Help me spend $25 at Amazon
I have a $25 gift code for Amazon that is burning a hole in my inbox. The early favorites are the Life Aquatic 2 Disc (which I just can't seem to get very excited about) and Rules of the Game Criterion (though I'd like to keep it closer to $25).
I would like to keep my order as close to $25 as possible to get free shipping and minimize out of pocket expenses. Also, I can't bring myself to spend this on anything I could get significantly cheaper elsewhere (including Columbia House).
OK DVDTalk, let me have it!

As I've said MANY times before, I think Rules of the Game is the greatest movie ever made. Since the Criterion DVD is filled with more extras and supplements than I could have ever hoped, I'd have to say that it's the greatest DVD ever released of an individual film. If I could only have one DVD to watch for the rest of my life, this would be it, no question.

Thanks for all the ideas, keep them coming...

OK, maybe I'll give it a rental, but it still violates my "Also, I can't bring myself to spend this on anything I could get significantly cheaper elsewhere" rule.

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
Arrested Development season 1, Scrubs season 1, 24 discs, Family Guy season 1-3, or something completely different than my other recommendations Requiem for a Dream. Most of these will put you over $25 but all well worth it.

I do own Shaun of the Dead! That has to count for something, right?

DVD Talk Special Edition
Everyone knows that the best film ever made is The Bicycle Thief. You can pick that up for 19.99. The best American film since The Godfather (and may be the best American film, period) is probably Hoop Dreams, which you can pick up for 20.96. Add shipping to either, and ba-boom, $25 spent.
Have fun with the free cash.
