Which of these should I go for first?

True Grit
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Rio Lobo
El Dorado
Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Hang 'Em High
Solaris (Soderbergh)
Land of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead
American History X
The Crow
Babel
Carrie
A Bronx Tale
Leon
Mean Streets
Casino
Michael Clayton
Hero
Volver
Hard Boiled
Infernal Affairs
The Streetfighter
King Boxer
Heat
When Harry Met Sally
Dr. Strangelove
Anchorman
The Untouchables

Yep, I've got a lot of unwatched DVD's.

You should watch the Man With No Name Trilogy first, in order (Fistful, Dollars More, TGTBATU)
Then watch When Harry Met Sally to lighten things up

Dr Strangelove

Not in any order.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

If I go out to the local theaters in the next day or two, should I see Hanna or Source Code?

My list stays the same for Fly.

If I go out to the local theaters in the next day or two, should I see Hanna or Source Code?

I'd put Hanna before Source Code.

I'd love to hear your take on Jane Eyre.

Jane Eyre or Win Win?
I haven't seen Win Win (hope to this week), but I think you might enjoy Jane Eyre.  I did - it's beautifully shot and the performances are really good. 

(Although, I have to say, it's one of those films that I like less and less upon reflection, mostly because I can't help contrasting it to the book - in part wishing that some director some day would have the balls to make Rochester truly ugly and misanthropic and Jane truly plain - and give us a romance that is as close as can be to the inside-out nature and development of character and story that's in the book. The film's romance feels very shallow - and possibly over-wrought and sentimental - in comparison.  Sorry to be a wet blanket.  I do recommend seeing the film.)

I'd recommend Win Win, but then I couldn't stand Jane Eyre. Still, I think one way or another, Win Win is a more surefire choice.
