I maiinly came here to tell you that The Princess Bride does indeed rule, but here are some more suggestions of the top of my head.

Perhaps...
Requiem for a Dream
Crouching Tiger
Braveheart
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Any Kevin Smith films
Ronin
Triplettes of Bellville
Amelie
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Any Monty Python

As for music dvds: Tool - Salival (not concert footage, though) and Pearl Jam - Touring Band 2000 and Live at the Garden. :icon14:

Oh yeah, the Godfather trilogy DVD package with Extras DVD. I even liked the 3rd movie.

The first one is sublime and an epitome of a grand mob family movie

Actually, I'm not a huge fan (thought it was well done, but I liked Pi better). But I know a lot of people who love it, so I thought I'd make the suggestion.

And yes, quite a downer.

one of the greatest movies ever made, and part of my collection

LotR extended is probably the one(s) I'd rescue if the house was burning though

Rust Never Sleeps - well, it was originally released in theaters
The first G3 DVD. Definitely not the secone one. Oh no.

p.s. I just wish there was a non-special-edition version of Aliens. The original theatrical cut was much better paced and had a better sense of suspense before they jammed 13 minutes of crap and, admittedly, 2 minutes of good stuff in there.

Glad I found a fellow Bride fan.

O Brother was one of the first DVD's I bought; I love that movie.

I saw Blazing Saddles in the store last night though, and entertained buying it. But it's been so long since I've seen it, I'm not sure how well the slapstick humor would hold up to me.

And Monte Python flicks are already on the list. :icon14:

hmmm....my DVD plays the theatrical and director's cut.....I think it just adds/shuffles/removes some scenes.

the story was boring, the animation was average compared to others of the genre, and the only thing that made it watchable was Eddie Murphy.

You totally missed the numerous humerous jabs at fairytales then. Of course it's a boring story, cause it's farcical.

I dunno what movies you're referring to, but at that time Shrek was purdy good looking and maybe one of the best at that time.

I named them for their sheer entertainment value.
I find both movies really hilarious and quite rewatchable.
