Re: What are the gems of your collection?
I have well over 1000 exclusives, and it's difficult to think of my favorite ones. It would have to be one where it wasn't just the scarcity of it that made it special, but the actual content.
So perhaps some of my MST3K exclusives or the disc that came in the Making of Jaws book that contained a piece of the Orca

Re: What are the gems of your collection?

I'd kill for that thing.

I should've gotten the briefcase when I had the chance.
Blade Runner (Original Pressing)
I'd kill for that too. Apparently bootlegs are ubiquitous.
Anyway, the only genuinely rare Blu-Ray that I have is the new Twilight Time disc of The Driver, which was apparently limited to 3,000. As far as DVDs, I have the Criterion disc of Ran and the Paramount release of The Transformers: The Movie.
