I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I find it hard to tell others what a must have list is when in comes to personal tastes...
Joe Six Pack doesn't like Ghandi (nor do I actually )
I like Saving Private Ryan... wait TV Guide doesn't list it... oh it must suck then... same goes for Pulp Fiction...
Damn, I gotta see a shrink

Coming from TV Guide this is a mighty good (if solidly mainstream list). Kudos for including The Limey, one of the greatest DVDs ever. Yes, I have most of them.
Glaring omissions: L.A. Confidential & Untitled (Almost Famous director's cut)
