Looking at the DVD collection thread, I decided it would be a good idea for everyone to list their favorite DVDs based on individual categories, like your own personal DVD awards show or something. I now give you the "VesceySux Ulimate DVD Awards," based on the DVDs in my collection. I also included my home theater system components for good measure...

Dave2000- You can make your own categories. You didn't necessarily have to use mine. Is Swordfish really worth owning? I never saw it, but heard the action was pretty good... Damn. Nobody else wants to give their opinion?! Maybe I should start a thread called "Caption Game: Naked Britney Spears Hates Aggies; Lusts After John Walker and Omar Vizquel." I'm sure more people will view my thread then...
Too many categories to think about right now. I will give one award though: DVD I'm most embarrased to own: Idle Hands, which I bought JUST because Jessica Alba was in it. Horrible movie.
Well I would have made my own catagories but was just too lazy to make my own. Swordfish is a pretty badass movie. I am a BIG Travolta fan when he plays the bad guy and Hugh Jackman is pretty cool too. I did buy the movie cuz I liked it, not to see Halle Berry nude (hell, I dont think she is that hot.)
