Must-Have DVDs

[amnesiac]

I want to expand my already bulging DVD collection.
Anyone have suggestions for essential additions? I'm more interested in action movies or any movie with good sound design (DTS a bonus.)

On my list so far:
Shawshank Redemption
Green Mile
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
Amadeus
Akira
Last Man Standing (dumb, dumb, movie...but lots o' shootin!)
Jurassic Park (DTS)


*edit*
I already have Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, and Matrix.

I don't know how many hundreds of movies I've seen, but that was the only one I've ever walked out of.

 

[weirdichi]

Blade
Blade II

 

[amnesiac]

Hm, managed to find two movies I didn't already have.
I already got Band of Brothers and virtually every action movie based on a comic book...

 

[PuppyLovinGuy]

Why didin't they ever relase Schindler's List on DVD?! Outrage I say

 

[AznMaverick]

Vanilla Sky
Pi

 

[Atlantean]

Do you have the special extended edition of lotr? Usual suspects was good, I really really like hackers for some reason and have watched it many times. Good choices on the list you made. Hmm, I have futurama, family guy, and the simpsons on dvd, those are great, the comentary breathes new life into the shows. X-Men 1.5 would be a good one to add, same with Spiderman, Blade 1 and 2, basically any marvel movie...
