50 films? Jesus, I found it hard to get 10. I don't want to generalize, but most films are rubbish.

They are my main rivals in the shape of their Irish chain Xtra-Vision. DVD is only a small part of my shops and it is only the older 3 for €30 stuff I sell. Main business is video games.

Not for me, I rarely don't finish watching a film no matter how bad but this was an exception. I only put it on to see why it was selling so well. Approximately 99.99% of purchasers are under 25 and wear tracksuits all day long. Afro

.

Most requested special order DVD's -

Child's play 1 - N/A on region 1 for some unknown reason when the inferior 2, 3 & Bride of Chucky are.
The Snapper - An Irish film N/A in Ireland, Irish!
The Van - ditto
A.W.O.L - by women exclusively
The History of the world part 1
Abi Titmuss / Paris Hilton
Above the Rim - mostly by Friday purchasers

Interesting stuff so far. Heres mine, though I'm afraid its betraying my former film student ways a tad.....

My top 15 (couldn't manage top 10):

Rear Window
Sonatine
Andrey Rublev (Russian movie, very long but like nothing else)
Evil Dead 2 ("Groovy")
Destry Rides Again
The Thin Red Line (1998 version)
The Thing (John Carpenter version)
Paris, Texas (cinematography is amazing)
Oldboy (a new one, and a good one)
My Girl Friday
The Hidden Fortress
Aliens
The Godfather
Rio Bravo (most imitated western ever?)
Annie Hall (for everything)

Ands thats leaving out way too many films I really love.....
