Blood or no blood, Die Hard 4 is st.

Yes 2 isn't great but I assumed it was part of a trilogy box set like I have so needs to be kept.

DH4 is an Oscar worthy masterpiece compared to the drivel that was DH3.

I'd add Road Trip to the DVD collection.

Oh, is there a TVR in it? I only like it for the somewhat revealing shots of a certain Ms. Berry

Add in Man on Fire and A Bronx Tale and you've got my DVD collection !

[MrV]

You should add Band of brothers to that list

[StevenJJ]

Looking across (and trying not to duplicate anything that's gone) I'd throw the following into the mix:

American Graffiti - significant for the cars and the simultaneous following of the characters
Memento - not one to watch as a 'switch-off and be entertained', needs multiple viewings
Lucky Number Slevin - big hitting cast and superb story, doesn't hold back but not gratuitous
Repo Man - dip a toe into the surreal


That's it, everything else as a must own from my shelf has been noted above... I may add a few more now on the strength of this thread...

[Bullett]

Trying not to repeat.

Full Metal Jacket
Alien
Aliens
The Priness Bride
James Bond (all of them but especially SC films)
Italian Job
Monty Python Holy Grail/Life of Brian
Highlander

There are more but I'll add them later
