without knowing you.....not sure what someone would add. I'd ask where all the Hitchcock is or maybe even something like Once Upon A Time In the West. essential means different things to different people.

Sessa, Since you have the limey...i think you may like Sexy Beast. You can have it for cheap and I love that movie. Nice collection too.
Feel free to suggest a DVD to me or make comments

my collection is a work in progress. I have quite a few holes that need to be filled. It's pretty hard to add the older discs I need and keep up with the current releases as well. I figure I will never have a "complete" collection.

I was always curious to see what people thought of my collection... it's in my sig..
ChrisHicks: C+ (You're a big fan of the shlock aren't you? That can be fun... and it can be fine for some people but I couldn't watch it like you do, this isn't a commentary on YOUR tastes... but on my relationship with your taste)
MonkeyBoy: B+ (Alot of great stuff here, a little bit too much Sci Fi/Fantasy/Horror/Shlock for my taste but still alot of great decent movies on here!)
DumDum: A- (VERY nice collection, a little poppy here and there but still tons of solid material, and Salo to boot! GREAT!)
Jough: B+ (Alot of really great of favorites here but a little too much pop... I would try for some older older releases, try and get some silent films eh? But you have a pretty cool CC collection)

I would like to see you complete your MST3K collection of DVDs and more classics would be nice, but heck you have Citizen Kane so you are alright by me.
I should also mention I love seeing people that enjoy movies from Kurosawa.

Solid starter collection. A bit heavy on animation and the usual contemporary Hollywood suspects, but all in all it seems you're slowly expanding with nice additions such as Straw Dogs and Seven Samurai. The key components of any collection IMO are quality (whatever that means to you), and diversity.
My collection at DVDAF isn't terribly up-to-date, but as usual I welcome all criticism.

oh oh my turn! (if people are willing).
http://guzzlefish.com/collection.php...=scottreynolds
This may be cheating, but already on my list to get eventually are:
Leon (International or Superbit)
Universal Hitchcock 8-dvd sets
SCTV is preordered at Blockbuster
TV Series MI-5
and long term, anything MST3k, as well as the Monty Python series set.
Any suggestions/thoughts/reviews/critiques are appreciated.

I try not to comment on someone having "crappy" movies because most collectors (myself included) have their "guilty pleasures" that seem out of place. Also, like you mentioned, the wife/girl-friends' movies will infest the collection

Tell ya what, I'd watch a German film anytime over a French film. Let's just say there's some historical and current geo-political reasons for that.

I get a minor kick out of checking out people's collections, but for myself I don't usually buy a movie that I don't plan to watch at least a few times over the years. If I am only going to watch it once, I rent. Therefore I have very Criterions and very few foreign films. If I were to make a list of my top 100 movies, I doubt if I'd own even half. My least collected catagories are dramas and suspence. I have lots of kids stuff, comedy, and popcorn flicks. I also buy TV series because I don't have cable TV and don't care for commercials. I do need more horror, martial arts and westerns which not so coincidentally are my wife's least favorites.
