Well, depends what you're in the mood for. If it's not Serenity, here are some suggestions

Comedy: The Big Lebowski, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Super Troopers, As Good as it Gets

Violent: Usual Suspects, Pulp Fiction, Godfather

Drama: Requiem for a Dream (can this really be watched more than once???), Pi, What Dreams May Come

Fun: Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix (first one, always a fun one), Indiana Jones (any of them)

Cant beat Robin Hood Men In Tights. Blinkin is so funny.

Grosse Pointe Blank - look no further for comedy, drama, soundtrack and violence. And poetry.

Amelie
Midnight Run
Aliens
Addams Family Values
The Blues Brothers
Bubba Ho-Tep
Clueless
Roxanne
Dog Soldiers
Gregory's Girl
The Iron Giant
Love Actually
Predator
Pride & Prejudice (Firth & Ehle)
Pulp Fiction
Freaky Friday (Curtis & Lohan)
My Cousin Vinny
Father Ted
The Wedding Singer
The Princess Bride
The Railway Children (Agutter & Thomsett)
Die Hard

There are plenty more that are good, but these strike me as pretty much perfect. Either sufficiently original or well acted / scripted or nicely constructed or all or none of the above. Not that it matters.

Tough selection, but no matter what my other personal favourites were, the list has to be suitable for a perfect stranger to be able to pick any one at random and enjoy it.

...'Course if you did find any of them duff, I'd have to find your soul black, barren and missing, but judging from the colour of your coat, I don't think it'll be a problem.

If you haven't seen Galaxy Quest, get that. It should be required viewing for all SF viewers.

You gotta see it! It's funny and original. Well, it was original at the time.

I thought I was the only person in this country that had actually SEEN Jack and Sarah. I LOVE that movie! Ditto Blade 3 and Constantine. MSG - Are you sharing my brain?

That's odd...I've seen the first and own the next two...

Perchance FMF and Ms. G have seen Hostel?
