I don’t think I could stand to see ANY DVD more than a few times, and I’ve got a lot of favorites, so I wouldn’t bother with DVDs. Oh, and I’d do Pam. ---

A film’s “rewatchability” sometimes has nothing to do with it’s actual quality. **Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure Raising Arizona Repo Man Monty Python and the Holy Grail Monty Python’s Life of Brian** are the movies I can watch over and over again, so that’s what I’d take. ---

The Princess Bride Pirates of the Caribbbean Little Shop of Horrors (1980’s musical version) A Pocket Full of Miracles Wallace & Gromit box set (3 short films would fit on one DVD) and I would SO do Johnny Depp (or Val Kilmer for that matter) ---
