It's a box set, but I highly recommend "Band of Brothers"...

Blade Runner - The Final Cut

[seabterry]

I would have to say the X-Men Collection (4 movies) or 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The Maltese Falcon

Bad idea. It's a lot of money to throw after movies you might not watch more than once.

Pricey, but its Hitchcock. Imo well worth it. Especially if you havent seen all the movies in the set.

As a predominant blind buy, I'd suggest waiting for the Hitchcock set to go down in price. I have the DVD version of the set (sans NbNW), and I personally enjoy most of the movies in it, but I don't feel inclined to own all of them on BD, at least not at the current asking price. I'd be more willing to get titles like Rear Window, Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Shadow of a Doubt separately than buy the set, but that's not really an option right now.

I also want this set, but not at that price point. Way too much. It would be cheaper to buy the Bond 50 set right now.

Memento

[The Edge]

I second that!

[JWilliams85]

No Country For Old Men! It won best picture for 2007 and you can get it for $5 at Walmart right now.

[threefiftyrocket]

Hobo With a Shotgun!!!

[The Great Owl]

Army of Shadows

It's an expensive Criterion Blu-ray, but you won't regret it. Nobody who buys this Blu-ray ever regrets it.

Paris, Texas

It's, likewise, an expensive Criterion Blu-ray, but you won't regret it.

[Midnight Rambler]

There Will Be Blood

3:10 to Yuma ($5 at Target, sometimes also at Amazon)

Se7en

L.A. Confidential

The Outlaw Josey Wales (For a classic Eastwood western)

Master and Commander : The Far Side of the World

Goldfinger (If you want a classic Bond flick)

North by Northwest (If you want a Hitchcock classic)

Zodiac.

And I guarantee if it makes your five it will win the vote!
