Btw, the OP needs to change his avatar. I owned that card at one point and i can't even tell what it is in 80x80.

Just some favorites that are either really great, really re-watchable, great bargains, or some combination of the above:

1. Frankenstein Collection from Universal Pictures(includes original, Bride of, and a bunch of others, with GREAT commentaries!)
2. Wolfman Collection -- ditto
3. Big fat collectors edition of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly -- GREAT extras again, and incredibly re-watchable. If you've only seen it on t.v., you haven't seen it at all.
4. Spirited Away -- wistful, beautiful, intriguing anime
5. Graveyard of the Fireflies -- hard to watch repeatedly except for the fact that it's so thunderously brilliant and humane and just damn GOOD, because it's heartbreaking
6. Heat -- one of my favorite DeNiro performances and probably my favorite shoot-outs in movies
7. Futurama -- ultimately wound up being better than the Simpsons - more sly, more subversive
8. Rear Window -- Hitchcock, the most erotic kiss in movies(Grace Kelly), incredibly fun and rewatchable.
9. The Matrix -- oh, what could have been. This first in the series stands up extremely well and is terrific fun. Easily rewatchable many times.
10. Yojimbo -- my favorite Kurosawa flick, inspired "For a Fistful of Dollars" and made both Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood stars, but was huge fun in itself. Clever and transports you into a very different world.
11. The Outer Limits -- Years 1 and 2, both sets(the original show, not the remakes). Tremendous value, and many truly great stars in one of the best shows ever to hit t.v., from back when shows actually had scripts and good actors. Lots of top notch talent that went on to become major stars, inventive themes and clever ideas.
12 & 13. Seven Samurai -- the most popular Kurosawa film, outside Japan at least. Huge fun again, innovative, and inspired The Magnificent Seven, which I also highly recommend. Both have fantastic commentaries that add enormously to the fun of already superior movies.
14. Pulp Fiction collector's edition or whatever the latest big fat version is called; super great extras, super good and super rewatchable movie

Some people just don't like Futurama, but I stand very strongly by all the others being flat out unassailably very good and well worth the money. Futurama's excellent too, but I'm aware that this is one of those things, like Monty Python, that you like or you suck -- I mean, that you like or you don't.

I have other favorites of course, and I also have a big DVD collection, but that's enough for now. If there's any genre you especially like or anything and want some more suggestions or opinions outta me, I'll supply 'em.
