Sullivan's Travels

The Seven Year Itch

Aliens

The Manchurian Candidate

[Darrel Johansen]

Tough one. I will think of it as, "Which DVDs would I take with me if I were going away for the summer and could only take 8 to watch on some HT somewhere?" With that question, I choose:
2001
Blazing Saddles
Das Boot
Blood, the Last Vampire
Dr. Strangelove
Shakespeare in Love
From the Earth to the Moon
Godfather Collection
(And I'd sneak Stop Making Sense, Carrie, Plan 9 from Outer Space, Patten and U2-Rattle and Hum in my underwear).
...then I'd make up a custom boxed set using my color inkjet printer called: "DJ's Favorite Movie Collection: The Boxed Set" and sneak in Days of Heaven, Seven Samurai, Fantasia Collection, Amadeus, and 81/2). :b
