What did you guys think were the best DVD releases to drop in 2004, and why? Finally get a flick you've been longing for? Did the 4 disc "Dawn of the Dead" set blow your mind?!

Discuss!

So far I'd say the following are among the top dvd's of the year

-LOTR:ROTK:EE
-Dawn of the Dead 4 disc edition
-Star wars trilogy
-Clerks 10th anniversery edition
-Alien Quadrilogy
-Hellboy
-Shawshank redemption 2 disc edition.

and I'd add Hero to that list ^. I saw the movie at the end of 2003, but was looking forward to a R1 release of the DVD so that I could watch it on my DVD player, and share it with friends.

LOTR:ROTK:EE
Was by far the best DVD for me, it had 50extra mins to the movie, and I think it was about 5 or 6 hours extra stuff, now thats what I call I good DVD package!

My best DVD's of 04

The Testament of Dr. Mabuse Criterion Collection- Two films with different actors, good amount of extras and a transfer that rivals the greatness of the Citizen Kane transfer.

The Battle of Algiers Criterion Collection- good transfer, three disks of extras that cover both the movie and the event to every last detail.

Dawn of the Dead 4 disk- Three different versions of the movie, great transfer, three different commentaries, huge documentaries.

Goodfellas 2 disk- good transfer, my favorite commentary with the real Henry Hill and Edward McDonald, good extras.

Videodrome Criterion Collection- good transfer, two commentaries, short film by Cronenberg, documentaries, and one the most creative packaging I have ever seen.

Star Wars- I would be redundant to explain why this one is great.

Field of Dreams- good transfer, deleted scenes, commentary and as a huge baseball fan the America's Stadium trivia feature was very interesting and informative.

Batman the animated series Volume 1- Not the greatest in terms of extras or transfer, but just to see this great series on DVD has been great.
