Ugh, I can't do a top 10. I've seen way too many DVDs over the years but the following I think every movie buff should have in their collection. They are not necessarilymy favourite movies, but they are just great DVDs.
Led Zeppelin DVD - simply one of the best music DVDs ever, featuring several concerts, rare performances, interviews everything!
Star Wars - all the Star Wars DVDs are lovingly put together, the original trilogy is the best to own, but Episodes I and II are bursting with cool extras.
Almost Famous Bootleg Edition - An extended cut of an already fantastic film and great extras.
Lord Of The Rings Extended Editions - if you want a class in how to make a big budget blockbuster then everything, and I mean everything is included here! Probably the most comprehensive DVDs ever.
This Is Spinal Tap - lots of deleted scenes AND music videos too.
Fight Club - there's a top-notch commentary with Fincher and the cast, multiple angle stuff, deleted scenes, featurettes. Just a really well put-together DVD.
Alien Quadrilogy - nine discs and more than 40 hours of bonus material.
Rushmore/Royal Tenenbaums Criterion Editions - you need to see the DVDs to see just how much detail goes into Anderson's films. The art galleries alone are wonderful.
Citizen Kane/Gone With The Wind - these are two of the best classics on DVD, not just because of the quality of the films, but because of the extras on the DVDs.
Jaws 30th Anniversary Edition - the two-hour documentary on the making of the film is superb.
The Godfather box set - you need to buy the box set to get the excellent bonus disc of extras.
Any Pixar film - Finding Nemo/Toy Story/Monsters Inc etc...
Oh and tonnes more, I could go on but I'm starting to bore myself!
