Thanks!

I have Rocky on my list. The Superman sequels are getting the SE treatment and The Apes boxset are all non-anamorphic titles. I believe those titles are also getting new 16:9 releases.

1. "The David Lean Collection" (i didn't even know they had that, but what classics!)
2. "The Italian Job" (1969) (i've always wanted to see the original)
3. "Rikki Tiki Tavi" (one of my favorite movies growing up, they always played it in my elementary school. i even named my cat after the mongoose)

Worst:
1. "Deep Red" (i don't like giallos, i don't like giallos, i don't like giallos)

3. "Timeline" (really?)

Most Needed:

2. "High Tension" (you seem to have some oldish horror, how bout some new classics?)

Best Three:
- Lost: Season 1
- Nightmare on Elm Street Collection
- Arlington Road

Worst Three:
- Freddy Got Fingered (I like Tom Green quite a bit, but this movie shouldn't have been made)
- xXx (not a Vin fan, sorry)
- Napoleon Dynamite (Mildly amusing, but definitely not as good as people say it is)

Most Needed Three:
- Final Cut (2004) (great new movie with Robin Williams. Slightly reminiscent of Minority Report... but good.)
- SLC Punk (any movie that starts with Punks beating up Rednecks should be watched by everyone at least once)
- Bad Taste (no one's collection is complete without Peter Jackson's first horror/comedy)

SomethingMore...

BEST-You've got many, so this is no way exclusive...
The Godfather Collection- Need I say more?
Black Hawk Down-3 Disc Delux Edition-The film looks/sounds great and great documentaries on the actual events.
LOTR EE-I know it's redundant, but no other dvds have more to offer in a set.

WORST
Crash (Cronenberg)-I just don't like it. BTW, why does James Spader always play a pervert in his movies?
Empire Records
Donnie Darko
-To this day, I just don't get the appeal.

NEED
The Incredibles-a great addition to Finding Nemo
Band of Brothers-especially if you really liked SPR.
Warner Film Noir Collection-Some fine films to add to your other Film Noir set.

My DVD Collection

For dizzlle01:

Best 3:
1. Batman Begins
2. Memento LE
3. Star Wars Episode III

Worst 3:
1. A Guy Thing
2. Mary Poppins
3. Superstar

Recommended 3:
1.Rashomon: Criterion Collection - Branch off of Seven Samurai and see the other side of Kurosawa.
2.Spaceballs - Mel Brooks at, well not his finest, but definitely good for a laugh if you like your Star Wars.
3.Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 - If you like Tarantino, or if you like your action movies to be colorful, gruesome, finely acted and stylish as hell, then check both of these out if you haven't already - they count as one DVD in my eyes.

Worst 3 - Hard to find considering the size of your collection.
Boondock Saints, The (Rated) (1999) - Worst movie EVER (IMO of course)
Surviving the Game
XXX: State of the Union - Special Edition

Top 3
Sin City - Recut, Extended, Unrated
Clerks X
Panic Room - Special Edition


Need 3 - Hard to find any that you need, but my best shot.
Deadwood - Season 1 - Great show.
The Game - although you may be like me and waiting for a re-release.
Alien Quadrilogy (To round out your Alien collection)

BEST

Good Will Hunting - Canadian Ed. This was the best (only anamorphic title available) version out there in any region for some time.

True Romance - SE Excellent movie (somewhat underrated) and excellent disk set.

Die Hard - Five Star Ed. IMO, one of the best American action movies made .. ever.

Honorable Mention

Leon: The Professional - Deluxe Ed. The best R1 release available to date. I need to upgrade.

WORST

Very difficult to choose as you have a very solid collection. Think of my opinion as those things that just did not interest me, but aren't necessarily "bad" movies by any standard

Signs Just couldn't get into it and thought it was Shyamalan's worst out of his first three releases.

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones Got mine used for $5 and it's in a pile to be sold. Just couldn't stomach the last phase of the trilogy.

Don't really have a third, except to say that I'm not really into your dramatic romance choices. Then again, maybe I need a steady girlfriend to change my opinion.

MOST NEEDED

Coffy or Foxy Brown Since you're into Tarantino, why not check out some of his earlier influences.

City of Lost Children You don't have much foreign interest it seems, though if you picked up Amelie and liked it, check out another title made by the same director. It's not the most tangible as in intro. into foreign cinema (it's very quirky) but it carries many of the same trade mark characteristics as Amelie.

Skin Deep A brilliantly executed and IMO very underrated comedy starring the former Jack Ritter . I always find this one an easy recommendation.

Cheers ...
