How many of your dvd's are 2-disc sets?

[Marv]

I own:

Seven
Die Hard - Special Edition
From Dusk Till Dawn - Collecters Edition
Brave Heart - Special Edition

[Bapapapa]

Do the sets have to be exactly 2- discs?

:nuts:

[Yonathan Gal]

15 out of 61... one of them is 3 disc actually (Almost famous - 2 dvds and 1 cd)... Yet to arrive yet.. Play is being sow about prcoessing it... :D

[dynamic]

7, 2 disk sets and 11 boxsets :D

[ac]

I'd say probably around 25% of my collection (about 160 discs total) are 2 disc sets.

A few multiple disc sets too (eg. Alien Legacy, Godfather Collection, Toy Story Ultimate Toybox, etc.)

It does seem to be the norm nowadays that 'big' films are released as a 2-disc version, even if the content doesn't really warrant it. :(

[Paul490]

Nine out of my 59 discs are 2-disc sets.

[SqueakyG]

Perhaps the real question should be: How many 2-disc sets deserve or need to be 2-disc sets?

I have:

Armageddon: quite meager special features on disc 2, could have fit on disc 1 with slight loss of film transfer quality.

Fight Club: Enough features to warrant a second disc, though in bitty small multi-angle featurette forms.

League of Gentlemen series 2: A surprise, as it doesn't even state it has two discs, and doesn't list most of its special features. Better than squeezing it all on disc 1.

Magnolia: Needs the second disc, because a 3 hour film and an 80-minute documentary can't fit on the same disc.

Seven: the special features are forgettable and not that substantial, but I guess they need to be on the second disc. Disc 1 has great picture and 4 commentaries, and I'd hate for that to be compromised.

Silence of the Lambs: One of MGM's annoying "cardboard packaging, lets put the 1 hour documentary on a second disc and sell it for £25" releases.

The Phantom Menace: Totally deserving of a second disc, with all the tons of features.

The Terminator: Another of MGM's annoying "cardboard packaging, lets put the 1 hour documentary on a second disc and sell it for £25" releases.

T2:UE: Enough features to totally fill a second disc, excellent.

This is Spinal Tap: The 70 minutes of deleted scenes are like a second film, suit being on a second disc.


So... I have 10 two-discers, but only half of them need to be two-discers. The rest are money-making "special editions" that are just trying to look like more value than they really are.

[Paul490]

I have Raging Bull 2-disc. That does not deserve a two disc set. What was the point of making it a two disc set?

[Ridcully]

23 DVDs inc 5*2 disc sets & 2 box sets

Although there were complaints about Braveheart being compressed too much for R1 1 disc, I thought with the R2 2 disc version they could have at least put more on disc 2

[LooneyJetman]

About 50 of my titles (total just over 500) are two or more disc sets. So that makes a pretty even 10%.

Now if I only had time to watch the films themselves, let alone the extras!

[Bolch]

About 15 out of 160, best of which - Benny Hill Golden Greats :D

[01keith]

I have 36 (2 Disc Sets) out of 200 Plus.:clap:

[internetuser]

Out of all these two disc'ers people own, how many of the extras on the 2nd disc do you watch ?

I for one, watch some films, and can just about manage the film, let alone the extras in the time I have to watch the films.

If I do have more time, do you not find alot of the extras, erm, rather pointless and just space filler ? ie Mummy and Mummy Retunrs ? Fair enough films, but did we really need an extra disc for both of them ?

I don't suppose I can count double sided discs like Ben Hur, Superman or V.

I also have three disc sets like M*A*S*H Season 1, Simpsons Season 1, Toy Story.

I also have quite a few boxsets like Kubrick, Nighmare on Elm Street R1, Godfather and Buffy

[Grumpy]

39 two disc sets owned, 2 more on preorder and 1 three disc on it's way.

[juan_schwartz]

I have 23 2 disc sets not including boxsets, out of 175 DVDs total.

I tend to watch the extra stuff ages after I get the disc, I'll watch the movie pretty much straight away, but well over a year can lapse before I get round to the features!! E.g. I've just finished the Snow White extras but haven't done Fight Club yet despite getting that in June 2000!!!
