The original cache contents are:
Die Hard (pleinjeu)
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (Ice Dragon)
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (prize for a gatekeeper)
Battle of Britain (prize for a gatekeeper)
Almost Famous (MrGigabyte)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (syphid)
The Big Blue (hollyburn)
The Sixth Sense (blackeyedpete/Helen & Theo)
Kung Fu Hustle [VCD format]

DVDs left by other cachers:
The Aviator [blackeyedpete/Helen & Theo]
Charlie's Angels [blackeyedpete/Helen & Theo]

Please take only ONE DVD. There is a DVD for the first six finders. For the FTF there is also a Yellow Jeep Travel Bug. If you take a DVD, please place a few things in the cache valued around $5 (no need to match the cost of the DVD itself). That would be appreciated and will keep the cache well-stocked when the DVDs are gone. Thank you.

Feel free to email me to confirm your coordinates, I'm more than happy to confirm coordinates for anyone. If you're emailed for hints on any of the puzzles, please don't give away the farm, thus lessening your own accomplishment. If you absolutely must help out a friend, perhaps wait until the six DVDs are gone. I'd prefer that people who figure the puzzles out on their own get the good prizes. Thanks.
