Cool Movie buffs - recommend essential (budget) DVD's

Plenty of Scoobynetters are a bit movie mad - recommend the Essential DVD's that should be in everyone's collection, that can be bought on the cheap (say under a tenner)

My nomination - Leon - £6.97 on Amazon.

another fiver special...




Very few people actually understand this film. It isn't flashbacks, none of it is real. The entire film takes places over the course of a few minutes. During Jacob Singer's death he lives out the rest of his life.
^ this is bollocks, I got it straight away, still a good watch.
