1. Wow! I could use that up with
Johnny Depp movies or Monty Python movies alone! ;-) You mean recent releases or just in general?

5. Any great movie you can think of....
There are classics in the making, and like you mentioned Monty Python movies from the past.

22. 8 Mile was awesome!
I didn't like Eminem until his latest CD. I went to see him with my neice when he was in St Louis in 2002 and he puts on a show! I hope he tours this year because I'd like to see him again.

10. I forgot about Shawshank! Its definitely on the top 5...
Of course I think Morgan Freeman is one of the best actors hollywood has to offer. I haven't really seen anything I haven't liked of his.

15. I saw an ultra cool Aliens boxset.
X2, the second XMen movie.
The LOTR Two Towers... and Fellowship of the Ring, if they don't have it.
Oh, and the Indiana Jones movies are finally on DVD.
That would be cool.

Other than that, I agree with the Monty Python suggestions and someone here said the Spinal Tap DVD was hysterical.
And that's cool.

25. Spinal Tap commentary
