That's what makes these threads so interesting... Personally, I don't own, nor want to own, T2 - Monster's Inc - Star Wars - And I gave my ex my Toy Story discs... I also don't own Fight Club, Gladiator, Shrek, Spider-Man, either Harry Potter, any Disney (other than Fantasia), etc...But I do own The Matrix and LOTR... I'd say those Guzzlefish numbers are fairly correct and guess that ~ 75% of DVDTalkers own one or both of those films.

Heh heh, good one.
My first guess was The Matrix.
It was actually IIRC the first DVD I bought.
I remember when I got my player I was able to choose 2 free disks from a list. I choose Goodfellas and Bladerunner.

LOTR still comes in at #5 and #11, not bad.
EDIT: To add LOTR Theatrical at #11

About the Guzzlefish #s, you gotta remember that the average Joe with 1-50 DVDs isn't gonna enter his/her collection into that. Only hardcore DVD fans (i.e. ppl on this forum) would do that.

Also, all members here don't use Guzzlefish. I use DVDProfiler.

There have been @ two dozen movies thrown out here, and I own exactly one of them (Pulp Fiction).
I don't know if there is a correlation with the collections here, but I see the Austin Powers and American Pie films in almost every DVD Aficionado list I look at.

I'd have to guess "My Schoolmate, The Barbarian"! Ha, ha!
Where do you people get all of those little smiley icons anyway?! I was going to insert a laughing one here, but I don't know how to, or where to get them!
Anyway, anybody besides me even seen this DVD?

Can;t believe that after years of hanging out here, the shere mention of Good Burger makes me chuckle 
classic .. can you imagine it will come out specially packed with a label "as being mentioned 100.000 times on DVDtalk.com) ...
back to topic .. I wonder how high "Lost in Space" would be up there ... yes, it was a crap movie and I usually just watch the first 30 minutes and the lesbian scene between Heather and Lacey (wait, that only happens in my head .. oopps.. sorry) ... but that thing came with pretty much every DVD player !!!
I have to agree with Matrix .. was the first movie i watched in a theater WANTING to have the DVD when I got out (had no player or DVD back then) ... I have an R1 and R2 version now ...
LOTR .. easily best markeiting to get people to buy both sets .. and , oh .. by the way a HIGHLY successflull and great movie ...
once we have nailed down a top 20 .. we should do a poll .. just here .. for us .. see what comes out
cheers

I would have to go with The Matrix followed by LOTR, then followed by LOTR Extended Version.
According to DVDAF:
7810 own The Matrix
4633 own LOTR
4494 own LOTR Extended Version
