My Christmas wish list

robotech_masterI'm putting this up mainly as a reference for the local friends & family with whom I exchange gifts. They never do seem to know what to get me--and what the heck, maybe this'll get 'em reading my journal, too.
The main thing I would enjoy would be DVDs. I'm a DVD-watching fiend. (Note: If there's a choice between widescreen and fullframe, go with widescreen. If there's a choice between regular and special edition, go with special edition.)
Particular titles of interest: Any James Bond movie except For Your Eyes Only, Goldeneye, Moonraker, Never Say Never Again, and Tomorrow Never Dies, which I already have, and The Man With the Golden Gun, which I do not want. (Note: Special Editions only, please.) Any Akira Kurusawa film. Any John Woo or Chow Yun Fat film except God of Gamblers, A Better Tomorrow I & II and the tv-movie version of Once a Thief, which I already have. The Tsui Hark movies A Chinese Ghost Story I or II (not the animated movie, which I already have). Any of the sequels to The Magnificent Seven, which I already have. Any Clint Eastwood western except A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, which I already have. $25 Best Buy gift certificates work well, too.
I also would like the computer game The Sims: Hot Date, which is the one Sims expansion I do not yet currently have. And perhaps a decently-featured Gerber tool to replace the one I lost a couple of months ago.
