Yeah, those worst three you listed I'm not too proud of. Armageddon (which I loathe) I got for free so I took it. The other two are movies I liked when I was younger so I decided to pick them up, yet I find myself less and less impressed with them as the years go by.
I haven't seen Life of Brian or Meet the Feebles, though I want to. And for MST3K the Movie, I would love to have it. I just don't wanna pay $60 for it.

With respect to Mr. Foo's collection:
Best:
Ultimate Toy Box - should be a standard in almost any collection for its universal appeal.
Cosmos: Collector's Edition - Scientific documentary that doesn't feel dated even after 25 years and Carl Sagan's ability to explain almost anything to almost anybody.
The Thing: Collector's Edition - Lest you think it's all about the box sets, this inexpensive 1-disc DVD presents an excellent movie, great extras and a special effects labor of love when you learn about the lengths they go to for the SFX.
Worst - with so many psychotronic movies, "worst" is subjective and in many cases bad is good, so I'm going on instinct here:
Barb Wire
Maid In Manhattan
The Master of Disguise
Need: how do you tell someone with over 1200 DVDs what they need?
Futurama / Family Guy collections: Since you've got Simpsons and South Park.
Cannibal: The Musical and Delicatessen: Cannibalistic entries you're missing that relate since you have South Park, Amelie and City of Lost Children.
The Quick and The Dead: you've got most of the other Sam Raimi films and his take on a western would fit right into your collection.
Honorable mention - Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life: I assume you're waiting on the collector's edition.
Edited to comment on dcambensy's following assessment
Thanks for bringing the thread back, I thought I was going to be last.
Best-
No arguments there.
Worst -
AI: Again, no argument, that one's at the top of my own worst list. Damn thing just would not end.
NYC Ballet Workout: I figured someone would comment on that. Actually, it's one of the wife's few in "our" collection. A really good workout, she tells me.
Star Trek IV: Your admitted personal discretion, but then, that's what we're all doing here.
Missing-
Casablanca: Wasn't on my want list before, but you make a good point and it should be there.
Brotherhood of the Wolf and The Navigator (1988): Thanks for picking foreign / obscure films that I otherwise wouldn't know about. I'll look into them.

Good grief Thickle.
It only took me forever and I had to just scan through some of them.
Worst:
Battlefield Earth
Cliffhanger
Singin' in the Rain

Rebecca: CC
Saving Private Ryan
Godfather Trilogy
Need:
Singin' in the Rain: SE (I see you've doubled dipped on many of your movies and this is one that should be in everyone's collection in my opinion
Band of Brothers
Fantasia Anthology
Considering the breadth of your collection not bad at all but one area that I can't really judge is your horror section as I'm not much of a horror guy.

dcambensy did mine a few posts back, so I didn't put my collection link in there. But I noticed some confusion and some people getting skipped, so I thought I would call that to everyone else's attention. Please assess DVD.guy's, Danno010, or Muah'dib's collection and refer to which one you're doing.Originally posted by AdamComic2

Ok Reggie44... here are my picks from your collection
BEST 3:
MAGNOLIA - One of PT Andersons finest flicks and the doc on disc 2 is phenomenal.
REAR WINDOW - One of Hitchcock's best films...making it one of the best films you're ever likely to see.
GODFATHER COLLECTION - Just when I think I'm out...they pull me back in... terrific.
WORST 3:
SLIDING DOORS - I don't know why, but I hate hate hate this movie.
PRACTICAL MAGIC - need I say more.
THE ANIMATRIX - I also own this, but am not a fan of it.
3 DVDS YOU SHOULD GET:
you seem to have a fair amount of Woody Allen titles and I would highly recommend TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN. It's an early picture of his and is hysterically funny... the disc is bare bones and I think it might be OOP, but it's brilliant.
SOUTH PARK - Season Sets... so...damn...good
O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? - Since you have both Lebowski and Raising Arizona, I think this other Coen gem is a must... a madcap romp that demands repeat viewings.
oh, also, I think everyone should own a copy of FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS... it should be a pre-requisite for owning movies IMO.
