MUST own dvd's

[Dominic]

I'm sure you'll get a bunch that everyone knows, so I'll give you two that most don't have, but are MUST HAVES for any cinefile:

The Decalogue

Blue
White
Red

(or, The Trois Coleurs trilogy)

All by Krystof Kieslowski.

why are there no porno movies in this thread???

[astroglide]

american pyscho, big lebowski, your friend and neighbors, and lost in translation are the first ones that jump to mind.

maybes include rushmore, spirited away, godfather 1/2, a few others.

there are so many i've bought and watched 0 or 1 times. i don't even have netflix and i manage to stay amused with cable/ondemand 99% of the time when i'm actually in a movie mood. with more ondemand stuff (especially high definition) i won't see much of a reason to own any of it.

i only buy very special cds for car listening, otherwise i just use rhapsody and stream it. if i had satellite radio in my car i doubt i'd care about owning a single cd.

The Fifth Element--superbit edition Best PQ and DD 5.1 sound you will find, a great DVD to demo your system.

If you're going to buy Fifth Element, go ahead and get the "Ultimate Edition". It's 2-discs. The first disc is the Superbit DVD. The 2nd disc is extras.

(And, strangely, it's generally slightly cheaper than if you buy the "Superbit" edition.)

I agree. I work for the cable company and have every channel and OnDemand service available. Still, there is rarely anything OnDemand that I'm interested in watching (that I haven't already seen).

I have a Netflix subscription and currently have over 250 discs in my queue. I go through about a dozen discs per month. I love it.

I'm sure I'll watch more OnDemand content when it starts being available in HD.

And I'm nearly positive I won't buy another DVD until HD/Blu Ray hits the stores.
