conscience:
Nice collection. I like that you keep it small and selective.
Best:
The Leopard (a forgotten epic of unprecedented scope)
The Royal Tenenbaums (possibly the best drama of the last 10 years)
The Big Lebowski (best comedy since Hollywood's golden age)
Worst:
About Schmidt (one of my three most hated films of all time)
Showgirls (sorry, not into camp)
Saved by the Bell (I assume nostalgia is involved but I'm still not sure that's a good enough reason to own it)
Needed:
Chinatown (you like Jack Nicholson but don't own his best film)
Antoine Doinel boxset (you like contemporary foreign arthouse cinema; had you grown up in the 60s, this is what you would have been watching--so why not now?)
Adaptation (there are better movies but the absence of this one sticks out in your collection)

I'll let someone else take a crack at you, but Battle of Algiers and Cassavetes are definitely at the top of my to-get list. You do know that Wonderland is not the Val Kilmer movie, but a Michael Winterbottom film? I like almost all of Winterbottom's work. And I suppose we can agree to disagree on Wonder Boys.
Our collections are very similar. If I liked horror and you liked French cinema more, they might be virtually identical.

for fryinpan1 - it should be up there but as I did this tons of others posted!
Great collection, too many good to name, not too many I wouldn't take.
Best:
True Romance
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Event Horizon (I really dug this movie)
Le Pacte des loups aka Brotherhood of the Wolf for us Americans
Worst:
I Spy
Double Take
National Security
Sweetest Thing
etc.
etc.
guess you can tell I don't like these type of comedies.
Need:
Analyze That (to go with This)
Black Hawk Down
Master and Commander Collector's Edition (just because I can't find anything else you need and this is such a nice dvd compared to the barebones.)

Antoine Doinel boxset intrigues me.
Adaptation. Loved the movie. Got it at BB as a PVD. Sold it cause i want a dang SE!! I remember seeing it in the theatre and myself as well as everyone in the audience just jumping scared to death at the two

Arrested Development Season 1
Garden State
Worst:
Charlie’s Angel: Full Throttle
Napoleon Dynamite – I could not finish this movie
America’s Sweethearts
Most Needed:
Obvious:
Family Guy Season/Vol. 1
Futurama Vol. 4
ROTK: EE
Not so Obvious:
Either Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Space Ghost: Coast to Coast
Alias Season 1
South Park Season 1
Most needed upgrade:
Donnie Darko Director's Cut - Especially as a Kevin Smith fan (he appears on the commentary track)
