What DVDs should I ask for for Xmas?
I'm an 18-year old...I'm really into indie film, but any good movies will do...and for reference, here's much of my movie collection:

Donnie Darko, Snatch, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Requiem for a Dream, Pleasantville, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Igby Goes Down, The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Road to Perdition, The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, Punch Drunk Love, Mulholland Drive, The Boondock Saints, A Beautiful Mind, American History X...I think that's all. I'm asking for Adaptation and Identity this year.

Any ideas from anyone? And don't suggest the Family Guy seasons, I have them also. Thanks, DUers!
