[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 297487, member: 23"] Great that you've finally got to see it on the big screen. Like you, I missed [I]Scream[/I] on first release - I was introduced to it by a friend when it came out on VHS - but saw the first two sequels in the cinema. I'm especially impressed that you like the film so much despite not being a fan of slashers. It goes to show the quality behind it. This sounds promising. While I've seen the first three films many, many times, it's been probably six or seven years since I've watched them. I remember the first two as being good, so fingers crossed I still find it to be. I got a DVD player in spring 2000, and the first DVD I bought was [I]Jaws[/I] (it was also my first Blu-ray almost a decade and a half later). This means I started out with the first two films on VHS, which I think I later replaced with individial DVDs. I can remember there were different editions depending whether you wanted Full Frame or Widescreen, because people were just latching on to the fact that you missed half the picture with Full Frame. I do remember getting the trilogy set on DVD for Christmas in 2000 and it was one of my prized DVDs. It was really nicely packaged and folded out. Because I haven't watched it much recently, I've never got round to replacing the DVDs with Blu-rays. I was a little tempted by the new [I]Scream[/I] 4K Blu-ray which is released today, but decided I'd rather wait in the hope the original trilogy is released as a package. The layers of story in the first film are incredible. It's really well structured. It does lose a little something after the first watch and you know who's behind the killings, but even then there's so much to interest. I really feel that Sidney is the heart and soul of the series. She's incredibly endearing and likeable right from her first scene and has quite the journey. [/QUOTE]
