Default So I have $25 to Amazon...

I've got a $25 Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Based on my collection, what do you guys suggest? I can't decide!

Also, I don't mind throwing in like an extra $10 on top of the $25.

Thanks for your help!

Eyes Wide Shut - $10.49

Recommended because I see several moody titles in your library. I confess that I hated this film initially, but over the years it has become one of my favorites. There are a lot of nuances and subtleties, and I find myself seeing new ones each time I watch it.

From Russia with Love - $19.99

Recommended because I see you enjoy some 007 and this is, for my money, the baddest Bond movie of 'em all. Connery was never smoother, Daniela Bianchi was hot as Tatiana, John Barry's score was excellent, and Pedro Armendariz was the most charismatic sidekick Bond has ever had.

Have not seen any of these in your collection. Maybe you need to consider them:

- The Green Mile
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Signs
- The Sixth Sense
- Unbreakable
- The Shining

I would get these.

Cujo
Frailty
Requiem for a Dream
American Psycho
Reservoir Dogs
Rambo First Blood

All are $7.99 each on Amazon pick the 3 you think you would like best. Usual Suspects would be another one which is $9.99.

You will get the most bang for your buck on these movies at their price point.

I see a lot of Tarantino's stuff in there but no Basterds! You need to pick up Inglorious Basterds man!

First, I would like to say thank you to all of you. This was quite a hard decision to make.

Second, I would like to share my decisions with you all. I put a little money in and ordered the following:

Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Skynet Edition)
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

(This wraps up my Terminator collection)
and
Inglorious Bastards
(Not sure why it took me so long to pick this one up)

Again, thanks to all of you! This would be a cool thread topic. "What $25 movie pakage can you put together at the time on Amazon"
Kind of a neat way to track new/used blu prices.

Perhaps as a film, but as a Blu-ray? It's really not my best recommendation to give someone that wants to be Wowed by PQ, as the disc looks pretty horrid. Intentionally by the director and the budget, but bad looking Blu-ray overall. Kingdom of Heaven is the best looking disc from that recommendation it looks badass.
