Re: WHat are the essentials for any dvd collection
wrong section of the forums 
But anyway:
1) Shawshank Redemption
2) Band of Brothers
3) Forrest Gump
4) Taxi Driver
5) The Deer Hunter
6) Das Boot
(in my opinion of course)  |

Thread moved.
My opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of the AV Forums or the associated websites.
If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.

Re: What are the essentials for any dvd collection?
Again it depends what movies you like. I am a horror fan so I would be biased, but to give a good cross section from old to new movies I would suggest (in no particular order):
Gone with the wind
Psycho
Catch me if you can
Mississppi Burning
Falling Down
50 First Dates
Naked Gun
Crocodile Dundee
Ghost
Kickboxer
Halloween
and more....
