Well, I can't list every one I own, but I'll list a few of them. Of course
we all have different tastes, and all of mine are on LaserDisc, so good luck.
(In no particular order)
*All of the following are Special Editions*
Alien, Aliens, The Abyss (must have the special edition, regular edition is
horrible), The Rock, Terminator 2, and Star Wars
*All of the following are Letterbox (LBX)*
Tombstone, Unforgiven, Adventures of Ford Fairlane, All the Star Trek
Films, Who's the Man?, Clerks, Fletch, Back to the Future, The Bear,
Crimson Tide, True Lies, Airplane 1 & 2, and Top Secret!
All told, I own over 70 LaserDiscs and it's increasing everyday. I've been
buying them since 1990, and love 'em!

Some addition (and one correction - Princess Bride was released in 1987, =

is not what they were looking for. One other quote has had two

From: "Gregory A. Swarthout" <greg_swarthout@autosoft.com>
Subject: [MV] Armageddon, * 1/2 (out of 4)
Review by Gregory A. Swarthout
Stars: Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Will
Patton, Peter Stormare, Keith David, Steve Buscemi. Written by Jonathan
Hensleigh, J.J. Abrams. Directed by Michael Bay. Rated PG-13 for sci-fi
disaster action, sensuality and brief profanity.
A meteor the size of Texas is heading towards Earth, and if it collides
with our fair planet, no life will remain. Our only hope of survival is to
fragment the meteor far enough away so that the individual pieces will miss
the globe on their new trajectory. But shooting at the great rock won't
accomplish this goal; the only way this plan can work is if a drilling team
lands on the meteor, drills a shaft 800 feet deep, and deposits a nuclear bomb
into the heart of the beast.
Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) is arguably the world's best deep core
driller and is therefore chosen by NASA's executive director, Dan Truman
(Billy Bob Thornton), to perform this vital mission. Harry is given the
latitude to recruit his own crew and so brings along the bunch of roughnecks
who have worked for him for years. Their free-wheeling style is at odds
with the strict military-like comportment of the astronauts who will pilot
them into space, but this is one case where putting aside differences is
absolutely vital.
The mission launches as planned, but that is seemingly the last thing
that goes off without a hitch. Murphy's Law is put into play time and again
as every conceivable thing that can go wrong does, but the men and women
who hold mankind's fate in their hands are consummate professionals. One
setback after another is not enough to thwart the mission, although not
everyone who began it will be returning. The stakes are just too high to
accept defeat, even when the attempt seems all but futile.
"Armageddon" should by no means be mistaken for science fiction; it
is an action flick all the way. The one-liners and two-dimensional characters
will clue in those who think that anything more than mindless entertainment
is in store. The film wants desperately to be this year's "Independence Day"
cheer-fest, but fails at even this lowly aspiration.
The subplots, involving forbidden romance and the constant butting of
heads between mission leaders, are flimsy at best and annoying at worst.
They could have, and should have, been trimmed to control the film's 2.5
hour bloat. It is obvious though, that other trimming has taken place because
scenes don't always flow in a logical manner. For instance, a round of
training in the desert is suggested, but the next scene involves underwater
training instead. Another time, three of the drillers are hauled away to jail,
but the next day they fall in with the rest of the crew without any mention
being made of their incarceration or how they were freed.
"Armageddon" is, quite simply, a mess. It's just another big-budget
disappointment in a season replete with them. Decent special effects can't
make up for a terminally weak storyline. Just ask the makers of "Godzilla".

"Good Will Hunting" Oscar-nominee Gus Van Sant has been
signed to direct a movie about a love affair between two gay
cowboys. "Brokeback Mountain," based on a screenplay by
"Lonesome Dove" author Larry McMurtry and his writing
partner Diana Ossana, was adapted from an eyebrow-raising
New Yorker short story that ran in the magazine last
October. Van Sant, who also directed "To Die For," is
currently working on a remake of "Psycho."

Hey, wait a second. Where's Will Smith?? That's the problem with this
movie. "Big Willy" (his words) isn't opening up the 4 July week-end movie.
He probably would have given this movie another 1 1/2 stars:-)

Just asking.

Glad you enjoyed Starship Troopers, that'll be in my collection when
released. RoboCop (Criterion Ed.) is in my collection as well, it was
directed by Paul Verhoven. He directed Showgirls, Total Recall (not the
greatest movie) and Basic Instank.
