Here is my collection (in my sig) any recommendations? I have allot in my wish list that I'm picking away at, but other then what’s there.

I'll just go with the generic approach:

War

Maybe try out some older war related films:

Tora, Tora, Tora
Stalag 17 (nice mix of comedy for your tastes)
Kelly's Heroes
Dirty Dozen

Little foreign war ...

JSA (Joint Security Area)
Tae Gu Ki

War Documetary

The World at War
The Occult of the Third Reich

Sci Fi

Older stuff:

Omega Man
Solaris

Animated Sci Fi:

Akira
Metropolis
Final Fantasy: Spirits Within
Spriggan

General Sci Fi:

Equilibrium
12 Monkeys

Comedy

Again, movies existed before 1990 ..

Fletch
Three O'Clock High
Better off Dead
Skin Deep
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Gang - Yakuza

Check out some foreign titles ...

Branded to Kill
Rainy Dog
Bullet in the Head
Full Contact
Fudoh: The Next Generation
The Yakuza Papers
Attack at the Gas Station
Cyclo

Decent collection overall .. it's exactly how mine started before really getting into cinema. I'll give it a B for now, as I see some promise with your direction. And there's so much more left ...

Q: Interesting recommendations for him. I would have recommended many of the same (except for foreign. Not a big foreign fan myself, but that is just me.

Anyone have any recommendations for me? I have really been concentrating on TV shows recently, but have a decent amount of films overall as well. Just over 500, I think (last link in sig).

Thanks!

Hi Guys, I just wanted to get some "expert" opinion on a direction to take my collection in the future. I just wanted some blind buys that might peak my interests. Thanks!

Can you guys recommend anything? I'm starting to slow down on the catalogue titles because I feel like I own everything I want to see (aside from my impossible goal of owning the entire Criterion Collection)
I

if you own all of the catalogue titles you want, why buy more catalogue titles? Why not just stick to newer releases, both of new and old movies.

Check my wish list... you may find something there. Specifically, I would suggest Welcome to the Dollhouse. One of the best movies i've seen recently (even if it was on VHS).

I remember! Did you get in a fight there or something? Or did you just get bored and leave? Just curious.

Oh, and my collection's in the sig if anyone cares to comment...

The Exister nice collection

Good use of sub folders.....I like viewing collections with some sort of theme

Thanks. Good List! The only one I've seen is The Station Agent. I didn't particularly care for it, but I see where that recommendation would come from. The Barbarian Invasions and With a Friend Like Harry have been on my "Need to See" List, so I'll check those out. "City of God" is one that I would recommend anyone needing a jumpstart in foreign films. It's probably my favorite movie of the last few years, and one that I need to get ASAP.

Can I have some more "viewers like me" opinions on mine and possibly some recommendations of movies/genres? Thanks in advance. And let me know if you want me to peruse yours...

Alright, fire away.

Very nice well rounded collection. You have many titles that are on my wish list. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that you need more Kung Fu movies!

Your options are much better if you are region-free. It doesn't appear that you are since I didn't see any other region discs. You may want to check it out. I got my Toshiba 4900 for $86 shipped and it is a progressive scan player with DTS and haven't looked back.

Some titles I really like:

36th Chamber of Shaolin (Celestial)
The Five Venoms (Celestial)
Shaolin Temple (Celestial)
Iron Monkey (Honk Kong Legends)
Green Snake (IVL)

Are all top notch, imo.

Looking over your collection a second time, I notice that you don't have any schlock. Get a little down and dirty and pick up Hellraiser, Suspiria and Re-Animator.

Please give my collection a once over and let me know what you think. I think I need more comedy.

anybody?

Check mine out. Got any opinions? Recommendations? Etc.? Just Curious...

Thanks,
Chris.

I like it. Good selection of different genres. Could use a little more Sci-Fi.

And you need Simpsons Season 4

helloooooooo?????

Helloooooooo here too! Just a "that's a damn fine collection" would be enough.

That's a damn fine collection.

Seriously, it is very nice. The only thing I noticed, is you've got Evil Dead 2, but not 'Evil Dead'.

can we stop posting until others have gone? that way we can all have a turn and not got usurped and lost in the mix? k..tanks!!

Scott1598-very nice collection! OK, I'm game...what do you think of mine?
