I like looking at the movies, but I dont really see the point of buying discs anymore. The only way I can see that being worth the cash is if I get wind that one of my favorite movies is about to go out of print, and it's future availability is murky.

Why isn't it worth it? If I like the movie and plan on watching it in the future, a disc is still going to be the best way to watch it for a long time.

I don't like spending money or having lots of things in my house.

I posted a list of my top 100 movies in some thread a while back. It was an alphabetical list. I have no idea if I could actually whittle it down to 25 and then rank them. That would be super difficult.
Okay... I think I was able to figure out my top 25. Something like this:
1. Mulholland Drive 2. Fight Club 3. Do The Right Thing 4. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) 5. Vertigo 6. The Shining 7. Barton Fink 8. 2001: A Space Odyssey 9. The Godfather 10. Memento 11. Upstream Color 12. Eyes Wide Shut 13. Midnight in Paris 14. Amelie 15. Donnie Darko 16. The Hudsucke Proxy 17. Blue Valentine 18. Annie Hall 19. Fargo 20. Broken Embraces (Los abrazos rotos) 21. Lost Highway 22. The Butcher Boy (1997) 23. The Graduate 24. Dancer in the Dark 25. Rear Window

Stellar list Joey. I haven't seen three of them, and Dancer In the Dark was too depressing for me to value very highly, but the other 21 are some of my most favorite films of all time.

Has there been a stellar fictitious film about food besides Ratatouille? Chef, Chocolat, and Spanglish are all pretty dull. The Trip movies are ok, but they're more of a spoof of the culture. The Milagro Beanfield War is pretty great, but that's sort of a stretch.
