Dude... I can't believe you don't have...

Well, I'm starting to run out of DVD's that I simply have to have.

I know that I cannot be reaching the end of the line in my DVD collecting.

So if I could impose on some time here to take a look at my collection (link in the signature) and give me some recomendations.

I know there must be some films out there that I am overlooking.

My tastes are very broad, but I tend to lean towards strange films.

Thanks in advance!

The Art of Buster Keaton (or any of the individual discs)
The Prisoner MegaSet
The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T
The Night of the Hunter
A Zed and Two Noughts

I see you have Royal Tenenbaums & Rushmore, but no Bottle Rocket.

I see you have Big Lebowski, O Brother..., & The Man Who Wasn't There, but no Barton Fink or Miller's Crossing.

Other suggestions:
High Fidelity
Swingers
Made
The Usual Suspects
Zero Effect
Permanent Midnight

Defintely pick up Blood Simple, Barton Fink, and MIller's Crossing. All three are excellent movies and you can finish your Coen Brothers Collection...
