I'll rent Blackhawk Down tonight if it's in, and I'll grab another one if you can think of a good title.  Help me avoid the tendency to wander mindlessly through the aisles.

Recommend!

If you agree with a particular suggestion, then second the motion.

And don't buy the 1 disc version, make sure it's the 3 disc Deluxe Edition.
There's a lot of great stuff on it.

I've never seen BHD either. I figure it's got a bad ending...

For the other movie I'd recommend The Big Lebowski or Minority Report.

I normally hate that special crap(I'd rather they include an extra movie).  Is it that good in this case?

Thanks.  Those are good calls.  

I've seen only the Godfather  out of those, but a guy can't ever go wrong seeing that one again.  I'm headed out, but feel free to add more.  I'll be able to check this later.

If you do not watch that movie ASAP I will vote to have your membership revoked.

That is all.

I'll second Gummo. If you like that you might like Salcker.

Thanks! I totally forgot about that film. I saw the theater release back when I was stationed in Texas. Agreed, love that film also ... it's a classic.

CROSS of IRON is a good film. It's a Germans at the Russian Front film.
Or if you have plenty of time, try the boxed set of Band of Brothers.

Wow, I need to upgrade!  I got the first version the day it came out on DVD, but this version is superior.
