I think it's becoming increasingly apparent that James Gunn is if not the best, at least the most interesting writer-director working in the superhero genre.

Since we're recommending older movies in this thread as well I have to mention an older film of James Gunn's. If you like that style of jokiness mixed with action/horror, I recommend one of his first films called Slither. Stars Nathan Filion and an up and coming Elizabeth Banks, along with Michael Rooker for added coolness. Even has a small role for Corb Lund for those Alberta people in the know. Pretty fun (and kinda gross) film.
