The newly remastered Last of the Mohicans. I can't seem to find it discounted though.
You'll probably end up paying $24-28.

Personally, I won't generally watch a drama more than once. Sci-Fi, maybe just a few times. But comedy and music videos is another story:
- The Wall
- Caddyshack
- Animal House
- Airplane
- Holy Grail
- Delicate Sound Of Thunder (is that available yet?)
- Stop Making Sense
- Fantasia
- Space Balls...

my small collection has now grown to 27 DVDs..Konichiwa-
Most of the movies in the Kubrick set suffer from very poor transfers. Most noticeably bad is The Shining (an awesome movie though). It looks scarcely better than the VHS version. The Shining offers a supplemental documentary and there's an interview with Arthur C. Clarke on the 2001 disc but those are the only extra features in the entire set (aside from trailers). 2001 was remixed with a 5.1 soundtrack. The rest are in mono.
Aspect ratios are a whole other story. 2001 is the only one shot and transferred in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, it isn't anamorphic (none of the discs in the set is anamorphic) and has a dated transfer (although I actually think this is the best-looking of the set). Most of the other Kubrick films are presented full-frame (the way Kubrick shot them. He matted them for theatrical release). At least it's not P&S, but it also doesn't give us a chance to have them anamorphically enhanced.
Finally, the DVDs all come in snapper cases with no collectible booklets or anything. It is widely known that Kubrick himself oversaw and approved the set, but regardless, these movies all need new transfers with real supplements. Fortunately, I think there has been enough outcry (and DVD has really taken off since this set was released a year and a half ago) that in time all of the movies will be re-released. In fact, Dr. Strangelove has received a new transfer (although not anamorphic, unfortunately, because Kubrick varies the aspect ratio a few times throughout the film). It's a new digital transfer though and has some extra features. Release date is 2/27. In fact, I think that Warner has begun widescreen, anamorphic, digital transfers for all of the movies in the set. Those are preliminarily slated for release in the spring sometime. Looks like my Kubrick collection will be hitting e-bay once the new titles are announced.
If you're a die-hard Kubrick fan you could possibly find the set fairly cheap from e-bay or half.com. While I didn't necessarily like the transfers, I liked just having the movies on DVD. A Clockwork Orange is probably my favorite.
In any case, you can read a pretty good review of the set here:
http://www.dvdfile.com/software/review/dvd-video/kubrickcollection.htm
Well I've though of some others you might want to check out. If you're an Oliver Stone fan you might want to pick up either the 6 & 10 disc box sets just issued a couple of weeks ago. All of the movies will be available separately too. I'm going to pick and choose the Stone flicks that I liked--JFK, Any Given Sunday, the Doors, Wall Street, etc.
Also, there are a couple of awesome Hitchcock sets coming out. I don't know if you're a fan, but I can't get enough of his movies. I already have Vertigo, The Birds, and North By Northwest (already suggested to you). Vertigo will always be my favorite of his films, and it's a beautiful transfer too.
Finally I'll toss in a recommendation for the Kevin Smith movies. Dogma has a special edition coming out (it was actually supposed to be out this Tuesday but was delayed). Chasing Amy is another good Criterion (not the best transfer though) and Mallrats has some teriffic special features (multi-angle commentary!!!!). Dogma is getting the same treatment as Mallrats and will be a two-disc set when it finally does come out. Clerks is Clerks--nuff said.
OK, well that's enough for now. Hope that helps.

Great info on the Kubrick set, thanks! I'm a pretty big Kubrick fan, so I think it's worth the wait for me. My favorite was FMJ and the only edition of it that I can find right now looks pretty bare, no special features or anything. I guess I'll wait on the Kubrick stuff, I'd rather get really good editions than spend my money and go through the hassle of selling/buying the new ones.
Ok you guys have given me a ton of suggestions, and I have a big ass list now. Way more than $70 or $100 bucks:
Fight Club
Saving Private Ryan
American Beauty
Se7en
Magnolia
Office Space
Desperado/El Mariachi
12 Monkeys
Fargo
FMJ
Heat
Eraser
Goodfellas
People vs. Larry Flynt
Shawshank
Me, Myself and Irene
Dogma
Ronin
So while I'm at it, any others?

Ah buying DVDs one of the most enjoyable pleasures ... I don't have specific titles to recommend but here's some links you should definitely check out in your quest to blow $75 at Amazon.com
Must Have DVDs (DVDTalk thread)
Another Must Have DVDs
One of THE BEST DVD coupons web sites out there is DVDPriceSearch.com although I rarely ever check it because I usually find out about deals before they do. This page is definitely bookmark worthy.
Last but not least remember that you're going to get THE MOST bang for your buck with DVD Pre-Orders saving up to 25% off.
How about pre-ordering Traffic and/or Charlie's Angels?

Good call on Pulp Fiction SirFshAlot. That movie is in dire need of the Criterion treatment though. The American release is mucho-lame. The transfer is okay, but it isn't anamorphic. What's worse is that there's practically nothing supplemental. I think there are three deleted scenes or something, and they all suck.
That movie has so much potential for an awesome DVD release. Just the thought of a Tarantino commentary gets me all worked up. I'm sure it will be done eventually, but it's not in the works yet... so you might as well pick up the current edition. Actually you should try to find the Alliance (Canadian) edition of the film. It's still Region 1 but it's got better packaging and better features (still no anamorphic or commentary though).
