I rented Primer: a high concept sci-fi about want, greed, friendship and trust. In it, two engineers build a backwards running time machine in their garage. What happens next (before?) is pretty original, if a bit confusing - Paradoxes are a bitch.
I recommend it, with the caveat that you'll likely need to watch it a second time or go online to read the competing fan theories about the plot. It's also a talky film with very little action and made on a shoestring budget.
What's next on your fun-stuff-to-buy list? I'm looking for a cool piggy bank for my son.
