Squirrel God....i thought you were a bit drunk....then i saw you picked after hours (while not Scorcese's best as you claim) it is a wonderful film.
and I think T2 is the best sequel. that you need to back story for....they give you everything you need to know, and the flick stands alone.
now someone get fryingpan1...

The Animal is an admittedly guilty pleasure of mine. I love I Am Sam and Coyote Ugly though so no chance of me getting rid of either I'm afraid! I do think the theatrical cut of Coyote Ugly is a much more coherent film though, so only own the Extended Version for what you might think I own it for

I'll do Bugg ... woah, that's a lot of DVDs. Well, here it goes:
Best 3
Grave of the Fireflies : maybe the most moving film I've ever seen, and the perfect comeback for snobs who think anime is just inherently "lesser" than other genres
Suspiria : one of my favorite, and most rewatched, horror movies
Spartacus : Criterion + Kubrick = must-own DVD!
Worst 3
Blade Trinity: of all the Blade movies to pick, you had to buy this one?
Day of the Dead 2: Contagium: Hands down worst movie you have. What happened, did you accidentally buy this instead of Romero's "Day of the Dead"?
Joe Dirt: This makes Adam Sandler movies seem like works of comic genius
Needed 3
Laputa: Castle in the Sky: my favorite Miyazaki movie
Save the Green Planet: you like Asian movies and have a wide-ranging taste; I'd think this would be up your alley
Ran (Criterion Collection)

I'm sure experts in the Horror genre can confirm that I own some truly crappy movies. Some I'm ashamed to look at on the shelves, but I just can't get rid of them (kind of like the screw-up relative/friend you know will never amount to anything, but you still wouldn't turn them out).
1. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
I know ... no argument. I picked it up on a cheap 2-for-1 deal with the first movie.
2. Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
Not a Jay and Silent Bob fan? "Dogma" is my favorite, but I still like this movie. And Kevin Smith commentaries are sometimes better than the movie.
3. Survivor: The Complete First Season
But I need this DVD in order to finish my comprehensive Colleen Haskell digital photo collages ... uh ... forget it
Most Needed 3:
1. Ikiru
2. The Bicycle Thief (Italian cinema does not begin and end with Fellini, you know)
Of course I know that. Italian cinema starts with Mario Bava and finishes with Dario Argento!
3. The Warner Gangsters Collection
Actually 3 excellent suggestions. There's just so many DVDs, and so little time/money.

illennium...huge collection to sort through, very few in the bunch I had a problem with. Next time I'm in NY you have to take me to some of the video stores. Killer Criterion Collection you have going on. Put me to shame for not owning up to those... and a great assortment of silent stuff. some highlights lowlifes and musthaves
Best (trying to stay away from your criterions)
Russian Ark (just a cool idea)
Weezer - Video Capture Device (crazy poet is worth purchase price)
Collected Shorts of Jan Svankmajer (you bastard i want that)
worst (OMG hardest to find in any collection I have seen)
About a Boy (just not a fan)
Bowfinger (what the hell, this is so off the radar in your collection)
Kung Fu Hustle (loved the movie, but shame on you and me both for not getting uncut dvd's from another region)
most needed (finish your criterion collection)
Six String Samurai (Palm Picture catalog)
Eraserhead
A better tommorow (i know you have seen this, everyone who watched HK action has seen it...so why don't you own it)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so i have broken my stuff into folders finally, but it feels way to jammed....enjoy.

Transformers: The Movie (Sentimental reasons, lol.)
The Seven Samurai CC (Kurosawa's finest, and a CC)
Hitchcock: Masterpiece Collection (THEE collection)
WORST:
Dark City (Biggest blemish on Sutherland's career..)
Lost in Translation (The beginning of the end for Bill Murray, IMO)
Taxi Driver (Yes, Taxi Driver! Horribly overrated 70's politcal fluff..)
MOST NEEDED:
A Bronx Tale - You've got Goodfellas and Godfather, this is the unofficial 3rd piece of the modern cinematic gangster trinity!
Enter the Dragon 2 Disc - It's just an overall better presentation, and a no-brain upgrade to be had cheap.
Wasabi - I highly recommend it as a sorely overlooked Foreign film starring Jean Reno. Great soundtrack, lots of action, and he even plays DDR!
