Go to ebay and type in tour de france dvd and you'll get an offering from all the latest TDF races to include all of the ones Lance won. They are much cheaper than if you go into a bike shop to pay full retail. I believe each year is offered in four or eight hour versions with some going as much as 12 hours. I find that the four hour long versions are perfect. 03 is a good year but 01 is absolutely awesome where Lance destroys the competion with his climbing skills. I just ordered the 2000 a few minutes ago; I understand this is also a great year with Lance dueling with the late Marco Pantani in an epic battle up Alpe d'Huez. Have fun they are all great. Every once in a while you will come upon some older DVD's showing Greg Lemonds victories but I haven't seen any of them. The coverage seems to get better every year due to the quality of the cameras and ability of the cars and motorcycles to stay with the cyclists.

A Sunday in Hell (http://www.worldcycling.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=WCP&Product_Code=HSTDHELL&Category_Code=&Search=y%3ADVD%3B+r%3ASUN&Search_Type=AND&Offset=0). Watch it. Love it.
I'm not clear whether you're watching strictly for enjoyment, or to learn a bit more about the sport (although these aren't mutually exclusive). You can spend a load of money on the TdF dvds, but as a wise friend once told me, the heart of road racing is in the one-day races. And you'll get heaps more out of watching those.
