DVD's

[Poker In the rear]

This was probably posted/asked before but I cannot find it on the search function. I want to start growing my DVD collection, and I wanted to know what are some good movies to get. I like all different types of movies such as dark comedies, regular comedies, action etc etc. Some of my favorite recent movies are Fight Club Being John Malkovich, Big Lebowski, Royal Tenenbaums, Usual Suspects etc etc

any suggestions to help me out?

[Eomer]

You could go for some classics, one of the best movies I have ever seen is One Flew Over the Coocoo's Nest. Specfuckingtacular.

I dunno, it's hard to make suggestions because there are hundreds of excellent movies available, if not thousands. Not to mention personal preference varies so much.
