If you were building an LDS video library of quality entertainment which titles would you put in your collection? And I'm not talking about LDS only titles.

A must have is "Baptists at the Bar B Q". We also enjoy the "The Best Two Years".
Every 4th of July we watch "Independence Day". (I enjoy Sci Fi)
Every 2nd of February we watch "Ground Hog Day". (What an awesome fantasy)... the piano teacher kilz me.

I really enjoy 1776. It may be about the founding of our nation, but since I feel that's closely related to the gospel anyway, it's a good film, if not entirely historically accurate.

I misread that and thought you were saying LDS only titles... and here I was about to chastise all y'alls for throwing in non-LDS film titles. My bad!
Well, here are some oldies but goodies you can add to the mix... Windwalker, Against a Crooked Sky, Follow Me Boys, The Apple Dumpling Gang, Fiddler on The Roof, The Sound of Music, Lawrence of Arabia, The Muppet Movie, and many others that I can not think of right now...
Some newer but still relatively goodies include... Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The Santa Clause, The Santa Clause II, A Christmas Carol (w/ Patrick Stewart), and some others that I can't think of right now...

It seems to me the only thing you've learned is that Caesar is a "salad dressing dude."
Lawrence of Arabia (I've watched this movie about 800 times.) The Ten Commandments Ben Hur Anne of Green Gables/ Anne of Avonlea Singles Ward Best Two Years Pride and Prejudice (A&E Version) Jane Eyre (A&E Version) Gettysburg Disney's Original Davey Crocket Series Disney's Johnny Tremain Disney's Swamp Fox Disney's Treasure Island Disney's Pollyanna, Original Parent Trap, Scarecrow, and a few other of walt's creations. Napoleon Dynomite (I hate this movie but have to watch it whenever it is on the T.V.) Tron (OK, it's sick but I love that movie) Chronicles of Narnia National Treasure Flying Tigers, The Commancheros, McClintock, and a bunch of other John Wayne classics. For the older kids I would have The Lord of the Rings series. The Robe Demetrius and the Gladiators Vertigo The Birds Oh Brother Where art Thou Jurassic Park Original Star War Trilogy The Karate Kid Prarie Dog Be Gone My Fair Lady Original Version of Sabrina
Here are a few I'll throw in... Howl's Moving Castle Spirited Away Holes Secondhand Lions The Secret of Nimh The Little Princess Two Brothers The Happiest Millionaire North Avenue Irregulars Remember the Titans National Treasure Akeelah and the Bee Ice Age 1 and 2 Pokemon Lucario The Pokemon Movie Annie The Parent Trap Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Wererabbit Spiderman Brother Bear Grave of the Fireflies Kiki's Delivery Service My Neighbor Totoro The Cat Returns Over the Hedge The Prizewinner from Defiance Ohio Sky High Pirates of the Carribean Hoot Cinderella III
TV Series: SpongeBob Squarepants Babylon 5 Murder She Wrote (most episodes) The Simpsons (most episodes.) Mr Monk (most episodes) The Muppet Show (most episodes) Firefly/Serenity (most episodes) Malcolm in the Middle (most episodes, season 1 is all that's available)
I do think it's interesting how it's easier to find movies that are pretty tame, where the above Teevee series often have an episode or two that are just plain baaaaad and not within LDS standards.

Having had the end of Harry Potter revealed to you by one who knows that the final horcrux is Harry's scar, why would you want to collect that series!?

It has the world's funniest Christmas party, and a little guy asking if God has a plan for him.
Mostly it's a tearjerker, and I would never have ventured to see it, if it hadn't been strongly recommended. Now it's one of my favorites, and I'm not a tearjerker fan.
How could I forget Veggietales!!
