You can only have 10 DVD's movie singles!

Now that I've got your attention ... IF you could only have 10 DVD's movie singles what 10 would they be? Single movie DVD's not box sets or multi movie disc ... no cheating. One movie per disc. What is your recommendation for this list?

I'm interested to know what your list might be, for me it's a tough call. I'll reserve my list for later, soon as I figure out what it is.

This might be a little different. Some DVDers could be horror nuts, others psych-thriller fiends - yet, they might not want to have 10 of the exact same genre if only allocated 10 DVDs. I'm speaking purely for myself, but if I can only have 10 DVDs, I'd want a bit of variety. Course, some people's top 10 favorite movies lists might take that into account, but whatever. Here's mine in no particular order, I think:

Memento
Batman Begins
Oldboy
Spirited Away
Ghostbusters I
Fight Club
Star Wars Episode IV
Jet Li's Hero
Chasing Amy
Almost Famous

JMcCraw

Brazil
The Godfather
The Godfather Part II
Jaws
GoodFellas
Fight Club
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Big Lebowski
The Blues Brothers
Chinatown

Dan1boy

Grosse Point Blank
The Abyss
Heat
Shawshank Redemption
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Serenity
Scent of a Woman
Oldboy
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back or Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
True Romance

mdc3000

so this is pretty much the "10 movies on a desert island" question... ok:

Jaws
The Big Lebowski
Garden State
The Jerk
Goodfellas
The Empire Strikes Back
Kill Bill Vol. 2
Rear Window
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Borat: Cultural Learnings From America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (I know this one is a bit of a cheat since it's not on DVD, but it would easily make my top 10 once it's on dvd).

I don't see why this was moved. The question was about DVDs, so won't extras play into the decision?

wageslave

Well, I don't know about disks but if I could only have 10 movies

1) Neverending Story
2) Shrek
3-5) LOTR Trilogy
6-8) Original Star Wars Trilogy
9) Chronicles of Narnia
10) Clerks
