What Was The First Movie on DVD?

[@mgreen9318]

My first dvd was in 97 Twister. My dad got surround sound system to go with it.

[@SBarsinister]

The first DVD that I bought was JAWS. I bought it when I bought my Playstation 2.

[@kendalljenkins9938]

My first DVD was Persuasions (2004). It was a Jamison Studios production, and yes I still have it.

[@elphive42]

My first DVD was a copy of the Pixar film A Bug’s Life which came with every iMac. My dad installed Macintosh computers at a college, and so he had stacks of those discs and gave me one to try on our home computer.

[@stickynorth]

First rented DVD was The Insider by the damn DVD drive in my computer couldn't or wouldn't keep up to watch it... The first one I owed was Demolition Man... Still a solid 90's actioner much like Eraser....

[@SchardtCinematic]

Mine was Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Meanace. I didn't even own a DVD player yet. Lol My first DVD I got to watch was at my neighbors house when he showed me the 5th Element and the quality blew me away compared to VHS tapes

[@IsiahTomas]

Run Lola Run was my first purchase.

[@gtm604]

My first DVD was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and I still own it.

[@canarysk4312]

My first DVD was "The Muppets Take Manhattan", which came free in a cereal box when I was a teen. A couple of months later, we got our first DVD player and my parents were shocked that I had gotten a full movie in a cereal box.

[@landongendur]

The first DVD my family got was "Independence Day". I still remember my dad flipping between the inputs from VCR to DVD to compare the quality on the TV (we had the film on VHS too). The quality change was pretty considerable.

[@KlingonCaptain]

I didn't have a DVD player yet for "Independence Day," but I did get the VHS with the lenticular cover with the explosion. It matched my VHS copy of "The Lost World" that also had a lenticular cover. I miss those covers.

[@michaeld.j.weinkauf3884]

I first heard about DVD when I was 9 years old back in 1997. The first movie I remember that was released on DVD was "Batman and Robin." And back then DVDs were like $60. 📀

[@RedSiegfried]

If I remember right, the very first DVD I ever saw was X-Men (rented). And I think the first one I ever bought was Gladiator.

[@btetschner]

A+ video! LOVE IT! Thank you so much for explaining that!

[@tbc9096]

I think our first DVD was Bicentennial Man.

[@Yngvarfo]

I remember seeing a demonstration before I knew that DVDs were a thing. The movie was Pink Floyd's The Wall. However, I remember that the first ones I bought were Superman: The Movie, and South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut. As for Blu-ray, I got Peter Jackson's King Kong some time before I actually had a player.

[@pierresavoie]

My first movie I bought was Tron in 2000.

[@Kara_Kay_Eschel]

Two of them have a tornado. The first DVD I had purchased was Triple X starring Vin Diesel. Bought it used from a local video rental store

[@mymomsaysimcool9650]

My first DVD was Titanic. My wife got it for Christmas but we didn’t have a DVD player. Watched it on my Gateway 2000 w/ 15” display on Christmas Eve 1998.

[@HerbieBancock]

Was that before or after she pegged you in the Santa outfit?

[@MrAvenger1975]

Yeah, I always used to do that on my computer, too, until I actually got a dedicated DVD player in 2003.

[@lancelange9377]

Gladiator was the first DVD I ever bought. I watched it every day for at least a week!

[@JustAnotherGamer1985]

There were three DVDs released initially. The Matrix, Batman and LA Confidential.

[@lonreed9743]

My first DVD was Jim Carrey’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

[@claytonb9685]

Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me. My favorite out of the three plus the amount of the bonus stuff coming out of this little disc. My sister gave me this for Christmas 1999 as I was purchasing my very first DVD player which cost a lot more than today’s Blu-ray players.

[@thomaszaniello7084]

My first DVD was "This is Spinal Tap", a classic in any form.

[@jeffreywebster4388]

My first DVD was Last Action Hero

[@chazcov08]

Got my DVD olayee for $750 on launch day. Got Batman, Willy Wonka, Space Jam, and Woodstock.

[@eclat4641]

My first was Ghost in the shell (The original)

[@derekroberts6654]

My first DVD was “Jaws”… then “Jaws” was my first blu ray…

[@SquatchStomper]

My first DVD was a box set of westerns my grandma gave me for Christmas. But the first DVD I bought was Beverly Hills Ninja.

[@PrankZabba]

My first one was Mars Attacks. The same day I bought my first dvd player. Can't believe it was only $50 due to it being half off. Found out maybe 2 months later why it was so cheap. Then i bought a Sony dvd player. And that lasted years until the laser gave up one day.

[@jayswears]

My first was Shrek. It was in 2001 and I was 21 but it was great. I remember being amazed by the quality.

[@marklsimonson]

Blade runner is the first DVD I bought. First Blu-Ray, and first 4K, too. It might even have been the first movie I rented on VHS.

[@eclat4641]

Awesome!

