While some people are trying to upgrade their DVD collection to some high-definition media (ie, Gamal and his blu-ray fascination), I am still trying to obtain my ideal collection.

Personally, I am not a DVD “collector“—not only because I currently don’t have the economic means of being one but because I rarely come across a film I would want to see again. However, there are some films I feel are “must-haves”.

First, the ones I already have. Admittedly, not every DVD I have is what I myself would categorize as “must-have”. Here is the portion that I do hold highly:

• American Beauty (No doubter)
• Big Fish
• Bourne Identity
• Graden State
• Old School
• Signs
• Snatch
• The Last Castle
• Unfaithful
• Wedding Crashers

And now the ones that I want to eventually get when I actually have the cash:

• 40 year-old virgin
• Con Air
• Dumb and Dumber (Funniest movie ever)
• Face/Off
• Frailty
• Identity
• Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (New favorite)
• Little Miss Sunshine
• Lucky Number Slevin
• Sin City
• Superbad
• The Departed
• The Professional
• The Rock
• Usual Suspects
• V for Vendetta

Personally, I like movies that are different and are not just a played out hollywood plot. There’s probably a few that I am missing but that’s about it for now.
