Suggestions for good summer video movies?
I am going to be on my boat for the whole month of August. I have my book selection picked out, but I'd like to pick up a few movies (VHS) as well (something I can buy cheap on ebay). Any suggestions? I am thinking of good humor, satire, or suspense. I'm not into gratuitous violence, including anything with Bruce Willis (ick). New or old, no matter. Just -- good, maybe classic?
I would love to get some suggestions from my DU colleagues, who seem to have pretty good taste! :thumbsup:

thanks

2. The Producers
I thought it was the funniest movie ever made, even before the musical made it popular.

Also:

The Muppet Movie. Never goes out of style.

Arsenic and Old Lace. Farce is good, mmmkay?

Laura. You want suspense? You GOT it.

3. Here's a few
Big Fish - Just saw it last week and the cast is excellent...one of Albert Finney's best roles ever

Fargo - gotta love the Coen's and I can watch it again and again

Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Too Wong Foo...Swayze was just too good a woman...think it ruined his career

Legally Blonde and Freeways...Reese Witherspoon is TOO good

4. In America.
House of Sand and Fog (a little intense but good).

6. Has anyone seen Mothman Prophecies?
Someone mentioned it to me in passing the other day, but I know nothing about it, except what I read on IMDB.com. Sounds kind of iffy from that review, but the guy I talked to raved about it.

Thanks for all the suggestions. There are some really intriguing ones here.