[@cjcadventures]

My first dvd was minder on the orient express and all I had to play it on was a PS2

[@erinrising2799]

my first DVD was Suicide Kings

[@millfilm1]

First DVD I own is the mummy (1999) still works.

[@Water_Rabbit]

Mad Max was filmed in and around my suburb in Melbourne. Love spotting all the locations even to this day. Halls of Justice is now a tech museum.

[@michellezimmermann9160]

Deep blue sea 🌊 🦈 was my first DVD. I got it as a package with my first DVD player.

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

As a birthday gift, after turning 21 in 2002, I received my 1st ever DVD..... SHOWGIRLS. Ah, the Dolphin scene. When you know, you know....😂❤

[@michaelcarbone6101]

Thanks

[@rudyvalentin1789]

This must be inaccurate because I bought my first DVD drive for my PC in 1995 and the first DVD I purchased on the same day for testing purposes was LEAN ON ME. Why, you ask? Well, it was the only movie available for less than $10.

[@mikeadams8027]

I just remember there were a lot of deals on WARNER BROS. Dvds. I had a DVD drive on my pc and got LOST IN SPACE at a PC show.

[@patrickwilson1459]

Jumanji was one of my first DVDS back when they became popular in 1997.

[@speedyboishan87]

My very first DVD was The Terminator, it was a 2 disc set, i had been given 2 discs the same was missing disc 2, never returned it to Tesco's where i had purchased it from, should have done that, Tesco would have given me a replacement or could have asked MGM for a replacement Disc Two disc. Was £19.99 this was in 2001.

[@KlingonCaptain]

The very first movie I ever owned on DVD was "Jurassic Park III." I actually convinced my Stepdad to buy our first DVD player for my mother's birthday specifically for the DVD release of "Jurassic Park III." Shortly after, I bought the matching DVDs of "Jurassic Park" and "The Lost World" with the same style foil covers. The next DVDs I bought were "Terminator 3" and the "ALIEN Quadrilogy."

[@thethiefking]

My first DVD was The Matrix and my first DVD player was a PS2.

[@jrseitz21]

I still have Spiderman 2 sealed in it's package, never opened. Never bought or used DVD because I knew it was a fad that wouldn't last. I got it with a ps3 or the ps2. Can't remember which

[@peterbumper2769]

My first DVD player came with Anaconda and Legends of the Fall, I doubt I have ever watched the second movie

[@RkivUnderground]

For me I asked for a couple of family films of the time for Christmas 2001 and they were Spy Kids, Grinch 2000, Osmosis Jones, etc. I was 6 years old at the time.

[@RkivUnderground]

the first DVD I "saw" was Toy Story 2 at my uncle's on December 26, 2000. It was the first time I saw an alternate THX trailer in Tex 2 Moo Can.

[@JayP7178]

Twister!

[@mysticwolf75]

My first DVD was The Rescuers Down Under, and I bought it a year in before I even owned a DVD player. Since it's my favorite movie, and I knew I would be getting a DVD player eventually, I bought it when it was released in 2000, because I knew Disney had a tendency to only release movies for a limited time and then put them back in the vault, so I wanted to get it while I could. However, since RDU was a commercial failure, it's one of the movies they kept on DVD all the time. (Incidentally, it was also my first Blu-ray, several years before I owned a Blu-ray player!)

[@BizzyJ1987]

TWISTER always has the Honor to be the very first movie to be released on DVD. My older brother bought a DVD player from a former friend and the very first movie that he owned on DVD was the wrestling movie READY TO RUMBLE.

[@r-rod8116]

My first DVD I bought was the Five Star Collection 2 disk set of Independence Day, which came out in the year 2000. Got it a few days after I got my PS2 on Christmas, so I wanted to see how well it looks on TV. Back then, I was blown away on how the picture was at that time and the 2nd disk came with special features like HBO First Look of this film.

[@brunozeigerts6379]

My first DVD's, I bought together. Spies Like Us and Titan A.E.

[@darthhodges]

My parents bought a DVD player when I was a teen but initially no movies. We were frequent users of a local video rental place that built up their DVD collection pretty quickly. I don't remember what the first one they bought was but the first one I bought was Season 1 of Star Trek The Next Generation. I had every season of the first 4 shows (Original, Next Gen, DS9, and Voyager) within 5 years.

[@anthonymerchant2597]

My first was The Matrix that was given to me as a Christmas gift, I still own it. Blade was the one I remember most of the people I knew all had first. I used to set up my friends laptop so he could watch just that movie as it was the only one he had.

[@diyapia]

My first dvd was Austin Powers International Man of Mystery

[@platypusfox73]

The first DVDs my family bought when we got our PS2 were Mickey Blue Eyes and The Year Without a Santa Clause

[@Dman425]

Twister came out in 1996

[@brianlawton8172]

My first dvd was Forbidden planet (1956) primary because i saw an ad in a store probably p.c Richard or circuit city (I'm dating myself) for the new technology, the improved difference in picture and sound quality and original ratio format.

[@MrAvenger1975]

First DVD that I ever bought was Transformers the Movie when it released.

