Kinda shocked that I’m the first to say it. I thought it was everyone’s first DVD.
DVDs were introduced in the US in early 1997. The Matrix wasn't released on DVD until 2.5 years later, in late 1999. So there were a ton of DVDs released before The Matrix. |

| Gladiator possibly. And in answer to Maximus' question, I was very entertained.

Same here. I've absolutely no idea. I'd have to think hard about even what was my first DVD player, and probably can't recall even that.

Seriously, when I bought my first DVD player it came with a set of 4 disks. One of them was L.A. Confidential. I forget what the others were, so I'll go with that. |

| I'm just guessing, but I think it may have been a Tina Turner music video. The DVDs we'd watched prior to that were rented. Jim
