There some really retarded suggestions here. American Pie 2? What reason can you give that you need this on DVD before you get Apocalypse Now?

My DVD Collection
some are must haves some are not

I would argue that to make the must have list you have to have a movie that fulfills some or all of the following criteria:

1. Recent movie
2. remastered version of an old movie
3. 5.1 Surround soundtrack - my favorite aspect of DVDs
4. good special features
5. Involves submarines - always seem to utilize surround really well
6. Is animated - modern animation is SO good on DVD
7. Has "Director's Cut" or "Special Edition" or "Criterion Edition" in the title

My must have list: (keep in mind I like war/action movies)

Saving Private Ryan
The Matrix
Das Boot Directors Cut
Shrek
Apocalypse Now Redux
Full Metal Jacket
Gladiator
Braveheart

Others to consider:
Stalingrad
U-571
Godfather Series
Unforgiven
Chicken Run
Blade - New Line Platinum Series
Terminator 2
Usual suspects
The Abyss - Special Edition
Blade Runner Directors Cut
Toy Story 1 & 2
Seven
Run Lola Run
Armageddon - Criterion Edition
The Rock - Criterion Edition
Rocky - Special Edition
Brazil - Criterion Edition

Apocalypse Now or the newely released Apocalypse Now Redux version, also Ginger Snaps, would for sure be on my short list.

I edited my above list and criteria

(mostly to add Criterion Editions)
