Office Space is a classic - it's up there with Happy Gilmore for me. And if we're including 1999, then I've gotta mention Fight Club as well.

I was going to, but I could have swore it was from the late '90's. However, upon further review, it was from 2001.

5. Memento

3. Requiem for a Dream
2. Blindness
1. El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labryinth)

Really? Maybe I will have to give it another try. I absolutely could not get into this movie at all, I turned it off after about 45 minutes.

I'd liked it, but its depressing subject matter. It's not for everyone, that's for sure.

So many movies that would make my list have already been mentioned, but I don't believe I saw this one yet:

The Last King of Scotland, Forest Whitaker knocks it out of the park potraying Ugandan dictator Idi Amin (he won the oscar for it).

I was responding to the question about which movie he plays an awkward teenager in. And yeah...Year One was terrible...all kinds of disappointing.

Are you talking about the one where Sandler's family died on 9-11 and it has Don Chedle in it? Does Sandler get a chick in that one?
