Convoy---crappy transfer (this is the R2 German version, the best version around and widely viewed as pretty damn good)

Friends Best of Vol 1-4....I'm not a fan, but you liked it enough for this and the finale so why not jump in and just buy the seasons

The Scorpion King....you should know better....you don't have the mummy movies so its not like your just being a completist

Most Needed
Rambo Tin Box- you have the new edition of first blood and the two older versions of the sequels....but you missed the bonus disc...keep the new dvd and buy the box

original resivoir dogs dvd....you have the better/best version for most titles but should add this for the transfer quality and no audio drop outs, keep the old disc for the extras

Gone with the Wind...time to upgrade

NIce collection, some quality stuff on your shelf
see questions in bold...

I am pretty sure he means "all three" of the ones listed under "Best" are great DVDs...not all three of the The Killer Criterions. I had to think about what he meant also.

Worst:
1."The Ladies Man"
2."Let It Ride"

Now I'm not going to defend 1 & 3, but I proudly love both of them, but "Let It Ride", come on, Dreyfuss gives one of the greatest comedic performances of all-time in tha film.

Most Needed:
1."The Killer" Criterion Collection (since you have "Hard Boiled")
2."Clerks" X: 10th Anniversary Edition (just cause you have to)
3."Blade Runner" (doesn't everyone)


I LOATHE, Kevin Smith, no film of his will ever taint my collections. I'll gladly take The Killer if someone is buying it for me, & Blade Runner I really want, but I've been holding off for a better DVD release.

Best:
1. "The Killer: Criterion" (nice to see another one who snagged it)
2. "Garden State" (just wanted to give a shout out to what is becoming an instant classic and one of my all time favs)
3. "In Memoriam: New York City 9/11/2001" (I sold $500, almost 40 homemade music CD’s that took me hours to make on eBay just to contribute a little and that cover art says it all!!)

Worst:
1. "Kung Pow" (this movie was just bad)
2. "The Medallion" (where hot “Party of Fivers” go to die)
3. "Just Married" (just didn’t work)

Most Needed:
1. "Dawn of the Dead: Ultimate Edition" (you have the remake, get the one that started it all in this fabulous package, even just get the Divimax if you don’t want all the versions, but I can’t recommend the UE enough!)
2. "The Shield: Season 2" (you got 1 of this incredible series, keep going…)
3. "Daredevil: Director’s Cut" (you have the theatrical, if you liked it or mildly enjoyed it, this is the one)

Just an observation: If someone has seasons A and B but not C, that probably either means they're waiting for a cheaper price on C or they didn't like A and B enough to continue. It's pretty unlikely that they just forgot about the existence of C. So suggesting C as a "most needed" is generally pretty unhelpful.

I have time to kill at work so Silver Yummies here ya go (we have TOTAL oppposite taste, I'm just teasing w/ my little comments of your worste DVDs)

BEST:
Only The Strong - Mad respect to anyone who owns this.
The Office: Series 1 & 2 - Shows you know what true humor is. But you need the X-mas special.
Bloodsport - Bravo for owning this.

WORSTE:
Young Guns 1 & 2 - The only Westerns you own are the F'n Young Guns movies
Best of Friends Season 1 - Maybe the only thing worse than owning a Friends DVD would be owning the "Best of"
Bowling for Columbine - Special Edition

MOST NEEDED:
Jackie Brown: Collector's Edition
Mr. Show: All 4 Seasons - Trust me, you'll love it.
Any western NOT called "Young Guns"

Silver Yummies,

Thanks for the compliments. I have to agree with you on some of my worsts, they are just popcorn guilty pleasure movies. Not a Freddy/Jason slasher movie fan -- so this is comic alternative.

On need front, I do have Full Metal Jacket. The Sting is one of my favorite movies but waiting for the eventual (hopefully) OAR. I also do have Boogie Nights PLatinum Edition -- but forgot to log it into DVD Profiler !! Thanks for the catch
