Happy Gilmore (1996)
The best comedy I've ever seen!
This movie is an incredibly hilarious movie, no matter how many times you watch it. It's true that it's profane, violent, and stupid, but in this film, that's what makes it so funny! The timing is just perfect. It's a great movie to watch with friends for the first time, especially for the fact that you will be quoting lines with them randomly for quite a while. I have seen it over 30 times, and I still laugh. This is Adam Sandler at his very best. Great random characters, such as the "Jackass" man, the homeless guy, and very best, Bob Barker! To tell you the truth,"It'll make you laugh until you hyperventilate". There's not only great vocal humor, but the visuals and especially the body language coming from the actors is classic. To me, there is not a better comedy.
V for Vendetta (2005)
Fantastic and Thought-Provoking
I was originally attracted to this movie because of the fact that the Wachowski brothers were involved. Surprisingly, you'll find that it contained the good elements of the Matrix trilogy, and a set of new ones mixed in. There's just the right amount of suspense, to where you aren't becoming uncomfortable, but it keeps you interested. The ending is fairly good, especially relative to the endings of most movies like it. If you watch movies for mindless entertainment, this is probably not the movie for you. There's enough action to satisfy most people, and the plot is one of the best I've seen in a very long time. I'm considering seeing it once more in the theater because of all the thought involved. You're constantly thinking, putting things together, understanding the events and their meanings, so you miss a little bit of the unimportant things. I enjoyed how there was very little of the cheesy, and predictable things every movie viewer has seen many times before. The sound is good, the dialogue is easily heard, and the visuals are great. Overall, it's a wonderfully written movie, possibly a must-see.
