Everyone list DVDs that you think should be on this list. You don't have to name them all now, but you can update the list as time goes on. Anything you recommend will be on the list unless somebody disputes with it. If there is a dispute with one of the movies, we can put our little heads together to see if it stays or goes.

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.

Middle Finger of God Posts: 2,015 Group: Members Member #118 Joined: September 8, 2005	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.

Middle Finger of God Posts: 2,015 Group: Members Member #118 Joined: September 8, 2005	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.

Bear engineer Posts: 2,297 Group: Members Member #52 Joined: December 9, 2004	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!

Return of the Emperor Posts: 253 Group: Members Member #163 Joined: November 6, 2006	I say yes for Super Troopers and no for Eurotrip, Beerfest, and Snakes on a Plane.

butterflies imo Posts: 3,861 Group: Administrator Member #1 Joined: July 19, 2004	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.

Middle Finger of God Posts: 2,015 Group: Members Member #118 Joined: September 8, 2005	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.

Return of the Emperor Posts: 253 Group: Members Member #163 Joined: November 6, 2006	Super Troopers was by far the superior movie. It had a better premise and had jokes.
