An excellent check list of DVD's to rent/own is on the book 1001 Movies to See Before You Die. It contains virtually every film that's worth a damn between the birth of film to 2002.

ang pangit nung format ko... will work on it some other time

but here's the trivia i found on afi 100 songs

Facts (and some opinions) About the Choices for the Greatest American Movie Songs:

The 1960s had 20 songs in the top 100; in descending order for the other decades: the 1950s were represented 17 times, the 1970s 16 times, the 1940s 14 times, the 1980s 13 times, the 1930s 11 times, the 1990s 6 times, and the 200s 3 times. There were none from the 1920s.
The earliest song on the top 100 list was "Isn't It Romantic" from Love Me Tonight (1932) at #73. The newest was "All That Jazz" from Chicago (2002) at #98, and "Lose Yourself" from 8 Mile (2002) at #93.
Two seasonal songs placed in the top 100: "White Christmas" at #5, and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" at #76.
Two counter-cultural films featured these honored songs: "Born to Be Wild" from Easy Rider (1969) at #29, and "Aquarius" from Hair (1979) at #33.
There were no Beatles songs among the nominees -- and obviously, in the winners list.

Three musicals succeeded in having their three nominees honored in the top 100: Singin' In The Rain (1952): "Singin' in the Rain" at #3, "Make 'Em Laugh" at #49, and "Good Morning" at #72; The Sound Of Music (1965): "The Sound of Music" at #10, "My Favorite Things" at #64, and "Do Re Mi" at #88; and West Side Story (1961): "Somewhere" at #20, "America" at #35, and "Tonight" at #59.
Two unrelated versions of "New York, New York" made the top 100: "Theme From New York, New York" in New York, New York (1977) at #31, and "New York, New York" in On The Town (1949) at #41.

Judy Garland was represented five times on the list: "Over The Rainbow" at #1, "The Man That Got Away" at #11, "The Trolley Song" at #26, "Get Happy" at #61, and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" at #76. (Garland's daughter, Liza Minnelli had two songs on the list: "Cabaret" at #18, and "Theme From New York, New York" at #31.)
The only other individual represented five times on the list was Gene Kelly: "Singing in the Rain" at #3, "I Got Rhythm" at #32, "New York, New York" at #41, "Good Morning" at #72, and "Long Ago and Far Away" at #92.
Barbra Streisand was represented four times on the list: "The Way We Were" at #8, "Evergreen (Love Theme From A Star Is Born)" at #16, and two Funny Girl (1968) songs: "People" at #13, and "Don't Rain On My Parade" at #46.
Two others were found four times on the list - Fred Astaire: "Cheek to Cheek" at #15, "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" at #34, "The Way You Look Tonight" at #43, and "That's Entertainment" at #45; Julie Andrews: "The Sound of Music" at #10, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" at #36, "My Favorite Things" at #64, and "Do Re Mi" at #88.
Popular title songs from many musicals or other films failed to make the top 100: "Three Coins In The Fountain" in Three Coins In The Fountain (1954), "Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing" in Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing (1955), "An Affair To Remember" in An Affair To Remember (1957), "Charade" in Charade (1964), "Born Free" in Born Free (1966), and "Thoroughly Modern Millie" in Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967), to name a few.
Nominees from rock musicals that surprisingly didn't make the top 100: "The Time Warp" in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), "Big Bottom" from This Is Spinal Tap (1984).

Although "That's Entertainment" in The Band Wagon (1953) ranked at #45, nominee "There's No Business Like Show Business" from Annie Get Your Gun (1950) didn't make the cut.

53. Amadeus (1984) - also a best pic.

60. Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
65. The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - also a best pic.
75. Dances with Wolves (1990) - also a best pic.
84. Fargo (1996)

I'm actually looking for The Manchurian Candidate and Maltese Falcon.

No Maltese Falcon DVD at astro and video city. But I was itching to watch it, so I just got the VCD from SM City Dept Store. P99. That'll do till I find the DVD.

Another good reference of 'must have' DVDs (just like the list of Academy Award winning best pictures) is the list of the American Film Institute (AFI) Top 100 American Films of all time, which they published in June 1998 in connection with their celebration of 100 years of moviemaking.

The following list is in accordance with the ranking of the votes that the films got from the members of AFI, thus:

1. Citizen Kane (1941)
3. The Godfather (1972) - also a best pic.
15. Star Wars (1977)
20. One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) - also a best pic.
31. Annie Hall (1977) - also a best pic.
32. The Godfather, Part II (1974) - also a best pic.
34. To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
71. Forrest Gump (1994) - also a best pic.
72. Ben-Hur (1959) - also a best pic.
89. Patton (1970) - also a best pic.
91. My Fair Lady (1964) - also a best pic.
94. Goodfellas (1990)
95. Pulp Fiction (1994)
98. Unforgiven (1992) - also a best pic.

It is easily noticeable from the foregoing list that most of the films included therein are classics or oldies (is this indicative of the probable ages of the voting members of AFI, hehehe), but nonetheless you can't go wrong with these titles if you decide to collect them

So, what do you have in your DVD collection that made to this elite list.

above is my list.... thanks
