The Big Lebowski - 10th Anniversary EditionThe Big Lebowski - 10th Anniversary Edition
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $8.98
All Coen Bros. movies before this one were excellent, but there is something about this script that is so re-watchable.
Rushmore - Criterion CollectionRushmore - Criterion Collection
Buy used from: $14.99
Excellent movie, funny and stylish. The Criterion edition is the DVD to look for for this one.
Repo Man (Collector's Edition)Repo Man (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $8.98
An all-time favorite. 80s Punk rock sci-fi epic? It's all good.
Chinatown (Special Collector's Edition)Chinatown (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy used from: $7.93
Classic. I like my noir heroes flawed and able to be injured, and this is both of those in spades in this latter-day noir.
Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope (1977 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition)Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope (1977 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.50
The one that started my obsession with sci-fi. I feel like a kid again whenever I watch this.
Alien (The Director's Cut)Alien (The Director's Cut)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $6.00
A B-Movie Sci-Fi with a-list direction (Star Wars is too). More horror than the sequels, as well.
The Blues Brothers  (Widescreen 25th Anniversary Edition)The Blues Brothers (Widescreen 25th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.42
The best SNL spin off. Landis's best movie, too.
Young FrankensteinYoung Frankenstein
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.96
I love the source material this draws upon, and this is by far my favorite Mel Brooks movie. Hilarious and well made.
Grosse Pointe BlankGrosse Pointe Blank
Buy used from: $4.74
So weird and wonderful, dark and innocent.
This Is Spinal Tap (Special Edition)This Is Spinal Tap (Special Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.42
Always a blast. Probably the first mockumentary I ever watched, and still one of the best.
