The Definitive Touch reader is many things. Well dressed and of a discerning nature, he is the kind of man who does not easily accept mediocrity. His clothes are immaculate, his taste in books is irreproachable, and his wine cabinet is full. This kind of refinement and careful consideration extends beyond his higher tastes however, and extends into the movie collection.

A person’s DVD cabinet can say a lot about who they are. Are they an action film buff? Do they have a thing for war flicks? Are they a horror-geek? The Definitive Touch man is better than all of these things because he doesn’t have a favorite genre, his favorite movies are good movies. The Definitive Touch man’s movie collection doesn’t omit any movie because it’s outside their comfort zone. With that in mind, we’ve assembled a list of 160 definitive films that demand your attention.
