Good choices. I would like to get the Friday the 13th and the Bergman sets, but I'm waiting/hoping for a sale or that the price goes down.

The Indiana Jones one that included only the first three.
The Alien one.
The Blade Runner one that includes all versions (does it count as a film or a set). Same with Dune.
The Godfather trilogy.
The Special Edition Star Wars, which include the non-remastered original movies.
A few nice Bunuel box sets.
The Mad Max box set.
The Michel Audiard box sets.
The Jean Rouch box sets. The Denis Gheerbrant box set. The Flaherty box set.
The Romero Living Dead box set (only includes the first three, but both versions of Dawn).
The Jason Bourne box set (with only the first three)
and I wish I could say the Leone Box set, but alas, most Leone DVDs have the worst possible cuts of his films, with missing or additional, weirdly dubbed scenes. Barely watchable.
I don't count series or miniseries (Riget, Flying Circus, etc) which are their own thing I guess.
I own lots of box sets of TV shows, but the one I watch the most is

A list of some box sets/anthologies I own that I'd consider extremely valuable, "must have" releases:
[Release Title — Studio/Label Distributor]
• The Henry Fool Trilogy and The Long Island Trilogy — Possible Films (self-published on halhartley.com)
• The Jacques Rivette Collection (8-disc edition, includes Out 1 noli me tangere/Spectre) — Arrow
Or you can get Arrow's regular 6-disc set (without Out 1) along with Carlotta's box release of Out 1 since it's what Arrow used for their release of it.
• Jean-Luc Godard + Jean-Pierre Gorin: Five Films, 1968-1971 — Arrow
• Histoire(s) du cinema — OliveFilms
• The Koker Trilogy — Criterion
• Fritz Lang: The Silent Films (12 Blu-ray Set) — KinoLorber
• Les Blank: Always for Pleasure — Criterion
• Eric Rohmer 100: Comedies and Proverbs — Arrow
• Trilogy of Life — Criterion
• By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volumes One and Two (1954-2003) — Criterion
• John Cassavetes: Five Films — Criterion
• The Complete Jean Vigo — Criterion
• 3 Silent Classics by Josef von Sternberg (1927-1928) and Dietrich & von Sternberg in Hollywood (1930-1935) — Criterion
• Three Films by Jia Zhangke — Arrow
• The Essential Jacques Demy — Criterion
• Ingmar Bergman's Cinema — Criterion
