when my father bought the LD player back in 1989 we bought 2 LDs and 1 CD.

i remember one LD which i still have was Blade Runner #69 (1982) (Uncut) [CC1169L]

the other may have been a boy and his dog p/s but i can't really remember if that wat it?

the CD was the Prince batman soundtrack in the metal tin.

we wanted to make sure it could play the CD's and LD's

My first LD was TAXI DRIVER (Criterion). It was a birthday present (maybe around 1994) and everybody had a laugh, as I didn´t have a Player. It took me a few years until I bought myslef a player, in the meantime the LD was placed by the vinyl collection. At this time the Discs were so expensive, i never thought I would buy myself a movie priced by around 100 US Dollar. Well, that changed in 1997, when I bought my first player together with the BRAVEHEART Pal-LD.. :)

It was either Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) or Criterion's Time Bandits, sometime in 1994. I can't remember which.

Star Trek VI widescreen. It's a pretty good transfer for a laserdisc and, unfortunately, set my expectations a little too high for subsequent purchases. I was a little frustrated once I started getting other titles with poor quality transfers.

Good Will Hunting (PAL/UK release). I had purchased a broken LaserDisc player on eBay with the intention to fix it as the fault seemed minor (but either I was sold a lemon or it was more broken during shipping...), and this happened to be the cheapest LaserDisc on eBay at the time.

Genesis Mama Tour

I became interested in laserdisc as in the 80's i saw a few installations in musea and in the Evoluon where my father worked as a programmer. I was aware of 5" cdv's at the music stores, but when i had a cd player and started collecting cd's, all cdv's were just gone.

In 2003 i found a website about the evoluon and there was a demo video that appeared to have come from an early laserdisc 4039. I found that where i lived there appeared to be a laserdisc store, Rodisc.
There i also found out that almost all of my favourite 80's music appeared to be issued on laserdisc!
Now i was totally sold.
And so i bought Genesis Mama first and a CLD D515 they had in store.

I started collecting laserdisc in 2005, the first three films that were bought three films of star trek :"The Wrath of Khan","Generations" and "First contact" (Italian edition)
"Generations" was the first laser disc that I've ever seen....and it was absolute love for the big shiny disc :D

I bought 3 laserdiscs at the same time from Half Price Books for $1.99 each. They were: American Graffiti, Driving Mrs. Daisy, and Airplane!. However, I couldn't watch them until 2 years later because the player that I had broke on me after watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind which I had borrowed from the friend that got me into laserdiscs.
