Just curious what some of your favorite films are, and what you recommend renting.

I am partial to oddball comedy, like most Jom Carrey movies, and movies by the Cohen Bros. like "The Big Lebowski".

So chime in! Lets hear about your favorite cinema!

Hey Hey People


Well my list would be:
Snakes on A place ( A true classic film that delivers)
Aliens
The Ring( jap version)
28 Days Later
Ichi The Killer
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill

Newbie here, I am a big movie buff. I have seen too many good movies to choose a favourite one. I love anything with Adam Sandler in it, the man is hilarious. Anyway, here are some movies I've seen recently:
The Pacifier (Vin Diesel in a towel :D)
House of Wax
Wedding Crashers (hilarious)
Hide and Seek (Dakota Fanning..creepy little girl)
Boogeyman

Well I've seen a lot more, but there wouldn't be enough room in the forum to list all of them. haha.

O.K. Danny Kay is great, & I loved Slap-shot, but the real deal is "Blues Brothers Movie" & "Jaws".

How about:

Caddy Shack
Vacation, Christmas Vacation
