There Will be Blood
The New World
Mystic River
12 Angry Men
Adaptation
I Love You, Man (you have Sarah Marshall)
Swingers
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Raiders
All of Hitchcock
...
...
Your missing lots and lots and lots, but thats just from my perspective. I probably like different movies to you, and so will everybody else. So really only you can decide when your list is complete.
Also how did you legally acquire the Social Network on dvd? Just curious
Hush, you. :pac: I, uh, screened it.
I'm not sure why I like Sarah Marshall, I don't usually go for those films, but I hate I Love You Man. The main character is so freaking annoying!
Rest of them I'll add to the list of what to get. Cheers!

Everyone is right :pac:
The Miyazaki movies have very good English dubs, its mostly Hollywood actors that do them if you dont want to listen to the Japanese version.
You should get The Mist as well, saw you have Green Mile and Shawshank down there, its another great Darabont/King collaboration, just make sure you watch the black & white version, its way better.
Poor vision, Krudler, I already have the Mist on there, in HD, in black and white. One of my favourite movies ever, and far and away my favourite Stephen King movie now.
And @William Powell, if I did it in a list form it'd take an age to scroll through the list, screenshot's much better for me. Also, I'm already familiar with basic Windows functions. 0 -

TV:
30 Rock
Community
Psych
30 Rock and Community are standard 22 min long comedies, the first about a saturday night live type show on nbc, the second about community college. They are both very well written and very funny.
Psych is a 44 min comedy about a guy pretending to be pyschic who helps the police, I quite like it, your enjyment will depend on whether you like the main character and his banter with his side kick.
The Mentalist
Misfits
Supernatural
The Mentalist is a police procedural, the twist being that the main character used to be a showboating tv psychic whose on screen antics get his family murdered by a seriel killer, so he teams up with the cops to hunt him down. Somewhat humorous in parts, like psych this will depend on whether you find the main character charming or ridiculous.
Misfits is an awesome british tv show about a group of teens on community service who get super powers. The emphasis, however, is not on where the powers come from (ie its nerdy), but more on very witty writing and the interaction of the group with other people who end up with powers. Its very interesting and very well written (Nathan, the Irish guy, is one of the funniest characters on tv).
Supernatural is a modern day fantasy about two brothers hunting the demon who killed their mother whne they are children. Again, well written with a good story, the banter between the brothers is very well done and the show isn't afraid to show a bit of blood.
Films:
Most of what I would suggest has already been suggested. Maybe someone esle has suggested The Iron Giant, but its so good that that wouldn''t matter. Directed by Brad Bird (he of Ratatouille and The Incredibles fame) its easily up there with the best of pixars best, and is my favourite animated film. 0 -

#Put off watching The Wire as long as possible because once you've watched it other shows just won't cut it anymore. (seriously)
The thing about The Wire is that after all the hype about it being the greatest tv show of all time, when you watch the first episode you kinda think "meh", now I thought the exact same, my flatmate had been banging on about it for months,and when I finally watched it, I was a bit underwhelmed, but I stuck with it, about 4 episodes in I got the pacing and started getting into it. Then I watched all 5 seasons of it over about a 3 week period, I was honestly watchin 3-4 episodes a night at one stage over weekends, its that good.
There'll be other great tv shows, there'll be other amazing tv shows, but they wont be The Wire 0 -

I'm all about curve balls in a collection: the films that not everyone has but add a bit of an edge and individuality to your collection. So, while browsing the IMDB top 250 is fine and all, here are some off the beaten track suggestions, personally tailored to you based on the screenshot.
Because you have Where the Wild Things Are and Toy Story, get My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away: Sometimes the best kids films are the ones you never actually saw as a child, and Studio Ghibli have made some of the best. They're probably the greatest animation studio ever, and IMO these count as their two crowning achievements. Plus, there's loads more to dip into if you like what you find: the Studio Ghibli collection looks amazing on.
Because you have Evil Dead and 500 Days of Summer, get Hausu (House): You may have noticed the discrepancy between the two films on your list, but House succeeds in its bizarre blending of bubblegum pop and cartoonish horror. I'm currently singing the praises of this film to anyone who cares to listen, but it's a big ol' pile of awesome.
Because you have Eternal Sunshine and Lost in Translation, get Quiet City: There's something to be said for mature, sensible romances, and I recently discovered one of the best with the help of boards. It's a highlight of the mumblecore scene, and one of the simplest, most engaging romantic films I've ever seen. If you dig this, dig Funny Ha Ha.
Because you have Bad Lieutenant, get Acquire: The Wrath of God: While Herzog's recent output has been insanity personified, he's always been that way. Personally, I still think Wrath of God is his purest, strangest, most oddly beautiful film.
Because you don't have it, get The Big Lebowski: because no collection is complete without the funniest film ever made.
Because you have The Vengeance Trilogy and Three Extremes, get Audition: because there's nothing quite like it, and the disturbing masterpiece of one of cinema's great shockmasters.
And as everyone else has said, for the love of all that is good get The Wire: because it's the crowning achievement of television as an artform. Although Mad Men comes close

More!
I actually saw Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke (not Studio Ghibli, I don't think, but a gem all the same from what I remember), Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro etc when I was quite young, between 11-13, so they hold quite a bit of nostalgia for me. I'd forgotten them, though, since I moved away from anime/cartoons as I got older.
Also have seen Audition a few times now, it's definitely.. a very interesting film, but I don't think it deserves the reputation it's got. I like it, but there's far more interesting, gruesome, engaging Japanese films out there (though imho the South Koreans have this mastered a little better).
Added the rest to my list!
Thanks to everyone who's replied so far btw, going to use this list as a reference for a long time. Great suggestions from everyone.0 -

+1, fantastic show. First season is a little slow, but seasons 2-5 are brilliant. The quality never wavers throughout the seasons.
On movies. I noticed 'The Goonies' is missing :eek: best childrens movie ever
'The Incredibles' - Another Pixar masterpiece. Up there with 'Up' IMO. (Wall-E is Pixar's though)
'Glengarry Glen Ross' is a masterclass in acting. Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin. Just brilliant.
'Star Trek' (2009)- Ok hear me out, its a sci-fi movie. But it is an exceptional one. Great cast/script/acting/effects. I dragged my OH to see it in the movies, she hates sci-fi but she loved this.0 -
