Must Have DVD's

	The Hitchcock Collection [DVD] Buy used from: £75.00 Hitchcock is brilliant, need I say more. (If you can't afford the boxset then I advise you watch "The Trouble With Harry"
	Being John Malkovich [DVD] [2000] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.00 One of the most intersting films of recent history, a film that enabled many new directors to be allowed there shot with a large budget. Spike Jonze is one to watch - just maybe ignore "Adaptation"!
	Punch-Drunk Love [DVD] [2003] Buy used from: £1.94 Less pretentious and more watchable than P.T.Anderson's "Magnolia"; the only ever performance by Adam Sandler that shows he's able to act - this is a simple story about the insanity of love.
	Amelie (Two Disc Special Edition) [DTS] [DVD] Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £6.15 It's simply beautiful to watch, some remarkable talent shot with some remarkable colours; strange to believe that this was directed by the guy who directed Alien Resurrection
	Dark City [DVD] [1998] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.23 Buy this or "The Matrix" - both are great movies for the same reasons. Don't bother wasting your money on any Matrix sequals though.
	Neville's Island [DVD] [1998] Buy used from: £8.75 The Stageplay is supperb - simply unmissable, and this T.V. adaptation is bareable and worth seeing if you can't get to the Theatre
	Into The Woods [DVD] [1988] Buy used from: £42.00 The best musical in the world - it's hillariously funny and so bleak it's deadly.
	Hamlet [VHS] [1997] Buy used from: £7.50 God knows why this isn't realeased on DVD, but it's a thoroughly glorious version of a wonderful text, Kenneth Branagh's pinnacle screen performance, both infront and behind the camera
	My Wrongs #8245-8249 & 117 [DVD] [2002] Buy new: £6.89 / Used from: £4.88 Chris Morris is a satircal comic genious - this DVD merely stands for his collection, watch them all (The Day Today, Brass Eye, Jam)
	Family Guy - Season 2 [DVD] [1999] by Seth MacFarlane Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £4.99 Family Guy is the most interesting program to ever imerge from Amercian television, if you havn't seen it then it's simply pure genious
	Brazil [1985] [DVD] Buy new: £3.08 / Used from: £3.25 Terry Gilliam's Masterpiece. A dark look at human development and the problems with bureaucracy - it's chillingly funny.
	Monty Python and the Holy Grail -- Two-disc set [DVD] [1974] Buy new: £19.59 / Used from: £1.89 It needs no explaining
	Spaced: Complete Series 1 Buy used from: £2.25 The epitome of British comedy; new british talent surrounds this series and leaves one requiring stitches to patch up there pop-cultured social position.
	Run Lola Run [DVD] [1999] Buy new: £4.18 / Used from: £2.79 Every one loves the possibilities of "What if I did that"; this German film expresses this more fluently than any Hollywood Blockbuster, or the recently acclaimed "Donnie Darko"(Another must see film)
	Charlie Chaplin - The Great Dictator [1940] [DVD] Buy used from: £32.99 Delicate and wonderfully Successful - it aviods portraying Hitler in the "JUST PLAIN EVIL" way which is so unrewarding historically.
