Lists of Bests: DVDBeaver's "Top 100 DVDs" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/35831 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. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/top100.htm Sat, 05 Dec 2009 08:10:48 GMT en-us 0 50 99 50 0 8 1/2 - Criterion Collection http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/36299 <div id="position">1</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/36299"><img src="http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00005QAPH.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div> The 400 Blows -
