Doesn't this depend on your personal tastes? None of the titles you listed in your original post are "must buys" for me, and I'm sure my advice as to "must buys" would be close to useless to you.

Not too much for me but a few titles of keen interest:

Land of the Dead (next week): Be great to own all the Romero zombie movies
Batman Begins (next week): Can't wait to rewatch the best action film of 05
Batman (89. next week): DTS
Wizard of Oz (3-dvd set): Man, all those extras!!
Tales from the Crypt S2: (25th): S1 whet my appetite for TftC and it was only 8 eps, can't wait for a full season.
King Kong (33): Finally, thanks PJ. But I'll watch this one instead.
