The fountain does not belong in anyones collection

I would say

CETK, Planet of the apes collection (excelent sets)
BTTF

Abitante Notte · 01-29-2011, 09:35 PM

I'd have to say Death Proof, Apocalypto, and Inception. The movies just kick ass.

Nice to see someone throw out Sling Blade too. And if I ruled the world, everyone would import the Australian version of American Psycho. (even Australians)

Most have already been said, but based on my collection I think

The Dark Knight
The Godfather Part 1 and 2
Inception
The Wizard of Oz
and the Twilight Zone TV Series

are essential in any Blu-ray collection. I also might throw in Michael Jackson's This Is It.

Well then I'd say the Planet of the Apes set doesn't belong in any collection. 3 sequels is laughable!
