If I were forced to rip apart the lovely packaging and choose just one disc, I'd probably take ll as well.

Key Largo

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy--probably the third one if I can only have one

And favorite Christmas movie: The George C. Scott "Christmas Carol" which we re-watch every year.

I am thinking Glengarry Glen Ross. I watch this movie every 3 months probably.

What performances . . . Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris.

What an unbelievable cast. I love the tension these guys create.

"A.B.C. A - Always, B - Be, C - Closing. Always Be Closing."

Love that movie!
