Wow, most of my original 10 have already been listed. Thanks guys!

Wait, does that mean I have to come up with a NEW set of 10?

Anywho, here are some that haven't been mentioned yet:
  • U-571: The A/V quality on this DVD just plain rocks! The depth charge scenes are almost always recommended to show of HT gear and both the DD and dts audio tracks are incredible.
  • Swordfish:The A/V quality on this DVD is really impeccable and people often comment on the explosion at the beginning of the movie. The video transfer is top notch and the DD audio is excellent!
  • Starship Troopers: I don't list this because of Denise Richards, even though that's a great reason in and of itself. This DVD truly shows that DVD excellent DVD authoring can result in maximum enjoyment potential by really capturing the theatrical experience in the home. The A/V quality of this DVD is also highly respected and regarded along with Fifth Element.
  • Saving Private Ryan (dts): This DVD has awesome video quality and the dts audio is considered to be one of the best demonstrations of what dts can do that just about everyone agrees on.
  • Red Planet: I think this is a "sleeper" DVD in terms of A/V quality. This has a very clean and simply beautiful video transfer and the DD audio is also excellent even though I think the movie could have had more effects to better "exercise" the audio a bit more. Still, the evacuation sequence really rocks!

I'll post more as I think of them.

EDIT: Ok, I just saw Fifth Element had already been mentioned so I'll change my list above.

Here are my "seconds":
  • Lord of the Rings Extended Edition DVDs (both)
  • Fight Club
  • Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones
  • Matrix: Reloaded
  • Fifth Element (Superbit)

Peace...
