Top Ten DVDs 2007

[Elliot Kane]

What are the top ten DVDs you got this year? Date of release of the DVD or film doesn't matter - just whether you got them this year or not. Boxed sets count.

Mine are:

1. Dr Who: The Key To Time. One of the old Dr Who series starring Tom Baker. Superb.

2. What's New Scooby Doo? OK, so there's more than one of them, but I am a huge Scooby fan and this latest re-invention is the best version ever, IMO. I'm counting the series as one DVD - cheating, I know ;D

3. Die hard 4. Maybe it's part nostalgia, maybe the new one really is that good - but I like it a lot.

4. PotC 3. A fitting ending to the weirdest series of pirate films ever.

5. Dr Who: Genesis Of The Daleks. One of the greatest Who stories ever. Stars Tom Baker.

6. Dr Who: Carnival Of Monsters. One of Jon Pertwee's best stories as The Doctor, IMO.

7. Police Story 2. Jackie Chan is awesome

8. Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister complete series boxed set. One of the finest comedies ever to air on British TV.

9. Dr Who: Horror Of Fang Rock. More Tom Baker.

10. Dr Who: Inferno. And more Jon Pertwee.

Ended up a bit more Dr Who than I'd thought it would. Still, such is life! ;D

In no particular order...

1. Death Proof. It may not be Quentin Tarantino's best work, but it was easily the best part of Grindhouse, and quite enjoyable on its own merits.

2. The Prestige. Probably my most watched DVD this year... it's just a great film on practically every level. The story is deep and complex, and the cast was stellar.

3. 300. Good adaptation of a pretty decent comic.

4. Doctor Who: New Beginnings. Includes the excellent "Keeper of Traken", "Logopolis" and "Castrovalva". Anthony Ainley is my favorite version of the Master, and he was excellent in this series.

5. Spider-Man 3. While flawed, it was a decent film with none of Spidey 2's ridiculously implausible moments.

6. Highlander: Season 4. The episodes with Methos and the Four Horsemen alone would be enough to make the list... but it also includes "The Stone of Scone", one of my favorite eps of the series. Great stuff. I miss Duncan MacLeod.

7. Casino Royale. One of the great Bond films, and I honestly never guessed it would be. A pleasantly surprising film.

8. Doctor Who Series 3. Only the last few episodes are that notable, but the good stuff is excellent.

I'm blanking on the last two, offhand... I've just watched too much stuff this year, and can't remember when exactly I got them. I'll be adding Pirates 3 when I get it, even though it wasn't as good as the previous films to me.