[@goody0813]

The wedding singer.

[@betelguese3909]

My first dvd was The Patriot.

[@sam_rykien]

The first DVD I ever saw in stores was Air Force One, and it was packed in a CD jewel case with “DVD” on the spine.

[@trapjaw1396]

My 1st DVD was Trick or Treat (1986). My 1st DVD player was the original Xbox.

[@Sigurd-r5]

My first DVD film I can't remember but my first VHS film was a present and it was The Terminator. My first Blu Ray was The Thing 2011.

[@SniffHeinkel]

I own both of those Mad Max DVDs. I also have the original Beyond Thunderdome DVD.

[@simonmarshall19]

My first DVD was Swimfan and blue crush.

[@Emmanuel-h2x4q]

The first DVD I ever had was Spider-Man 2002 I got that when I was a kid 4 5 or 7 years old again it was the first one I ever owned I watched them a lot of times growing up DVDs are not that bad the only problem with it is the scratch you have to be very careful with it but it doesn't matter too much it still works to this day. I had a fun time watching Spider-Man 2002 on DVD 📀

[@swhorne]

My first DVD purchase was Matrix

[@GordonPyzik]

Dont know. But the first CD was Billy Joel 52nd street

[@jeffrey1954]

I can't remember the first DVD I owned. I do remember that House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price was one of the first DVDs I watched. My grandma had just purchased a DVD player around that time and that was one of the movies she owns. It was around the year 2000.

[@writerpatrick]

I can't recall what my first DVD was. I remember my first vinyl record and my first CD though.

[@jorgezarco9269]

I visited a friend in 1999 on his birthday. He was watching the DVD version of The Mummy(1999).

[@marcelmischeaux2099]

Why haven't they put WAVELENGTH on dvd? Have it on VHF (from 976-CREOLEMAN).

[@DanielS2001]

My first two DVDs were Rush Hour and John Carpenter’s Vampires. I bought both at the same time, so, technically both were my first ones.

[@chrisbullard5901]

My dad and our neighbors got into a “keeping up with the Joneses” routine. Dad would cash in stock options and buy a boat, the neighbors would buy a used speedboat just to join us on the lake or the river, then they’d finance a faster, bigger boat. While Dad was the first to have the premium home theater cabinet, the neighbors were the ones with the first DVD player in our cul-de-sac, and I distinctly remember “Austin Powers” being the first DVD they had.

[@italianviking80]

When discussing the first DVD release, it's crucial to establish some ground rules. While several titles were released on DVD simultaneously, many had previously been issued on VHS or LaserDisc. However, "Twister" is the first to debut on DVD.

[@benhoughton8550]

I remember seeing The Mask in 1998 on a big screen rear projection TV at the store. The first time I saw DVD, and I was sold!

[@edgardagosto1917]

What about the first 8track in 1970

[@royroland3884]

What was the first Blu-ray?

[@absurdusername9519]

To my recollection my first DVD was Seven. I was really upset with this disc as the movie was spread iver 2 sides. I remember 'WTF It was supposed to be a big feature of DVD over Laserdisc not having to flip the damn thing. 😅

[@mikevalenzuela3974]

The first dvd i ever owned was Gladiator a 2 disc special edition, it includes the director, editor and dp audiocommentary. I bought it in 2000. I still have it.

[@TubbyJ420]

My first dvd was a box set! The 8dvd Nightmare on Elm Street set that was released in 1999.

[@bazellis]

Twister came out in 1996 not 1997.

[@V3ntilator]

I know what the first reference quality DVD were. Blade 1998, Region 1 version, not Region 2. New Line Cinema had a team that did an extra effort on their releases back then.

[@seangerant653]

john candy....Summer Rental............i remember seeing this on dvd early on !!!!!

[@kascnef]

Twister was the first movie on dvd 📀

[@supermarioplushmovies355]

Don’t forget mars attacks

[@franciswaterson2807]

My first dvd: "Minority Report". (I was 8 or 9 i think) First blu-ray? Hmm... i I believe it was "District 9" perhaps

[@homevideogallery]

No, the fourth film in that Warner lineup wasn't Codename: Nina/Point of No Return/The Assassin. It was the 1995 Richard Donner film _Assassins_ with Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas. I don't know why people keep spreading that tidbit (probably because it's a Japanese DVD and it as the title Assassin in it) when I _have_ those four movies in my possession. They weren't the first four, either. The first DVD *period* was a music DVD from Shinji Tanimura, called "Shinji Ra Munita" released on November 1, 1996, and the first films (that I've found, basically everything before this was content such as background video) were released by Nippon Columbia on 12/1/96 and were Il Castrato, The Adventures of Priscilla and Chungking Express.

[@BlueNeon81]

The first DVD ever released (excluding various demonstration discs) is Shinji Ra Munita, released on November 1st 1996. Those 4 DVDs you've mentioned, were the first hollywood movies released on DVD (I own two of them). Btw, my first DVD I bought is Who Am I?, released in 1999.
