If you had to choose 20 Blu Rays in your entire collection to keep for all time on a desert island, which would you choose?

Kind of like the if you can only choose 1, 5 or 10 BD on a desert island threads?

Do I get to bring my big screen and surround sound system? Also, I assume there is a generator on the island and a hut so I can keep the sand out of my speakers? I kid.

My list (counting entire series as 1 and not necessarily in order):
BSG series
LOST series - will remind me of the island
MAD MEN series
LOTR box set
BAND OF BROTHERS
PLANET OF THE APES box set
TDK
WoOZ - will remind me I'm not in Kansas anymore
The Prestige
3:10 to Yuma
FIREFLY box set
STAR TREK TOS - all seasons
BOURNE trilogy
Braveheart
Gladiator
Contact
Falling Down
PLANET EARTH box set
MONSTERS INC (my favorite Pixar movie)
Shawshank Redemption
