Help Much please?

Ok so, this seemed like the best place to put this.

My birthday is coming up and im getting money for it, my money is going to be spent on updating my movie collection. Though i know you dont actually know what i already have, but i have this issue of tending to go blank when it comes to actually buying things.

What im asking is, could you each give me a must see that you would reccommend I buy?

I reckon Goodfellas is an all-around masterpiece that should be in anyone's collection.

Any others? Im very open to suggestion at the min, Old, New, basically anything but westerns.

I'm just trying to think what constitutes an objectively great film that anyone should own (rather than try and throw in several of my favourites - as much as I like Repo Man, I can tell it's definitely not for everyone).

However, here are ten I consider objective essentials (not including Goodfellas of course)

Jaws
Casablanca
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Blade Runner
12 Angry Men
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Godfather
Lawrence of Arabia
The Seven Samurai
Dr. Strangelove

However, here are ten I consider objective essentials (what Iro said):

The Deer Hunter
Fight Club
Seven (Se7en)
The Shawshank Redemption
A Few Good Men
Saving Private Ryan
The Wizard of Oz (haven't seen that one, but think it's supposed to be a big deal)
The Sixth Sense
American History X
Moulin Rouge (I'm subjective on that one).
