This is all I own and have ever heard/seen. I'll look into getting 
some more. I hear Free Jazz is amazing.

It takes a lot of work, I think--two quartets, one in each channel. 
I've listened to it, but it hasn't yet revealed itself to me.   The 
film of the trio isn't a concert film, really--it's a 
follow-the-band-around-Paris kind of thing, along with the band in 
the studio doing a stunning performance of "Sadness" (I think) for 
the soundtrack to some lousy film.  It's astonishing to see the 
director just not getting that he has _Ornette Coleman_ doing the 
music for him.  ("That wasn't right, can you do it again?")

I really can't get enough of the bribe. Quine's playing is exhilirating.

_The Bribe_ is one I need to get.  Quine is great in general, but 
there's something about his playing with Zorn that really does it for 
me.  _Spy vs. Spy_ is another great band--it's the disc that got me 
into Tim Berne's stuff.  (Check out his Bloodcount band if you get a 
chance--the _Unwound_ performances are amazing, particularly when 
drummer Jim Black cuts loose.)
