- Rescue Me (series)
Man, I could go on...
Ok. I may not admit this anywhere else, but 2 must haves { and I confess that I do have them} are : Halloween { the original} and Children of the Corn. I love them, they are totally cheesy and I make my husband watch them with me every October.
Another one that I recently bought that is a favourite is the Outsiders. { for my son who read the book last year in grade 7}
Next may when my daughter turns 13, I am giving her a copy of Pretty in Pink. { Yes, I am a child of the 80's}
Holy crap, how could I forget Arrested Development? Good call.
Already have Futurama (and Family Guy).
Was never into Mr. Show. I got about three episodes into the first season and gave up. I'm looking forward to their next project though, about the superheroes (or is it wrestlers...)
While I would rather eat dog droppings than watch pretty in pink (again...it's required viewing if you want to date someone...), it reminded me of something else I should get:
The Pink Panther series. Who could possibly get enough of Peter Sellers and KATO!
Also, DJ, as a fellow Zombie Efficiando, if you don't already, Shawn of the Dead is a must own.
Do you like Nip\Tuck and Huff? Those are shows that I would own as well.
Ben, I am a little pleased that you are not into Pretty in Pink, as it is a teenage chick flick, which is why I will give it to my daughter. But........maybe you SHOULD get a copy to put in after you are done your steak, next March 14th!
Ps. in Canada, it is steak and BJ night EVERY Friday night.

Dear Prairie,
Can't type...busy packing...moving to Canada--location to be determined.
Too bad about the Stanley--even though I'm here in the states, I was pulling for the Northern Neighbors. I just hate carolina....
I'd agree with most of the ones on your list Ben. The ones that I don't agree with are the ones I haven't seen. Some of my favorites out of the list are:
Run Lola Run
Shawshank Redemption
Many Monty Python titles(Live at the Hollywood Bowl is awesome)
Amelie
Big Fish
The Last of the Mohicans
Shrek I & II
I see City of Lost Children & Amelie, so I'm thinking you should also get Delicatessan.
Speaking of dark comedies, has anybody mentioned Shallow Grave yet?
Oooh, also check out Pi.
...I'm coming back here and copying everyone's suggestions into my Blockbuster netflix queue!
See, this? This is what I need to arm myself with when going to the video store, to avoid walking out with The Day After Tomorrow or Blade 3.
(It must be noted that I actually didn't watch more than 15 mins of TDAT, my brother and I just turned the volume down and adlibbed over it. Trust me, it was a far better film that way.)
I too forget films instantly, but I know I liked these:
- The City of Lost Children
- Memento
- Requiem for a Dream
- Shawshank Redemption
- The Incredibles
- Amelie
- Citizen Kane
- Apocalypse Now
- anything by Baz Luhrman
- The West Wing (currently working my way through the DVD set... yum)
