Besides the obvious, I MUST have--
-Star Wars Trilogy
-Alien Quadrilogy (actually, more like the first two, I guess I could live without 3 and Res.)
-John Carpenter's The Thing
-The Fifth Element
-Indiana Jones Trilogy
-Harry Potter flix (this counts in Books I Must Have To Survive, also)
I could add more, but these would be the mainstays...
Should we start a "Books I Can't Live Without" thread? Yes, and I'll start it now.

Moose,
Raiders of the Lost Ark (I can live without the other 2) ...I feel the same way. The 1st could be the best movie ever. The 2nd, didnt even enjoy it. 3rd was good entertainment but was only OK.
also Band of Brothers. I borrowed this from a friend. Boy was it good. My neighbor called while I was watching 'Bastogne' and said "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE!" ..guess I had the stereo a tad loud. 
"..it is my very favorite gun."

In no particular order...
Firefly
Buffy - Seasons 1-4, 6 (in particular season 3, I'm acually watching 'The Wish' as I write this, to be followed by 'Amends', since it's X-mas and all.) Hopefully seasons 5 and 7 will appear under the tree.
Angel - Seasons 1 and 2 for now.
Love Actually
The Princess Bride
Gilmore Girls - Season 1
Star Wars Original Trilogy - although technically it's VHS
Stargate SG-1 - particularly season 4
Alias - Season 1
There's more movies I could list but they're all on VHS and my mind is drawing a blank at the moment anyway.
If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. -"Angel"

The obvious Firefly
. . . . . hmmm
After Firefly the list is less dire, but I'd have to list:
Holes
X-Men 1 & 2
Notting Hill (even if it is a re-hashed 4 Weddings)
I'm sure there must be more but the above are the one's I'll throw in the DVD player just for the heck of it.
I would list the Star Wars trilogy... really wanted to want to list it, but I would rather have the original theater version rather than the spiced and Jar-Jar'd up DVD version. When I saw the end of the Jedi and there was Haden Christenson at the end I just about puked...

Hee Hee "Support Your Local Sheriff" is GREAT! I especially love the red paint on the jail floor, and the son trying to explain that the father's never going to bust the jail bars because he helped put them in, and the cannon at the end, and the...
...and the scene in the bar, and stopping the big gunfight to walk across the street, and "They didn't use words like that in the 3rd grade." You'd be surprised how often the line, "Well this is just plain dumb and stupid" comes in handy. I've never been able to take Bruce Dern seriously as a villain in any other movie because I always see him as Joe.
Packer fans welcome.
All others tolerated.
