The thread about the Spider-Man trilogy re-release, which brought up a discussion of the three separate DVD releases required to have all of the extras and commentaries for the first 2 movies, got me thinking about compiling a list of all of the DVD releases that are required if one wants to make sure they have all extras released for a particular film.
I've compiled this list based on the films I own, obviously this does not even scratch the surface and I need you guys to help as well. Keep on posting and the list will be updated intermittently (and this intro will soon be gone)
