667 - Neighbour of the Beast
Oh yes I have to give a nod to Band of Brothers as well. I borrowed the 10 hours of it on DVD from a friend. Then I ended up watching all of them in 1 day. The directors certainly have a knack for making you want to put in that next DVD.
I bought my wife the Firefly TV series on DVD and the subsequent film Serenity for Christmas. She is a huge fan of the series which was cancelled after only 10 episodes. The fan outcry was such that the producers were able to get the money to make Serenity as a feature film. You can certainly see this film without knowing the TV series Firefly but it wraps up a lot of the loose ends that were left hanging when it was cancelled.
I also got 2 copies of the Long Way Round DVD chronicling the round the world bike trip of Ewan MacGregor and Charley Boorman. I had seen the series on the Outdoor Life Network but there is a fair amount of additional footage in the DVD set and of course the additional features that have become part of all DVDs.
