Hot Fuzz is coming out on the 31st of July, and that movie was awesome. Better than Shaun of the Dead in my opinion.
300's also coming out soon, and of course that's worth seeing again.
Snakes on a Plane? Say what you want, but that movie is destined to be a cult classic if it isn't already.

Oh, and the constant classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

All I can really think of at the moment, my family's not real big into buying dvds, we typically rent if anything.

The Kentucky Fried Movie. It's from the 80's so good luck getting a non bootlegged dvd.

Good recommendations.
The ones that I added from me that are new are Talladega Nights, Shawshank, Big Lebowski, and Arrested Development.

One of them that I did not put on was Snakes on a Plane. It was ok, but it seems to me as if it was trying to become a cult classic, instead of earning the right. So as of now, its a tie. 1 yay and 1 nay for Snakes on a Plane.

Nice.
I've been wanting to buy Leon the Professional for a long time now. Last place I've seen it at was Barnes and Nobel. But they always jack up the prices of their DVDs.

Some more from me. Samurai X, Fear and Loathing, and for box sets Scrubs.

Some recommendations that I don't agree with are SOAP, Beerfest, Super Troopers, Eurotrip. Debate.

I'd say no to Beerfest, was funny, but not good enough to buy, in my opinion. Same with Eurotrip.

I haven't seen Super Troopers, so no opinion.

As for SOAP, remember that the movie was meant to be PG-13, but the community surrounding it kept sending suggestions. A lot of things in the movie were suggested by fans. It's a fun movie to watch with friends, it probably isn't nearly the same when watching alone.

There are a lot of good movies mentioned that I forgot in my first post. V For Vendetta is amazing, Boondock Saints, etc....

And... John...? Is... that... Space Jam?

EDIT: Venture Brothers Seasons 1 and 2 box sets!

Super troopers and beerfest were done by the same people and even used some of the same actors. I don't understand how anyone can like one and not the other.

Ok two for SOAP (Enforcer, Steele) and two against (me, Katastrophe). So it still hasn't made the list.
Super Troopers got its votes to get on.

Some movies that were recommended that are still in the theaters didn't get on.

Added Aqua Teen Hunger Force to box sets.

Super Troopers was by far the superior movie. It had a better premise and had jokes.

Space Balls?

I saw Blazing Saddles mentioned, so I thought I'd toss out some more Mel Brooks.
