    • This would be, like, the best thing ever. Ever. Even better than "The Godfather DVD Collection." Just a thought.
    • What you really want on the DVD
    • Everything. How about four discs? Commentary(s), deleted scenes, extended three-hour version of the film, behind-the-scenes from the eighties, brand new behind-the-scenes retrospecitive for the DVD, behind-the-music, a look into John Hughes, actor biogrophies, the creative process of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" - everything and anything that can be packed onto a DVD. Forget all the other Paramount DVDs - this would be the ultimate one.
    • Would you like a tribute to John Candy on the DVD?
    • If you didn't I would die. I mean, he's one of the best and at the same time underrated actors ever, which makes him no. 1 in my book, because a lot of other great, tremendous actors got their paid honors, and Candy died too soon for people to really take notice of his acting side. Y'know what I'm saying, Paramount?
    • Would you buy the special edition DVD if it is released?
    • I would have to check out a shrink if I didn't.

    • As an ardent capitalist, I believe solidly in the laws of supply and demand. As you can see, the demand is there. What is absent is the supply. For capitalism to work, to progress, and to provide for the beneficence of all... demand must be supplied.

    • I think this is one of the all-time funniest films ever and it is a shame that it hasn't gotten much respect over the years.
    • What you really want on the DVD
    • Bloopers, commentary, archived making-of(s), a revisited special with the actors, new and old interviews, actor profiles, trailer(s), and lots more. Give it the full treatment, make it "Planes, Trains, Automobiles & DVDs," pack it with stuff, just like you do with, say, "The Godfather Collection," because I think it's just as good and deserves a lot.

    • This is my favorite comedy, next to "Happy Gilmore." It's a shame about John Candy dying and all. Wish he was here today so they could do a full feature commentary with Hughes, Martin and the Candy-Man.
    • What you really want on the DVD
    • Everything, but if I had to choose one thing, it would be a full length feature commentary with director John Hughes and actor Steve Martin. Get them both. Not just one. Hughes has interesting tidbits to share, as seen (or heard!) on his F. Bueller commentary, And Steve worked closely with John Candy, and is a funny guy to listen to. Get them both. It'll be the best commentary of all time.

    • I just love this movie so much it hurts. Paramount, I'm really mad about the last DVD that came out (which I thought would at LEAST have a trailer!), so make this new edition good. Listen to the guy who made this thing, and all the people who signed it. Big companies like you don't like to admit it, but face it: We're all you've got. Without customers, you go bankrupt. So stop trying to control us and let us, the consumers, control what we want, and I sure as ***** know I want a "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" Special Edition DVD with EVERYTHING on it! Two discs! Four discs! Nine discs! However many it takes to create the best-ever DVD! The best transfer! The best sound! And then on the other eight discs special features with good transfer. That pisses me off, too, DVD special "documentaries" and such never have good sound or transfer. So start a tread: MAKE THE BEST-EVER DVD, PARAMOUNT, OR I WILL BOYCOTT YOU, AND SOON THE WORLD WILL, TOO!

Did you know this film is considered his best? Ok, remember Close Encounters of the Third Kind? If you make it, they will buy. I'm talking money out the wazzo.

    • What you really want on the DVD
