Very deserving of a mention are the two Dick Van Dyke show releases -- Seasons 1 & 2. Two incredibly classy DVD packages, befitting the show.

Great year for DVD.

Too many keepers to list but I shall mention the one biggest for me.

The Kids Are Alright...great to have this one finally on DVD.
And they did a great job on the transfer.

Led Zeppelin
Finding Nemo
LOTR - TTT (Extended Edition)
Alien Quadrilogy (I think boxed sets should be included)
Adventures of Indiana Jones
The Lion King

D'oh! Forgot that one. One of the best of the "Classic Albums" documentaries, IMO.

I wish I hadn't put The Concert for George on my Christmas list. Now I have to wait to see it ... I am really looking forward to it.

I really enjoy the Rolling Stones "Four Flicks" DVD set. Maybe I feel hope watching 59 year olds rock out! They're still great and it looks like they are still having fun performing.:thumbsup:

You like your extra unmatted nudity, don't you, you naughty boy.

A great set, but it came out in the late fall of 2002, IIRC.
