Since no one else mentioned it...for the wrestling fans out there...WWF (now WWE) Tough Enough Season 1 is a must own.
Great idea for a thread. I'm really enjoying reading about all the must have DVDs. I guess Band of Brothers is now on my want list due to all the great reviews here.

Band of Brothers
From The Earth To The Moon
James Bond Collection Set
Twin Peaks - Season One would merit to be in this class but without the Pilot Episode .... no.
Funny, don't remember any votes for any of the Criterion box sets ...

I didn't see the original Outer Limits (vols. 1 & 2) mentioned yet--that's one of my favorites.
And thanks to previous mentions on this forum, I just got Ultraviolet, which I love.
Blackadder is awesome, and the funniest comedy of all time, Fawlty Towers, is a must-have.
I've borrowed the Sopranos, and those are all fantastic.
And for films, I love the Daimajin boxset of the three movies.

If you are referring to the extras, then Buffy is better.
The shows ?
Buffy will never mean as much to me as Angel does.

All of them.
I used to think long and hard and always end up posting my entire collection up to that point.
I have yet to meet with a disappointing box/TV DVD set.

In light of all the recommendations for the "Band of Brothers" DVD set, I have a quick question--for someone who wasn't won over by "Saving Private Ryan" would you still recommend BoB without hesitation?

anyway......I absolutely loved Band of Brothers. It captivated me in a way that SPR could never. And I feel that episode 6 alone is worth the price of the entire set. I love epic stories.....and the miniseries format was perfect for a story like BoB......It can take the time to tell parts of a story that would be axed from a theatrical film. The first episode takes its time to tell a part of the story that would probably be done in the pre-credits sequence of most modern films.....and the last episode or two are almost a coda or afterwards that would not be able to be told at all in a film. I guess I just love long stories.
but to answer the question, yes I would still recommend (and have many times) Band of Brothers even though I was not won over by Saving Private Ryan.
