If I could prioritize that easily, then I wouldn't have CDs and DVDs multiplying like rabbits!

1. Goodfellas
2. Taxi Driver
3. JFK

[stevesurf]

It is so hard to think of some additional titles that have not been mentioned but...
Field of Dreams
Seabiscuit
Star Trek - the Voyage Home
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Austin Powers International Man of Mystery

 

[Bunnyears]

I've got shelves of dvds that haven't been mentioned, including Casablanca, Bringing up Baby and Top Hat, the greatest musical non video ever made. And that's just scratching the surface!

 

[D-EJ915]

#1-4: The Transformers: The Movie
#5: Akira

 

[The Actual]

In alphabetical order:
Akira
Apocolypse Now (not Redux)
Empire Strikes Back
Scarface
Waking Life

These aren't really the best movies ever, but I think that they are a good starting place.

 

[Buffalo Bill]

• The Silence of the Lambs
• Office Space
• Forrest Gump
• Saturday Night Live: The Best of Will Farrel, Vol. 1
• Family Guy DVD Sets

Each serves it's purpose; but mainly comedy for laughing. I included the SNL DVD because it's essential; alot of internet comedy roots from sketches on that DVD. Furthermore, alot of these choices are very inexpensive; in fact, 4/5 should be under $10. I included the Family Guy discography as a whole because I find alot of people make refrences to Family Guy in real life, and you don't want to end up not understanding a joke because you missed out on a great show.

While most of you will gloss over this post, I highly suggest adding any of these to your collection because of how full-circle fullfilling they are. Plus, they are a cheap, easy pick-up.

 

[Mr.PD]

My top 5 that no home should be without;

1. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World from 1963 (cameo appearances by famous comedians like Buster Keaton, The Three Stooges, and Jerry Lewis plus others)
2. Men In Black
3. The Blues Brothers (important artists like Cab Calloway, James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Twiggy)
4. Shrek (or Shrek 2)
5. Hollywood Knights (See Tony Danza, Robert Wuhl, Fran Dreischer, and Michelle Pfeifer before they were famous, plus the famous Tony Nancy makes an appearance. Any movie with Tony Nancy has got to be owned

)
[size=xx-small]Okay, if you are not into old hot rods you may not know who Tony Nancy is.[/size]

 

[bootman]

Top five is tough.
Are you looking for disks that really show off the format or just top movies of all time?

Then there is all the different genre of movies!

I can give you top five gangster, Sci fi, drama, horror, etc.

Hey, I can't live with just 5 disks!

 

[Nisbeth]

I know box sets/film series are cheating, but anyway;

- The James Bond series
- The Monty Python series
- The Band of Brothers series
- Das Boot
- Blues Brothers
