The Mighty Boosh (1-3 & Live) - Woop
Minority Report - Not my favourite of films, but I keep it as it's a Philip K. Dick book adaptation I think

Old Boy - 2nd in the Vengeance series, and very cool

Z:

Zodiac - I forgot about this because Russ has it.

And there we have it, my DVD collection. As you can see it's missing a few letters, so not quite a complete A-Z, but if you have any suggestions of films then let me know, however there is one condition. I'm very proud of pretty much all of the DVDs I own and don't generally buy films just for the sake of having a film on DVD, so for instance I'm not going to buy Zoolander just so I have something for Z (ok kinda redundant now that I remembered about Zodiac, but you get the idea) as I'm not a huge fan of that film, although I have watched it and wouldn't mind watching it again, just not going to buy it. So there we go, by utilising the knowledge of the films which I already have, suggest films which I may like and could fill the gaps (Q, X, Y & Z) in my alphabetic collection.

How have you not got Shaun of the Dead?

Would also recommend Sin City (for awesome special features as well as a great film).

(also the West Wing. Always recommend the West Wing)

Don't have any suggestions right now for your missing letters, though. Will have a think.

Hi. I'd recommend anything by Akira Kurosawa, David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch.
