Has there ever been a decent straight to dvd movie?

[Someperson307]

Splinter was a pretty good movie, it had surprisingly good production values, and the monsters in it are some of the freakiest things I've ever seen.

The Boondock Saints 1 essentially went straight to video. It had a very limited release to theaters.

I can give you one, Batman Gotham Knight

I quite enjoyed Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

 

[Baralak]

Oh yeah! Forgot to add in Advent Children (The blu-ray release, which has 23 minutes of added footage, is just SO much better, though!) and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

Some of the Dead Gentlemen stuff is straight to DVD, and they're stuff is great if you're part of the subculture it's aimed at.

 

[SplashyAxis]

The only two that I can think of at the moment would be Transsiberian and In The Electric Mist.

They're pretty good by direct to dvd standards. They're not re-inventing the wheel or anything, but you could do worse.

Was the sonic movie released straight to vhs / dvd? The OVA? With metal sonic?

In other news im hopeful for the professor layton movie. The cutscenes n the games kick so much more ass when you realise that this is a regular guy. No training in pretty much anything other than being an archaeologist and lots of practice in solving puzzles.
Also a sweet hat.

Yeah, the sequel was straight to DVD here (in the UK) too.

1st one was really good, second one was definitely watchable and good fun but even sillier than the 1st.

Awesome, i was gonna say that one.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker is another.

Ah, damn, was ninja'd XD Well done.

Advent Children though? Seriously?

I thought Gentlemen Broncos was pretty good. All the crap you have to watch to see parts of the book are worth it.

Resident Evil: Degeneration
Oldboy (Korean Film)
REC 1 (Spanish Film)
Dead Snow (Dutch Film)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete (Blu-Ray Edition)
Zombies of Mass Destruction
Dance of the Dead

As you can see, I have a thing for Zombie movies and Foreign films...

 

[adumb24]

Idiocracy excellent movie

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

I can't think of any, but Shawshank Redemption was almost straight to DVD.

 

[Jfswift]

I actually liked Total Recall 2070 which went straight to vhs / dvd.

 

[superbatranger]

None that I can really think of, but I'm sure there are some out there.
