I have over 250 titles in there right now, but I'm just curious as to what everybody's top 20 priorities are.

Mine:

1. The Hills Have Eyes (1977) (I hate Craven, but I have to see it before I see the remake.)
2. Battle Royale (Finally!)
3. Layer Cake
4. Annie Hall (It's about time I finally see this.)
5. Eraserhead (I don't have any trust in Lynch whatsoever, so I'm not blind-buying, but this movie has always interested the hell out of me.)
6. Fando y Lis (OOP)
7. Friday The 13th (That's right, I've never seen it. I don't trust mainstream-ish horror movies enough to blind-buy them.)
8. Oldboy
9. City of God
10. Ran
11. Breakfast At Tiffany's
12. The Red Shoes
13. Good Night, and Good Luck
14. Bad Taste (I've been meaning to see since the first time I saw (and loved) Dead-Alive, but I didn't want the bare-bones edition, and I was a little uneasy about paying $30+ for the OOP Limited Edition. Now I can finally see it!)
15. King Kong (1976) (Only version I haven't seen yet. I don't expect to like it, but hey.)
16. Hellraiser (Another mainstream-ish horror movie I haven't trusted enough to buy.)
17. The Conversation
18. Jacob's Ladder
19. Wild Strawberries
20. The Brood

City of God is a hell of a movie

don't expect much from Bad Taste. I LOVE dead alive, but hate that movie.

Mine changes all the time. I basically just add movies I want to see as I think of them, and then adjust it dependent upon my mood when I'm returning something.

Right now:

Radiohead- Meeting People Is Easy (always wanted to see this, I caught part of it on tv several years ago)
City of the Living Dead (never seen it)
David Cross - Let America Laugh
Phenomena
The Hills Have Eyes (refresher before the remake, I haven't seen it since I was a kid)
Undeclared (this is taking up 4 slots, damn tv shows)
Killer Klowns From Outer Space (love this movie, and it's been a while)

I had that same problem. I believe you just have to use the audio button, but I could be remembering incorrectly.
