My DVD Collection...a work in progess

Hey ya'll...I'd like to say thanks to my lovely girlfriend who shouted out the titles for me to actually get this done!!!

I will always be updating this list, so check back often

If you have any questions about any of the movies listed, go ahead and ask them here!!

cheers

http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?id=jbriscoe

if you have figured out my preferred genre, let me know the "must own" that Im missing!!

Looking at you list there you seem more of a Drama kind of guy. It says you own 75 Drama based titles there. I didnt see "Primal Fear" in there. That one you may enjoy. Very good film I thought.

Well, I only count two movies much older than the 1970s in your collection: Casablanca and 12 Angry Men. Two great movies, to be sure, but some other bonafide classics I think should be in everybody's collection and that anybody would enjoy are The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948 - John Huston), His Girl Friday (1940 - Howard Hawks), The Asphalt Jungle (1950 - John Huston), In A Lonely Place (1950 - Nicholas Ray), The Ox-Bow Incident (1943 - William Wellman), Singin' in the Rain (1952 - Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly) and many others.

And perhaps I just missed them on your list, but is it possible you own no Hitchcock flicks? You should remedy that immediately. I recommend starting with North by Northwest, Notorious, Psycho and Rear Window.

hey thanks guys...ya, the classics I definately need to work on...Im a younger guy so a lot of the classics I just don't know...but Im going to keep a look out for the ones you mentioned (most of Ive heard of, but a couple I haven't)

thanks again!

I would recommend (unless i missed them)

other recommendations....

Thats a few off the top of my head

__________________

I have Spaceballs and Shawshank...Holy Grail is on my list to get, Life of Brian I've seen but won't buy...Chucky and Elm Streets, Im waiting until they get cheap...and Ive never heard of Green Street or Love, Honour & Obey, so I'll have to check them out!! cheers

No Airplane! or Animal House? I suggest you get those movies...

__________________

^^^haven't seen them cheap yet!! lol

What!?! You NEVER saw Airplane or Animal House? You're missing out....

of course I've seen them, I haven't seen them cheap (to buy!)!!!

"Surely you cant be serious. "
"I am serious, and dont call me Shirley."

You gotta invest in The Naked Gun, even if it's just the first one...

Brilliant film...

Oh, my mistake. I thought you meant you haven't seem yet.

Sorry.

If you are trying to build up some comedy titles, I highly recommend going back to the golden age, the hayday, the true roots. Here are some comedy essentials:







Anything from any of these individuals is priceless, but these are some of the very best.

thnx for the suggestions Cpt. D! I'll have to check those out...Im embarrassed to say Ive never heard of any of them, although I know a decent amount of Keaton and Chaplin...just not their movies!
