Leader.His Driver & Driver's Wife [VHS]
1.  Leader.His Driver & Driver's Wife [VHS] VHS Nick Broomfield
The list author says:

4.  Psycho - 50th Anniversary Special Edition Steelbook [Blu-ray] [1960][Region Free] DVD ~ Alfred Hitchcock

Breathless [DVD] (1960)
6.  Breathless [DVD] (1960) DVD ~ Jean-Paul Belmondo
The list author says:
  "Fresh, vibrant and energetic. Puts all the imitations and so called Hollywood 'independent' films to shame. Godard is on a whole other plateau of filmmaking that no one else can ever reach."

7.  Apocalypse Now (3-disc Special Edition including Hearts of Darkness) [Blu-ray] [1979] DVD ~ Martin Sheen

Dressed To Kill [DVD]
8.  Dressed To Kill [DVD] DVD ~ Michael Caine
The list author says:
  "This is not a lame version of Psycho. It is DePalma at his best - horrific, tense, and riveting. Not even Hitchcock could craft a better murder sequence. A true cult gem."

9.  Fitzcarraldo [25th Anniversary Edition] [DVD] DVD ~ Fitzcarraldo
The list author says:
  "I often see this film as a metaphor for the way Herzog makes films - after all he really did lug a boat over a mountain! Watch this then devour every other Herzog movie."

Assault on Precinct 13 [DVD]
10.  Assault on Precinct 13 [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "Never have I felt more tense and, yes, scared when watching a movie. From the pulsating soundtrack to the ruthless siege of the police station, Carpenter is the master of the low-budget film."

Blow Up [DVD] [1966]

17.  Indiana Jones - Raiders Of The Lost Ark - Special Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Raiders of the Lost Ark

The list author says:
  "The greatest film of the last 10 years (since Kubrick), it is a film of epic proportions (narrative, performance, imagery, score). Hollywood shows it still can deliver cinematic art."

23.  Solaris [DVD] [1972] DVD ~ Natalya Bondarchuk
The list author says:
  "Tarkovsky's work is deep and complex but rewarding. You rewatch his films and are still fixated. The images are fantastical and it really does rival 2001: A Space Odyssey as the best sci-fi."
