It's now three years since I got my DVD player and I'm about to buy my 200th disc. When I was approaching my 100th I asked the forum to have a look at my collection and tell me what I was missing.

I was fortunate enough for a few of you guys to take the time to scan the list and put forward some great suggestions - I'd like to try again for my 200th!

The last 8 purchases have all been from TV, and the two on pre-order just now are Season 3 for Ever Decreasing Circles and The Brittas Empire - so that's 10,and I'm trying hard to resist Frasier too, so lets make it a film please

Thanks in advance

I'm insanely jealous that you have Wallace & Gromit's Cracking Contraptions on DVD. That being said, I see that we have similar tastes, so I must recommend Run Lola Run.

Well, from looking at your list I can tell we have different taste in movies so it makes any sugestions harder.

In general I can feel the absence of Al Pacino movies in your list, maybe you could consider one of those for your 200th.

Regards,

Andre

Stewart,
You have an excellent collection.
I noticed though that you're a little light on "classic films" - so perhaps I could recommend a few.

Citizen Kane
The Godfather
Casablanca
Chinatown
Sunset Blvd.

If you prefer something more modern...

Aliens
Jaws
Pulp Fiction
Toy Story
The Usual Suspects

-Mike

Traffic: Criterion Collection would be my main suggestion
I noticed an absence of Evil Dead films
2-Disc of Unforgiven?
