I wish I had more time to watch DVDs. Realistically, because of the 200- something movies I have to plow through every year, unless I have to watch a DVD, I usually don't. I like sports too much. So, I've got stacks of the damn things still in the cellophane.

But if it's an old favorite, I'll always find time for it, it seems. And I picked up a few new versions of old favorites over the holidays, one of which - the 50th anniversary edition of Touch of Evil - has made the list of 2008's top 20 DVDs, compiled by DVD Talk.

It's full of old gems recently restored or re-released as well as some of the biggest hits of the year and a smattering of TV-on-DVD. Led by the definitive collection of The Godfather trilogy, here are the 11 films in DVD Talk's top ten:

1 - The Godfather (Coppola Restorations)
2 - Wall-E
3 - Iron Man
4 - The Wire: The Complete Series
5 - Bonnie and Clyde
6 - Tropic Thunder
6 - (tie) The Dark Knight
7 - The Sopranos: The Complete Series
8 - Baraka (Blu-Ray)
9 - Touch of Evil (50th Anniversary Edition)
10- Dr. No/From Russia with Love (Blu-Ray)
