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 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. |
