 | The Wizard of Oz
Buy used from: $8.50 Sparkly shoes, scary neighbors, friendly munchkins...what more could a gal want? I think this is Judy Garland's greatest performance.
|
 | A Hard Day's Night
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $5.99 Not just because it was the first (and best) film starring the Fab Four. This was a 60s comedy that set the bar higher for crisp, witty dialogue and pure zaniness.
|
 | Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (2001 Special Platinum Edition) (1937)
Buy used from: $8.48 Pixar may have become the animation king, but there is no competition with Disney's first feature film in color, fluidity of motion, and simple beauty.
|
 | Gallipoli
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.99 Little known to American and European history buffs, the deadly battle between the ANZACs and Turkey during World War II is respectfully represented here, wrapped in a heartfelt story of two rival athletes who sign up for the mission together.

 | Apocalypse now
Buy used from: $6.10 Best Vietnam epic....even though it was based on a book about the Amazon.
|

|
 | The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition Series)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.94 This second effort of M. Night Shyamalan remains his best, IMHO. One you definitely have to see twice. At least.
|
 | Diabolique (Criterion Collection Spine #35)
Buy new: $27.49 / Used from: $15.49 This French suspense flick was very influential on many of Alfred Hitchcock's later works. There are enough twists and turns in it to make you dizzy.
|
 | Four Brothers (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.66 An urban "western", based on an old John Wayne film. But not your father's western.
