I received **The Usual Suspects** special edition (yes, I already had the regular version), and the first season set of **The West Wing**. I’ve already watched five episodes of the WW - I love it. 😉 I may end up getting the first season of **Law and Order** with some returns credit as well. And **Glory** , Ghost World is great. It cemented my notion that Thora Birch is as capable an actress as she is smokin’ hot. 😃 ---

I didn’t get any. I was hoping for “Once Upon a Time in the West” or “Gangs of New York”. I looked for “Ferris Bueller” for my wife, but couldn’t find it. However, my birthday is coming up. 😉 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brag-about-your-new-dvds/221529.md?page=2)
