If you feel like going to the theaters/haven't seen it yet, I'd recommend Bridesmaids. It's the first movie I've seen in a really long time that made me cry and develop abs from laughing so hard. (something hilarious happens every ~2 minutes, no joke).
Also I recommend Inglorious Basterds, and Death at a Funeral (the original version!!) (my two personal favourites of all time)

Wow that is a long list. I've watched or heard of all but a few of these. A lot of boilerplate titles but also some standouts that I didn't expect to see; and some of them are really out of left field (Salo, Titticut Follies). Of them my favourites are:

A bunch I've been meaning to watch which are probably solid judging by the directors' other works or just general hype:

For movies at the theatre that I've seen recently, Super 8 is very good, and Hangover 2 was a decent follow up, but not as good as the first one. I've also heard good things about X-Men: First Class, but haven't gotten around to seeing it.

I concur. The next time you hold a big family gathering (ie xmas, birthday, reunion, etc), I highly suggest "Saḷ o le 120 giornate di Sodoma" be shown on a big screen tv (preferably on a 120+ inch projector screen). |

X Men First Class was an excellent movie, good plot and convincing actors. But really, the highlight of the movie was Hugh Jackman's 5 second cameo. I could watch that movie just for that scene and be happy stopping it there  |
