Has there ever been a decent straight to dvd movie?

[scorch 13]

I ask because every straight to dvd movie ive seen(only like five though)has been garbage so has anyone seen a good or decent straight to dvd movie.

 

[Marter]

I'm certain there have been some.

I can't think of any though.

 

[skitzo van]

Not that I know of, I think that's why they're called straight to dvd

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I don't believe so because most of the time the only movies that are straight to DVD are the ones that are unnecessary sequels and prequels which have been rushed out and didn't have a budget for a big theater production.

Paranormal Entity.

Much better than Paranormal Activity...

Stargate Continuum. I loved that one. And I liked the new Green Lantern animated film. Straight to DVD doesn't necessarily mean bad. It costs SO MUCH to put a movie in theatres and promote it. Sometimes DVD movies are cheaper to produce.

Outside of OVAs, probably not. But there are tons of good OVAs out there.

Hachiko: A Dog's Story

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachiko:_A_Dog%27s_Story

had a cinema release in Europe but not in the US for some reason, IT IS THE SADDEST FILM EVER, really really amazing film but hot damn it's sad. I didnt cry when my uncle and grandma died but this film had me literally crying like a little schoolgirl

(Actually straight to VHS but the concept is the same)

Tremors and An Extremely Goofy Movie

I heard about this one movie with Adam Corolla called "The Hammer" that went straight to DVD but got pretty good reviews.

 

[The King of Rock and Roll]

I can barely think of any good movies period.

Sounds good.

Alot of good Indie and foreign movies go right to DVD.

Superman Batman: Public Enemies

...i picked it up on a whim at Toys R Us (while looking for a Blue Beetle action figure)...turned out to be pretty damn good imo...

(off topic) why Toys R Us had less DC action figures than Target, I'll never know....

 

[Ptolemy]

I think Star Ship Troopers went striat to VHS but i'm not sure.

3 years ago my dog dies, I cry

*gap for 3 years including close family member's deaths..with no tears*

watched that film last month and it nearly killed me

whether that speaks about me as a person or not I dont know lol

A lot of the Marvel and DC straight-to-dvd animated flikcs are really good. Among themL

Hulk Vs double Feature (Featuring Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine, which has the first animated appearance of Deadpool ever!)
Planet Hulk
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

I stole this from moviebob, but it's true:

Ginger Snaps

Not "great" by any stretch, but they're not bad at all, in my opinion. The sequel is pretty good as well if you like horror films.

um I kinda enjoyed southland tales...its pretty horrible.
