Oh, sorry, that's my gf's list. My poor collection is so diluted now. :(

*shudder*

I'm glad you put in the clarification; I was going to have to revoke your man card.

Mine:

5th Element
Independence Day
Buckaroo Banzai
Fight Club
X-Files
Mummy/Mummy Returns
Matrix trilogy
Deep Impact
ST: First Contact
Star Wars I and II
The Time Machine
Babylon 5 (seasons 1-5)
Batman
Stargate
Dune/Children of Dune (scifi channel version)

And probably a few others I'm missing along those lines...

Oh, forgot about that one, but my alibi is that I don't actually own it myself. My friend has the Superbit version, so whenever we need to do calibration/video tests, he usually just brings it along with him.

BladeRunner Director's Cut
The original cut isn't even available on DVD, is it?
Technically speaking, that is the original cut. The one shown in theatres was a modded version with different music and a voice over.

Here are some real must haves:

Airplane!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Phantom of the Paradise

Them!

Dirty Harry
