My top 3 DVDs:
Hoosiers SE - Includes the actual Milan game. Including real footage of its subjects is a feature more sports movies would be wise to adopt.
Criterion In the Mood For Love - Favorite WKW film...awesome DVD and packaging.
Black Hawk Down SE - Fantastic extras, great film.

Single Movies:
1) Big Trouble in Little China Special Edition
One of my favorite films of all time and a truly impressive package. This movie is also one of the most rewatchable.
2) Reservoir Dogs Special Edition (Mr. Pink)
Another favorite. The only time in my whole life I doubled dipped on a DVD just to get a better cover.
3) Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition
My favorite horror movie. It was great to have the ability to see all the film's infamous incarnations.
Boxed Sets:
1) The Ultimate Olvier Stone Collection
It might not really be "Ultimate" but it is a great collection of all of Stone's work (up to Alexander).
2) The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection
The films that made me love horror. A great technical presentation. Also contains the comprehensive 'Encylopedia' disk.
3) Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)
Three of my favorites from my childhood.
Television:
1) Family Guy Vol.1
This is probably the most watched DVD I own. It never seems to loose it puch.
2) Seinfeld Season 4
The best season of the show. I also liked how it had a running storyline.
3) Chappelle's Show Season 2
Contains so many classic episodes. Damn shame it had to end.

1.The Adventures of Robin Hood SE- A perfect DVD for a perfect film.
2.Predator SE- I've watched this film over 250 times until i lost count, favorite Arnie flick and near my top few favorite films.
3.Stalingrad- Dogs do you want to live forever?- My rarest dvd. From 1958 it's the best depiction on film of the most titanic battle in recorded history, better than that foot-in-mouth drama overkill 1990s version.

I don't like to play favorites, but:
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Chosen Collection" because honestly its all the buffy episodes in one set, its like heaven in a box...
"My So Called Life: Complete Series" because it was such an awesome series and it has just gotten rarer and rarer over the years...
"Near Dark" I love this movie and this is an awesome DVD set to go with this little known film...

It has a bunch of great extras, but most important, the anamorphic image kills the Criterion disc's non-anamorphic image.

1. LOTR Trilogy EE - The most superior dvds and incredibly interesting + entertaining. I know it's pretty sad but I worked out how much material there is (all three 4 disc editions, with commentaries) over 80 hours+ picture galleries.
2. Band Of Brothers - This is dvds not favourite films or anything right? Amazing series with great dvd set.
3. Ben-Hur - Excellent film, though not a favourite. However the 4 disc edition is outstanding, with the 1925 version.
