I tend to buy movies that:
a) have an artistic or some sort of coolness factor that I want to share with the rest of the entire effin' world. Films I think everyone should watch, because I feel a friend otherwise might not make the effort to rent or NetFlix the movie on his or her own accord. Examples in my collection include Lost in Translation (as discussed in an earlier thread), American History X, Full Metal Jacket, um - that's actually all I can think of right now after an exhausting liver-punishing weekend in Atlanta.
b) make great group entertainment. I only watch a handful of my movies on any sort of regularity (read: I watch American Beauty, oh, once a month or so); the only other time I get to blow dust off the library is when friends are over and are in the mood to laugh hysterically at Caddyshack, Big Lebowski, Zoolander, Old School and Van Wilder, among others.
