Here's mine
Almost Famous Bootleg Cut (I love this)
Evil Dead 2 Tin (I love this as well and it took me ages to get hold of)
Starship Troopers
Robocop CC
American Beauty.
I know this reads like a what are your favourite films thread but there's an almost emotional bond between a man (or woman) and his/her DVD's isn't there?:D
What are your five then??

The Rock R1 (Criterion)
Scream Director's Cut R2 (Asmik/Toshiba)

From Dusk 'till Dawn 2 disc
Out of Sight ( one of my first R1 and only let down by the fact i didn't get the dts version) Love the doc on it.

Superman: The Movie R1 - what can I say? I'm a sucker for John Williams' music in 5.1, and the way Donner uses the 2.35:1 frame
Army of Darkness R1 Limited Edition - well, it's not my favourite DVD by a long shot, but it just seems so valuable!
The Evil Dead R1 Elite Edition - my fave ED movie, my fave zombie movie, one of my fave horror movies, and starring my favourite actor - plus it was expensive
Se7en R1 - I'd miss it too much...the cinematography, performances, stunning transfer with awesome DTS track, wicked extras, groovy packaging
Almost Famous: Untitled R1 - my current favourite disc, and my top movie of this year (until Fellowship of the Ringp comes out, I'll bet)
1) T2 UE (R1)
2) Leon - International version
3) SPR (DTS)
4) Seven Samurai
5) Total recall SE
5) Tombstone (Vista) when it arrives.

Back to the Future Boxset
Oz Seasons 1&2 - counting them as one choice because, well, because I say so.

Pearl Harbout R1 4 disc thing - nice packaging. It folds out and out and you think its never going to stop and then there are postcards.
Armageddon CC - first double disc box I'd seen and I wept with joy and happiness.
All quiet on the western Front - original version, just because I'd waited ages to see it and it lived up to my expectations.
1. Mickey in living color - not even for the looney prices people will pay for it now!
2. futurama series 1
3. simpsons season 2
4. futurama season 2
5. simpsons season 1

Swordfish? What was i thinkin? Good film but not worthy of top 5 placing.
Fight Club and Out of Sight stays...........
LOTR: EE
Moulin Rouge and
Almost Famous: SE take the remaining places.
Wonfer if i change my mind again next year :nuts:
1. Robocop : Criterion
2. Almost Famous : Bootleg
3. Life Of Brian : Criterion
4. Ocean's 11 (2001)
5. ...... would have to be a toss-up between Dogma, Big Lebowski, T2, Wonderboys, Chasing Amy and Con Air. Wonderboys maybe just edges it, but I suspect I'd change my mind day by day!
Sorry, but 10 is a much easier number to narrow down to. I'd be hard pushed to be without any of the above.
