Cool thread. Does anyone know what the most valuable or hard to find titles are? It'd be easier to know which titles are considered most rare if we had a list of current resale value or difficultness to find. Whats the most anyone has ever seen a dvd go for on ebay??
As for me, im not sure which is most rare, but i do have some of the early criterion: killers, hardboiled.

IMO, well worth the price for Lynch fans & the transfer is stunning. Not rare, however.

Just added This Is Spinal Tap: CC and the recalled Little Shop of Horrors to my collection, in regards to rare discs.

If you don't like Lynch, I would not consider Eraserhead. At the very least, rent it from a local indie-type video store. Or Netflix it, they carry it. You'll pay at least $40 and the risk of you not liking it (assuming you already do not enjoy Lynch) is substantial. That said, I love Eraserhead. I could watch it 24-hours a day.
As far as it being available outside of DL.com, I know that is in the works. But at the moment, DL.com is the only source.

1) Salo White Ring CC
2) The Killer CC
3) Wrong Men & Notorious Women Collection
4) This Island Earth
5) MST3K: The Movie
The original CC pressing of Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" will pop up in the $100+ range sometimes as well. From there, it's pretty sporatic, i.e. "This Is Spinal Tap" floats anywhere between $60-$100.

Second would be the VCI release of Monte Hellman's The Shooting. I searched for over a year for this OOP disc; finally found it online ... in Denmark. Although many EBayers have advertised this DVD, nearly all are selling an inferior PD release from Madacy or Passion Productions.
Third, the Limited Edition Tin of Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop from Anchor Bay (with collector's key chain!!
).
Last, the limited edition Chinese boxset from Sino Movie, Hou Hsiao-hsien Classics: From 1983 to 1986.
I've watched all of these (and even loaned a few to friends), and couldn't really care less about what they're worth (they're mixed in with the rest of my DVDs, and I don't wear white gloves when I handle them). I buy DVDs for the films themselves, not as an investment (but it's cool for people who are into that).

I hate to sound totally opportunistic, but what kind of prices does it bring?

1. the 2004 Finnish 3-disc Director's Cut version of BLADE RUNNER, remastered anamorphic widescreen, English DTS 6.1 ES, commentary with Scott, Ford, Young, and Hauer... which also includes 3 hours of features/documentaries (in English) on disk 2, andthe Vangelis soundtrack is on disk 3.
I was lucky enough to order it online before they pulled it off the shelves, since it's taking forever for the Region 1 NTSC special edition.

Anyway, I don't have anything too weird that's rare, just the standards; 'Little Shop', 'MST3k', 'Spinal Tap', and the Hitchcock box. And the Disney Treasures discs, but those don't seem to sell as high anymore; I have all the Mickeys plus Goofy, Silly Symphonies, Donald, and War Shorts...
I just sold off a bunch of my second-tier rare stuff on eBay, because of reissues ... got $30-$40 each for 'Robocop' (Criterion), 'Muppet Movie', 'Return of the Pink Panther', 'Blues Brothers', 'Mallrats', and 'To Kill A Mockingbird'
