Usually when they try this they try to make it a game. Like I recommend some titles based on your taste and then another poster recommends some titles based on my collection. Other things to include could be fav movie of poster's collection, least fav, etc. Go ahead someone can start.

C_Fletch,

The Spy Who Came In From the Cold (after seeing your amount of Bond, you must like spies )
Stalker (if you liked Solaris, I'm assuming you did)
Once Upon a Time in America (you seem to like Leone a bit and this is IMHO his best)

You have quite a bit of sci-fi but no Alien movies.

True Romance
Goodfellas
Kill Bill (unless you want to wait and see how future editions pan out)
The Shining
The Stunt Man
Boogie Nights
Se7en
Good Burger

Oh, and just about everyone probably should have a test/calibration disc like "Avia: Guide to Home Theater" or "Digital Video Essentials." (Unless you have one and don't have it listed in the collection)

Another spy movie recommendation:
The Ipcress File (1965) w/Michael Caine
If you like this one there are a couple of other films in the series based on the novels of Len Deighton.

Also, I noticed you have Glengarry Glen Ross, for which David Mamet wrote the screenplay (based on his play). You may want to give a couple of the films he directed a try. To start I would recommend:
The Spanish Prisoner
Heist
