I want to watch some movies, but I'm not in a downer state-of-mind for me to be watching depressing movies, so I want the complete opposite!
Here's some stuff that I have watched and enjoyed
- Animal House
- Tommy Boy
- Accepted
- Revenge of the Nerds _________________

- Hall Pass is one of my favourite comedies of the past couple of years, as is The Other Guys
- Step Brothers or Old School starring Will Ferrel (sp?) if you enjoy his stuff.
- Anything Leslie Nielson if you like your lame stuff
- I surprised myself and found Get Him to the Greek to be quite funny, even though I generally don't like Russel Brand.
- I thought Sex Drive had enough originality in the teen sex romp category to be worth watching
- The original Harold and Kumar possibly for some stoner comedy
- If you don't game too much or don't consder yourself that much of a nerd, then you'll hate Grandma's Boy
- There's still Beverly Hills Ninja and Black Sheep if you liked Tommy Boy. Black Sheep has David Spade also, so kind of a spiritual sequel.
- Super Troopers is good if you like stoner comedies. Beerfest has the same cast but I found it to be terrible.
- Don't be a Menace to South Central
- Some Paul Rudd stuff like Role Models and I Love you, Man, kind of geeky comedies
- Three Trailer Park Boys full length movies exist if you haven't seen the series, a bit of stuff has been reused from the series so it'll be a good introduction if you haven't seen it before.
State of Origin is on so I'll come back for some more after the game.

Forgetting Sarah Marshal
Baseketball
Billy Madison

Thanks for reminding me of this movie. I saw it many years ago and still had great memories of it.
I just watched it again tonight. Great movie. I especially like the Bruce Lee mocking part of it.  _________________
