I've never actually seen Movie 9, though. Is it really that good?
Me personally, I like movie 9 because of the battle island tournament that's happening in it. (I'm a sucker for those tournaments)
These are the bad guys in the movie
but overall it's not a bad little Dragonball z movie.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Movie 9 was the first Dragon Ball I watched in Japanese when I was a kid.

Well, the villains are monsteriously underwhelming, but I love it because: 1) The setting(s), 2) the fights are pretty good, 3) the soundtrack is Kikuchi's best stuff, 4) Goku hanging out with Kaio, 5) everything Mr. Satan does or says, 6) Kuririn vs Zangya, and 7) SSJ2 Gohan is the hero.
I would love to get the DBox version of that.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Maybe we might get lucky and Funimation will release a The Movies box this year

I mainly want DBTM for the first 3 movies and 13. Though I could easily eat some popcorn while watching the other ones especially if they included the dub scores.

Source?
Yes, what is your source, if you please.
http://inside.anime-expo.org/ax-scoop/2 ... announced/
It's on a few different sites. Just a thought, I hope they announce something there anyway.
