DVD Mother-load

Good news for those who read my film/TV reviews. All one of you. My family was recently gifted a whole DVD collection.
An old woman we have no connection too died. I don't know how she died, or even what her name was. All I know is she was basically house bound in her later years, spending her time watching DVDs. She amassed a large collection that no one else wanted, so we ended up with it.
For those who care, the connection goes like this. In reverse order.
Me < my dad < dad's friend < friend's coworker < coworker's aunt.
It was coworker's aunt that passed.
The collection was a large mix of stuff. From Die Hard, to Downton Abbey. It's too much for even my hoarder parents to keep, so we took what was interesting and passed the rest onto neighbours, who will likely do the same.
I won't go into everything, but I these are the highlights-
A Man of All Seasons
Casablanca
Clash of the Titans and Sinbad 1-3
Die Hard 2-5 (I own Die Hard 1 already)
Indiana Jones 1-4
MacGyver (the original series and TV movies)
National Treasure 1 and 2
Ten Commandments
Warehouse 13 1-5 (Yes, I've been told about the stockings episode. I've not seen that episode yet.)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Some films I didn't pick up due to limited space include-
Executive Decision
The Graduate
Night at the Museum 1-5
The Taking of Pellem 123
If you think I should grab those, let me know asap and I might be able to grab them before the collection is passed on to people I don't know.
Oh, and this collection came the same day (or the day after) I ordered Invasion USA and a Stallone collection (mainly for Cobra). So I see lots of film reviews next year.
Related, I'm considering doing video reviews, basically read aloud versions of the text reviews, if anyone is interested.

Definitely "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a keep. Casablanca, I hear is a classic to watch even though I never saw it. Indiana Jones is a keep. National Treasure 1 and 2 is my favorites! Love the treasure hunting in regards to old legends and following old clues.

OP
Yep. Kept all those. It's the second list I'm curious about keeping.

Hmm... I would say Night at the Museum movies but... I don't know. I feel they are only worth watching once.
