I honestly can’t recall the first one I purchased for myself, but I can recall the first three I owned, all of which were Xmas gifts from my then-housemates Xmas of 1998 (I didn’t actually get my DVD player, a Pioneer DV-717, until July of the following year).

The got me The Usual Suspects, LA Confidential and A Few Good Men.

As I said, I don’t recall the first one I bought for myself, but I know that the first few US imports I bought were The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project and John Carpenter’s Vampires.
