What are the must own movie box sets (dvd or blu ray)?
 
I own a lot of box sets. The ones I own that I consider must buy: (in alphabetical order)
(I'm limiting my list to just 10)

Alien Anthology blu ray set
Astaire and Rogers complete collection dvd set
Humphrey Bogart essential collection dvd set
James Bond collection blu ray set
The Godfather trilogy blu ray set
Alfred Hitchcock the ultimate collection blu ray set
Stanley Kubrick collection blu ray set
Laurel and Hardy essential collection dvd set
Nightmare on Elm Street collection blu ray set
Star Wars saga blu ray set

Some other sets I own that I really like include: Back to he Future blu ray, Batman blu ray, Frank Capra dvd, Tony Curtis blu ray, Deanna Durbin blu ray, Superman blu ray, Elizabeth Taylor 20 film legacy dvd collection, and John Wayne 20 film legacy dvd collection

What sets do you own? What sets do you consider essential?

The Indiana Jones one that included only the first three.

The Alien one.

The Blade Runner one that includes all versions (does it count as a film or a set). Same with Dune.

The Godfather trilogy.

The Special Edition Star Wars, which include the non-remastered original movies.

A few nice Bunuel box sets.

The Mad Max box set.

The Michel Audiard box sets.

The Jean Rouch box sets. The Denis Gheerbrant box set. The Flaherty box set.

The Romero Living Dead box set (only includes the first three, but both versions of Dawn).

The Jason Bourne box set (with only the first three)

and I wish I could say the Leone Box set, but alas, most Leone DVDs have the worst possible cuts of his films, with missing or additional, weirdly dubbed scenes. Barely watchable.

I don't count series or miniseries (Riget, Flying Circus, etc) which are their own thing I guess.

A list of some box sets/anthologies I own that I'd consider extremely valuable, "must have" releases:

[Release Title — Studio/Label Distributor]

The Henry Fool Trilogy and The Long Island TrilogyPossible Films (self-published on halhartley.com)

The Jacques Rivette Collection (8-disc edition, includes Out 1 noli me tangere/Spectre)Arrow
Or you can get Arrow's regular 6-disc set (without Out 1) along with Carlotta's box release of Out 1 since it's what Arrow used for their release of it.

It's the Alien Anthology six disc blu ray set with two different cuts of the first four films (Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection) plus lots of special features, interviews, commentaries and behind the scenes footage.
