![]() | The Mummy (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.19 A fun-to-watch film that's equal parts action, comedy, and impressive special-effects rolled into one. Also, a touch of romance doesn't hurt either.
|
![]() | Seven Samurai (Criterion Collection Spine #2)
Buy used from: $5.98 A true materpiece, I can watch this movie over and over again and never get tired of it. This movie manages to stay fresh in spite of being made decades ago. The cinematography, acting, and storyline are superb, and this is easily Kurosawa's best effort and Toshiro Mifune's finest performance.
|
![]() | Sin City - Unrated (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $28.99 / Used from: $6.28 Gruesome, violent, surreal, and brilliant, Rodriguez and Miller team up to create the best comic-to-film adaptation ever. This one must be seen to be believed.
|
![]() | Dumb and Dumber
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.68 I find this movie as funny today as the day I first saw it in the theater. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels have great chemistry and deliver some of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie (toilet scene, anyone?). Too bad the sequel sucked.
|
![]() | Walk Don't Run
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $9.75 This is my favorite Cary Grant movie, and unfortunately, it was his last. Light-hearted and funny, this is what all romantic comedies should aspire to be.
|
![]() | I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.49 A classic movie with fantastic in-your-face humor, this is one I almost always endeavor to watch on rainy days. Watch for a young Chris Rock in one memorable scene.
|
![]() | The Count of Monte Cristo
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $4.45 Not as good as the book, but a great film nonetheless; this is a great story about betrayal and revenge. One of my favorites.
|
![]() | The 13th Warrior
Buy used from: $1.97 Most people I know who have seen this movie hate it (and for pretty good reason), but I love this movie. An adaptation of Michael Crichton's "Eaters of the Dead," the action and film score are good, even if the story isn't.
|
![]() | Shrek 2 (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $0.65 Better than the first, and chock-full of parodies and light-hearted humor, this is a great comedy to watch on a rainy day. Puss n' Boots made this movie, bar none.
|
![]() | The Shawshank Redemption (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $2.00 Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins both deliver award-winning performances. Arguably my favorite movie, watch it and see why.
|
![]() | Kingdom of Heaven (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $0.88 I'm a HUGE history buff and was eagerly anticipating this movie before it came out. In spite of the glaring historical inaccuracies, I really liked this movie. Think 'Gladiator' in the middle ages.
|
![]() | James Bond Ultimate Edition Boxed Sets Bundle
Buy used from: $122.49 I grew up watching Bond movies and am happy my folks made me into a 'Bondsie'. The Connery and Moore years are both good (I think Connery made the best Bond, partly by virtue of being the first) while Lazenby (underrated) and Dalton both had decent outings as Bond. Brosnan brought Bond into the new Millenium, and did a great job of it. Daniel Craig? Who's that?
|
![]() | Chappelle's Show - Season 1
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $3.25 Extremely offensive humor, but damn funny nonetheless, it's a shame Chappelle didn't do more of 'Chappelle's Show.'
|
![]() | Chappelle's Show - Season 2
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $4.79 More of Chappelle.
|
![]() | M*A*S*H (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.76 One my favorite movies, this film combines subtle, tongue-in-cheek humor overplaying the horrors of the Korean War. Absolutely brilliant movie with an all-star cast.
|
![]() | Mystery Men [HD DVD]
Buy used from: $2.91 While quickly fading into obscurity, this movie has something of a cult following, and with its quirky humor, it's easy to see why. Blatantly mocking the image of the classic superhero, the Shoveler, the Bowler, the Spleen, Invisible Boy, the Sphinx, the Blue Raja, and Mr. Furious team up to combat evil. Having the uber-talented Hank Azaria in the cast doesn't hurt either.
|
![]() | Enter the Dragon (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $23.49 / Used from: $5.17 Arguably Bruce Lee's best, this is a must-see if you haven't seen it yet.
|
![]() | The Emperor's New Groove
Buy used from: $13.95 One of my favorite Disney movies, due in no small part to Cronk, this is a light-hearted comedy that even anti-Disneyites will probably like.
|
![]() | The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition)
Buy used from: $64.99 Do I really need to explain why these movies made the list?
|
![]() | We're No Angels
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $15.00 A classic comedy with, that's right, Mr. Bogart himself. An oldie, but a goodie.
|
![]() | Clerks (Collector's Series)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.03 Funny movie about two friends, who also happen to be clerks. If someone says 'Mallrats' is better than this, don't listen to him/her.
|
![]() | Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Special Edition)
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.24 One of the greatest comedies ever made, this one is truly a classic. Get the special edition as the bonus features alone are worth the price.
|
![]() | The Mel Brooks Collection (Blazing Saddles / Young Frankenstein / Silent Movie / Robin Hood: Men in Tights / To Be or Not to Be / History of the World, Part 1 / The Twelve Chairs / High Anxiety)
Buy new: $71.99 / Used from: $40.96 Not a bad one in the lot, this collection contains some of the best comedies ever made, including 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Blazing Saddles.' 'High Anxiety' and 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' are two of my personal favorites. Oddly enough, 'Spaceballs' is missing. As such, pick that one up too to complete the collection.
|
![]() | Spaceballs (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $2.48 To complete your Mel Brooks collection.
|
![]() | Seinfeld - Season 4
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.50 One of my favorite TV shows, season 4 had some of the best episodes of the series, including the episodes 'The Contest', 'The Airport', and 'The Bubble Boy.'
|
![]() | Friends - The Complete Series Collection
Buy new: $129.49 / Used from: $111.99 Sad as it is, I love this show. The early seasons were the best when the humor was sill fresh, but some of the later seasons had memorable episodes as well.
|
![]() | Tora! Tora! Tora!
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $3.49 A classic movie detailing December 7, 1941 and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This is THE movie to get on the subject, not that Ben Affleck crap.
|
![]() | Princess Mononoke
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $12.49 My favorite Miyazaki film, this movie tells of a struggle between nature and technology with a fantasy-inspired backdrop. Absolutely fantastic, plus the English dubbed version is actually really good, and in my opinion, is the preferrable version here (this is probably the only time I'll ever say this...)
|
![]() | The Warriors (The Ultimate Director's Cut)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.40 A true cult classic, this movie is based on the 'March of the 10,000' as told by Xenophon.
|
![]() | Desperado (Special Edition)
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.21 A shameless mix of bloodshed, sex, and mindless violence, this movie helped put Antonio Banderas on the map. Salma Hayek is worth the price alone!
|
![]() | The Scorpion King (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.95 Action-fest starring the Rock. Although not the greatest movie out there, it certainly is entertaining. Plus, I absolutely LOVE Kelly Hu.
|
![]() | The Princess Bride (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $2.25 A fantastic movie combining elements of fantasy, swashbuckling action, romance, miracles, and ROUS's, this movie is truly a timeless classic. Perfect for a rainy day (or any other day for that matter) and easily one of my favorite movies.
|
![]() | Die Hard (Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $0.09 The first and easily the best of the Die Hard movies, this is one of the best action movies ever made. Alan Rickman plays a great 'bad guy' and Bruce Willis is at his best here as John McClane.
