Mountain Men
Deliverance
Hardrocks Home Alone
Hardrocks Special Moments

:frog:

Here are a few more good ones:

Heartbreak Ridge
The Decent---Not an award winner but a really fun watch...not good for the claustrophobic
Kill Bill 1 and 2
The Way of the Gun---Again not an award winner but the absolute best most accurate gun play ever in a movie. Period.
Wedding Crashers
Forgetting Sarah Marshall--You have to watch this one at least twice to catch it all and really laugh!

The Shawshank Redemption (i've probably watched it near 3 dozen times and i don't even own the movie)

Also notable mention to "Into the Wild" which was probably the last movie I saw that "simply good" It made me want to sell everything I own, pack up and leave

The Art of Lying - kinda dumb biut makes you wonder "what WOULD i do?!"

Yeah have the Firefly series on DVD in both editions... rabid fan of that show. In addition to the storyline, I just loved the tempo of the dialog and some of the turn of phrases. A really, really impressive ensemble cast.

Any other Joss Whedon fans should check out Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog with Nathan Fillion (Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly/Serenity) and Neil Patrick Harris. It's hilarious.

ATB,
Sam

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is good, but Snatch is better.
