Default Mail-Order Rental DVD suggestion thread

So my Netflix queue has been kinda empty lately and I was thinking of downgrading to a one-at-a-time plan because I haven't found any good movies to rent as of late. So this thread is here for suggesting DVDs to rent.

I just returned XMen: The Last Stand and Infernal Affairs (the original Hong Kong movie that The Departed is adapted from). I'll watch just about anything. So suggest away!

I really should make a list of all the DVD's I "own". The Blockbuster employees stop and say Hi to me outside of the store since I'm there so much.

Quick suggestions though:
H
Pootie Tang(this is the greatest movie in the history of ever)
Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai
Friend(its a Tartan Cinema movie so you know its good)
Memories of Murder
Tae Guk Gi
Pootie Tang(still the greatest movie)

If you haven't already checked them out:

Shallow Grave. http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800229641/info

This movie is so sweet. 3 flat mates need a 4th. They get him, and then it's off and running. Early work from Ewan McGregor and the same director as Trainspotting.

Dollars ($) http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800058451/info

This one might be hard to find, you might have to go through Goldi Hawn's or Warren Beatty's filmography to find it, just because of the odd naming. Yahoo calls it "$", but I couldn't find it with either search. Anyway, it's a fantastic movie. European crime capper with Warren playing a bank security specialist, back when people still had to visit the bank for even the most rudimentary of transactions. It was filmed in 1971. One of the highlights of the film is seeing how all of this went down with out cell phones. Another 10 years, and your kids will be asking what a phone booth is. Another highlight is seeing Goldie Hawn in her phyiscal prime.

Both flicks feature dramatic plot twists to keep the viewer guessing and original scripting that can only be seen as something akin to nuclear waste in today's Hollywood.
