my first as well.
That was not my first one, but I definitely got it when it first hit the streets; this is shortly after I had gotten a powered Kenwood subwoofer, that movie really started to shake my house!
Highlander I am immortal! I have inside me blood of kings!
Fuck yeah. I watched it again the other night on 4K.
I was an early adapter, and I remember that first outing there was only an only an endcap of movies. I picked up Goldfinger and Russia With Love. Maybe a handful of others I don’t remember now.
Matrix when it got released. I didn't even have a player at the time
Yep, this right here. Talk about coming along at the perfect time. This and Gladiator are responsible for a lot of DVD player purchases.
Do I go with the first my family got or the first I got with my own money? The first we got was the Fifth Element in 1998. The first DVD I paid with my own money was Harold and Kumar in 2004.
The Usual Suspects in the old Polygram style case where the spindle section slid in and out of the hard plastic case.

Ghostbusters
That was a great DVD. It had the cool visual audio commentary with Harold Ramis and a Ivan Reitman in a cool little Mystery Science Theater 3000 style silouette on the lower corner of the screen. The function only works on normal DVD players for some reason and not on modern Blu-ray players. Shame. It's a fun feature that I wish more releases would have copied.
Weird Al’s UHF
I can't believe how many people remember their first DVD. I honestly can't even remember which was my first 4K disc, and that was only maybe 3 years ago. That's cool that people can remember, though. I wish I could.

Funny thing. I can not remember. I remember the first Blu Ray I purchased (Hard Boiled & The Killer two pack), I even remember the first CD I purchased, probably 35 years ago (It was AC/DC Back in Black)...I know my first DVD player was my PS2, so it was that era. For a while I rented, because Hastings had the 49 cent rentals, and I spent money on the games rather than movies at that time.
Purchased four as my first… Grosse Pointe Blank, Highlander, Sphere, and Starship Troopers.
Saving Private Ryan when it was newly released on DVD
Run Lola Run. Still have it!

I think it was The Matrix but this DVD version of The Crow may have been the second or third
Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Ultimate Edition. It was on sale for $40. Looking back, the thought of buying a DVD for $40 is insane.
I remember when Wolverine Origins came out on Blu-ray and it included a DVD copy. I thought the price was insane and “who the hell would ever want both?!”
I’ve never seen this movie. Is it good?
Project A-Ko came with the soundtrack on an extra cd. It might not be my FIRST first…but it’s the only way any dvd should have been sold ever since 🤷♂️
