Whats a movie that you really really liked, but was extremely disapointed with the dvd. In any way.

I got the Better Off Dead dvd, one of my favorite 80s comedys, and was almost outraged. Not only did they create the worst cover art on the face of the planet for the dvd, there is no special features (putting "widescreen" "scene selection" under extra features doesn't count!). At least the transfer is good, and I think its safe to say its the best the movie has looked.

what about you guys?

God, there's so many.   The worst is when you buy a bare bones DVD and a special edition comes out a few months later.  That happened to me with The Unforgiven, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Traffic, Starship Troopers (Even though the original wasn't bare bones) and it looks like it'll happen with X-Men.
A few great films, bad DVDs are: Fat City, Miami Blues, State of Grace, Don't Look Now, The Warriors, South Park: The Movie, The Collector, Midnight Cowboy, Raging Bull...I could go on forever, the list is endless.
Paramount are the biggest rip-off artists with their "special features".

The award for 'DVD Least Deserving the Title 'Collector's Editon' goes to:

Frankenhooker.

It comes with a trailer and some trailers for some other bad movies, but this dosen't make a collector's edition.

The Dark Power DVD has no extras and worse picture quality than some of the videos I've had for years, but still well worth it, great film.

And a pet hate of mine is 2-disc Special Edition's with huge boxes  It seems to happen often with region 1, they've got a whole seperate compartment for each disc. It really shouldn't bother me, but I bought R1 cos they came out earlier, and they've all since come out here with nice, normal-sized boxes.

I hate when DVD's advertise that they've got commentaries but it just turns out they've sampled some interviews and arranged them in places where they are mildly relevant. I fell for this with Strange Days, some Tarantino special editions and the 'Ed Wood' special edition.

Spider-Man. Oh, it's got lots of stuff, but it's empty calories. Everything is very shallow. There isn't even a special FX feature.

Any Stanley Kubrick film.

The "Trinity" films on one disc. A cheesy trivia game, bland bios maybe copied off the IMDB, only 4 scene selection chapters for each movie. Yeah, it was cheap but come on.

American release of GINGER SNAPS, especially when Artisan decided to cram the special features on WISHMASTER 3 and *gasp* MANGLER 2 (a movie that needs to be reviewed on this site)

Correction: Genger Snaps should be in a post called "Awful Movies, Awful DVDs".

I'm also one of the few people that wasn't too impressed with ginger snaps. I didn't mind it, I enjoyed some of it, but it was so over-hyped. Thats what I thought at least.

All the Batman movies. I bought the 4 disc set for my brother and none of them had any Special Features. One has set design. As I said, no special features.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cheaped out of a commentary. I would've loved to hear a commentary on the movie, as I'm sure it was both incredibly fun and incredibly painstaking to film.

Another movie I want a commentary for is Poltergeist. I know half the people from the movie are dead, but Craig T, Jobeth, and Spielberg should all do a commentary.

Ugh...Spielberg...

f**k SPIELBERG AND HIS LACK OF COMMENTARIES~! A JAWS COMMENTARY WOULD HAVE OWNED!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
