NAME 10 DVD'S, THAT MAKE YOUR COLLECTION STAND OUT

[FromDuskTillShaun]

Everyone has different taste in movies. We all know that. But I'm curious to see how much they differ. I would like everyone to name 10 DVD's, or boxed sets, that you think stand out in your collection. These are the movies that best describe the kind of person that you are.

1.) BAND OF BROTHERS (BOXED SET)
2.) DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978): ULTIMATE EDITION
3.) HALLOWEEN (25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION)
4.) SHAUN OF THE DEAD
5.) FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (BOXED SET)
6.) ARMY OF DARKNESS: OFFICIAL BOOTLEG EDITION
7.) SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (D-DAY 60TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION)
8.) RESEVOIR DOGS (MR. BLONDE EDITION)
9.) HIGHLANDER (SEASONS 1 - 5)
10.) FRIDAY THE 13TH (BOXED SET)

Remember, this is all in good fun.
