I have 9. I've watched more, but don't feel the need to have them.

Have:
1. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
3. Lord of the Rings: Two Towers
4. LOTR: Return of the King
5. LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring
6. Wizard of Oz
7. Superman
8. The Dark Knight
9. The Blind Side

Willy Wonka and Wizard of Oz: I have their super duper deluxe versions so I wouldn't need anything more. I doubt there is anything more out there TO put in a set. I've upgraded each movie at least once until they came out with the big set, so I hope I'm done upgrading.

The rest I wouldn't change. LOTRs I have extended versions and that's good enough for me. The rest mainly have some extras but not a lot but I don't need to upgrade or wish I had bought a different version.

Well, as tastes differ, any serious changes (that should be restricted to the WB portfolio) I leave to those who want to. 50, like any number, is an arbitrary cut-off. BUT I am amazed that all 3 LOTR movies are included but only the first Harry Potter movie. Since 'Harry Potter' has very much a story arc across all 8 titles --and intended so by its creator-- and the first movie is generally not considered the best of the bunch, I'd say either remove it or include the whole series in this selection. Maybe you'll then have 60 instead of 50, but who cares 

BTW, I do not have:
Grand Hotel
Mrs. Miniver
Chariots of Fire
The Color Purple
Driving Miss Daisy
Willy Wonka and and Chocolate Factory

Anyways, with so few titles not owned I'm not particularly interested in the set.
