DVDBeaver's "Top 100 DVDs"

The current 100 selections were culled from over 700 contributors choices of 10 or less each. An edition must have had at least 6 votes for consideration. DVD attributes such as image/audio transfer and supplements (especially commentaries) rank very highly – in some circumstances almost comparable to film value. We allowed only individual feature film selections or shorter compilations (ex. By Brakhage and The Decalogue) – not DVD boxsets – although you could choose one film from a boxset even if it was not available individually at this time. Two, three or more disc special editions of one film are still viable.
