I was wondering what cult and b movies are worth getting on dvd as opposed to a cheap vhs version. Currently, I only have Castle of Cagliostro on dvd.

Being an addict of the DVD format I think that the answer is the ones you love and cherish the most.  The picture quality is the tops and, if the company foots a sizable production budget on the disc, then the extras are worth the 10 or so dollars more.

Chadzilla's criteria on which DVDs to purchase is perfect.  I confess a particular weakness for Something Weird Video and Anchor Bay's products - not only are the extras interesting, but in the case of a movie like Blood Feast... well, I still think they had the original film sealed in a vacuum, it looked that good.

Of course, you could always go with a subscription rental service like Netflix to try the discs out. And a few minutes spent at dvdpricesearch.com will save you some money on the discs you do decide you need.  I think a lot of people will agree with me - the damned things are worse than crack.

I’ve found that there are certain movies on the dvd format that are not worthwhile, Bad Taste – the “Canadian import version” totally sucks – the color is bad and the disc comes with nothing extra. The video quality of the dvd is no better than VHS. Try to stick with mainstream distribution companies rather than some company you might of never heard from.

Man, I have one that is worth while if it's even on DVD.  

1.  The Roller Blade Seven:  This has to be the worst movie I have ever seen.  It has some terrible camera angles and replays.  Definatley a film that would be great to make fun of, or just to see why there's a difference between "film" and "movie".

The Rollerblade Seven was a Donald G. Jackson
movie, & as far as I know, none of his movies
have come to DVD yet.

He is a very good "bad director", though...
Troma, are you listening?

Fiend Without a Face (from the Criterion Collection).  They did a very nice job with the extras.

It depends on the cost of the DVD.  I should not that some particularly bad movies have good scenes, and that it's easier to skip all the bad stuff on DVD.  For example, Planet of Dinosaurs is painful to watch, but the FX are good.  If I had it on DVD, I could skip the painful parts and just watch the dinosaurs.

All of them.  I sold or gave away my entire VHS collection years ago and replaced everything with DVDs and now blu-rays.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Plan 9 From Outer Space come to mind.

The Critical Mass release of Just Before Dawn has some nice extras. Generally though, I really don't care for extras. Somehow they kinda ruin the films for me in a weird way I guess. I have to watch a dvd about a million times before I get to the extras.

     Al Adamson films released on Troma are a good buy; inexpensive (I paid $9.95 for a copy of BLOOD OF GHASTLY HORROR), plus you get commentary from Sam Sherman, Adamson's long time partner.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
