Must Own DVDs


I have always been a fan of the cinema and have recently fell in love with watching some of my most loved films on DVD. Now that my laptop has the ability to play Dvds i decided that i should get some more and so i have begun to collect a few of my favorite movies on DVD... and i was wondering what you guys thought would be included in a category of "must own dvds"

I have the following dvds:
Sleepers
Frailty
Brokedown Palace
John Q
Darkness Falls
A Beautiful Mind
Minority Report
LotR
Remember the Titans
Spiderman
What Dreams May Come
The Emperor's Club (haven't watched it yet)
Donnie Darko
The Pianist
One Hour Photo
Signs
The Others
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Road to Perdition
Matrix
Artificial Intelligence
13 Conversations about one thing
Red Dragon
The Cell
Spirited Away..

Ok, and more...

of those, i think everyone should have...
The Pianist
John Q
Awakenings (because it is such a great movie!)
LotR ( any of the dvd sets)
and maybe Frailty... just because of the creep factor it has.

Ok, so what is your list?
Thanks!

The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

Not all war movies are good. Red Dawn was complete crap.

If you like any form of anime, the Cowboy Bebop series is a must (both the TV show and the recently released movie).


Another personal fave is Apocalypse Now (Redux), a great Vietman action chiller with very provacative dialouge.
