The one and only one I've bought is Forest Gump.

Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

The Matrix

Kinda shocked that I’m the first to say it. I thought it was everyone’s first DVD.

The BeeGees concert to play on my brand new, single disc player.

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.

Tombstone - Christmas 1997 (as I recall)

Still have that one too.

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 believe it was Jeremiah Johnson

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.

Someone gave me a copy of Ronin.

And I think that was quickly followed up by a purchased copy of Yojimbo.
