My DVD collection pretty much consists of the following: the complete box set of the Avengers tv series, various Audrey Hepburn movies, Trading Places, Top Secret!, To Die For, and the complete Inspector Morse collection. It's ok but rather sad. My husband (from whom I'm separating (amicably)) has the larger collection (and is justifiably hanging on to it)) and so I'm going be buying in the near future. I'm just curious to see what other people regard as essentials. thanks.
Oh - I'm going to get Office Space.

I can only tell you which ones we have, because I can't really say I have a "must have" list, as I only recently got a DVD player, and was doing all right without it, but I digress. Here is the DVD selection chez dtb:
- Office Space
The Shawshank Redemption
Babette's Feast (there was an article referencing this movie in the food section of the NYT this week, and I was so heartened to discover that there are others -- well, at least one other person --who love this movie, and "feel" it as deeply as I did -- that sounds corny, but there it is)
Sense & Sensibility (the Emma Thompson version)
Trading Places
Simpsons (random seasons)
Sponge Bob - Season One (I know, this is very low-brow, but I can't help it -- I think it's hilarious)
The Office (my most oft-lent DVD, by the way)
LOTR Trilogy
Spirited Away (a kids' movie -- but awesome)
I will probably buy Sweet Home Alabama -- not because it's a particularly good movie (or even a little good), but I could stare at the dude who plays the southern husband all day long...
Now that I've read everyone else's lists, I will give my oh-so-coveted endorsement to the following selections:
- Crouching Tiger
Fight Club
Kill BillS
Usual Suspects
Spinal Tap
Princess Bride (I actually have this -- but on tape, so technicaly, I couldn't include it in my prior list -- I'm a stickler for rules -- except for the one about answering your question -- you know, the FIVE thing?)
