Waiting for Guffman. If you like that one, look into the other Christopher Guest mockumentaries, from Spinal Tap to A Mighty Wind.

Firefly, if Blockbuster carries it and you haven't seen it yet. Start with the first disc (three episodes, watch all of 'em) to get a sense of whether you'd like it.

...and a million other recommendations, from Memento to Barenaked in America. Let me know if you like these and I'll supply more.

City of God, American History X, Schindler's List, hmmm... many more.

Waiting for Guffman, Firefly, and City of God are all added to my BB queue. Thanks guys!

i don't know if it's your type, but my personal favorite is Magnolia.

Seen it already. Really enjoyed it :)

If you like Hero, then you'll definitely like House of Flying Daggers. Crash, which came out on DVD recently, has an excellent plot, where many different lives are connected to one other (suspence, and it spells out a powerful message). Sean Penn movies are an excellent choice; if you haven't seen them already, try: 21 Grams, Mystic River, and The Interpretor.
A bunch of other random ones:
- Million Dollar Baby
- Life of David Gale
- Runaway Jury
- Identity

All have great plots, but I'm sure you've seen most/all of them.

"DOGMA"..."Big Lebowski"..."Italian Job" (the original)..."Night of the Living Dead"..."Z"..."The Year of Living Dangerously"...Led Zepplin's "Song Remains the Same"..."The Tall Blonde Man with One Brown Shoe" (original)..."The Taming of the Shrew" (Burton and Taylor)..."Bad Day at Black Rock"(Spencer Tracy)..."Heavy Metal" (anime)..."My Giant... i got more, want'em?

Hm. The only movie I can think of right now is Millions, which is either out now or coming out very soon. I didn't get a chance to see it, but I wanted to.

Rushmore (Wes Anderson) and The King of Comedy (Robert De Niro) are a couple of pretty unique comedies that I loved, although I'm guessing that if you've seen Life Aquatic and enjoyed it, you are almost definitely a Wes Anderson fan and have seen Rushmore, as well as the excellent Royal Tenenbaums.

The one movie of Anderson's that not as many folks have seen that I own and greatly enjoy is Bottle Rocket, his first.

"The Power of One" is my favorite movie of all time.

I can only recommend The Godfather Trilogy. It’s based on books by Mario Puzo and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Cast include: Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Robert De Niro and Andy Garcia. To name a few :)

Another movie that I quite like is Scarface (Director’s Cut)? (Al Pacino, Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer)

However unbeaten for quite a while now, here’s my favourite movie of the year: Oldboy, which was directed by Directed by Chan-wook Park (It’s a Korean Movie, which will truly blow your mind!)

-Matt

Thanks guys!

@Adam: Yeah I've seen all of the wes anderson flicks. love em! I couldn't find King of Comedy on BB though.

@Matt: I'm a huge Al Pacino fan. Seen most of his stuff. If you haven't I'd recommend Dog Day Afternoon.

I enjoyed watching Shaun of the Dead last night. Some great "The Office" type British humor and gore make it quite entertaining.

I've added these to my online queue:
The Interpreter
Life of David Gale
Song Remains the Same
The Italian Job (Original)
Millions
Oldboy

the Crime of Padre Amarro
Life As A House
LOVE ACTUALLY !!!!!!!

ever seen crash? that was a great movie. I heard the original italian job sucked major balls, but you can tell me how it is. The sea inside was good too, but its in spanish. maria full of grace. great movie too.

RE: "Italian Job" (original)...maybe some of us have seen "Oceans 11" old and "Oceans 11" new. Sure the new one is all hi-tech, incorporating CGI and the latest effects, but the old one still holds its own. Well, IMHO the Old "IJ" was an original idea and well-executed given the stuff they had to work with. And it was an original idea...try to find that from Tinseltown these days.

if you don't like waiting for guffman, you should still watch spinal tap. if you like both, then watch best in show next. and cinema paradiso is awesome (and in italian). i agree with michael on maria full of grace. and the motorcycle diaries. and the constant gardener (not on video yet). and regarding city of god. yes.

Much appreciated guys :)
