i third bladerunner and the shawshank redemption, also to kill a mockingbird is an astounding classic (b&w)

Ikrik:
Woah...Looking at my library of DVD's it's missing Bladerunner, The Godfather, and Shawshank......what the hell is wrong with me?

I have and love Leon, Casablanca, Full Contact, Hard Boiled, One Flew, and Memento (along with a couple others).  I am a huge Kurosawa fan: Hidden Fortress, Yojimbo/Sanjuro, Drunken Angel, The Bad Sleep Well, and Seven Samurai are all part of my collection.

I'll definitely check out pretty much everything recommended, I have Babel but I've never really watched it (and I'll definitely pick up Edge of Heaven)
I'd heard of Six String Samurai before...and I only needed an excuse to get it.
I have a couple Criterion DVD's and jesus christ they're amazing.  They truly are worth forking out 50-100 for.....they really, really are.
Is Woody Allen worth it at all?  Or is it as overrated as I think he probably is?
I'm really interesting in Korean films...I've seen The Host, Shiri, and The Vengeance Trilogy (Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance)  But if anyone can recommend some others, that would be sweet.

KvP:
The problem with Woody Allen is that he stubbornly insists on making a movie or two every year. He's like Prince. Lots of filler, but when he's on, he's pretty well on. Annie Hall is considered by many to be the best romantic comedy ever filmed (clearly those people have never seen About a Boy) Recently the only thing people liked of his was the thriller(?) Match Point. We'll have to see how his new un turns out.

SonofZ3:
What about:
M-Fritz Lang
Pan's Labyrinth- Guillermo Del Toro

and, although they might not impress people:
Ikiru- Kurosawa
The Thin Red Line- Terrence Malick

L.A. Confidential is really good. I don't know how you feel about musicals, but Fiddler on the Roof is a classic. 3:10 to Yuma (the newest one) is also a kick-ass western... oooh, and while we're on the subject of westerns I really like Stagecoach (one of John Wayne's earlier movies), The Shootist (one of his last), and although it's set in Australia The Proposition is another good movie with a western flavor.

Wow, my categories are all over the place in this post.

EDIT: Also, American Beauty. I just watched it for the first time, but I plan on going out and adding it to my OWN movie collection tomorrow.

Sheesh. I just realized that all the movies I listed here (except for Fiddler) have either John Wayne, Guy Pearce, Kevin Spacey or Russell Crowe in them (each has appeared in two of the above movies). L.A. Confidential  has Pearce, Spacey AND Crowe in it.
