First Post
As the title says, I'm bored. It's amazing what three days of sitting on your arse in front of a computer will do to you.

Anyway, what are some of your favorite movies? High geekery or not, I'm looking for some good films to rent. Here's the list I have so far:

Labryinth - I haven't seen it yet. I hear that it is required. :)
Braveheart - See above.
Lilo and Stich
Dogma
Fight Club
Highlander
Masterminds - I was told this was good. Has anyone else seen it?
Guyver 2: Dark Hero
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Wuxia, yeah!
Predator 2 - saw the first one, liked it.

What are some of your favorites?

Star Trek: Nemesis - definately a good movie.. worth the $$$ you shell out to rent it.
The Gamers - haven't seen it yet but people say it's good
 

For High Geekery

Dragonslayer - made in 1981 - still the best Dragon ever put on a movie screen, with the possible exception of Reign of Fire. (I'll scream if someone mentions Dragonheart.)

Non-High Geekery

Shawshank Redemption
Waiting for Guffman
Dick
 


A few favorites off the top of my head (most of which I already own):

- Swingers
- The Big Lebowski
- The Big Kahuna
- The Usual Suspects
- Seven
- Anything by Kevin Smith (Clerks/MallRats/Chasing Amy/Dogma/Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back)
- High Fidelity
- Grosse Pointe Blank
- Reservoir Dogs
- Goodfellas
- Silence Of The Lambs
- Pulp Fiction
