Great thread... I started collecting films in the late 80's on VHS and I still can't believe how far we have come - I could never have conceived of such a thing as DVD with all it's bells and whistles (lasers never caught on in Ireland), and I remember getting the Pioneer DVD of Texas Chainsaw Massacre from the US (when it was still an outlaw title in the UK and Ireland), and being awestruck that the film came with a running commentary by the film makers - can you imagine such a thing ? John Peel once said the best year for music releases was the current year, and I feel the same way about DVD/BR. This is truely a Golden Age for film collecting.
