"Memento"
Vary dark. A lot of bad people. Several twists.

Try to find "Waking Life" from 2001. It's directed by Richard Linklater, using a rotoscoping animation-over-live-action technique in a story about dream-states. He has been working on perfecting that technique for his latest, "A Scanner Darkly," which opens in limited release tomorrow (but not in my town, gorramit).

"I have been here many times before In a life I used to live
But I have never seen these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain
I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain
Like the whole world has been made again."

For movies not other wise listed:
Can't beat a Universal monster flick. 
The Mummy
The Mummy Returns
Van Helsing
Muppet Treasure Island (Tim Curry as Long John Silver...need I say more?)
12 Angry Men (An awesome flick even 49 years later)
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Dead Again
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Tomorrow, you let us know what you watched ans write a 2 page report on it. Don't forget to mention foreshadowing and symbolism.
Just kidding!

I love the Mummy, but Van Helsing? Me and my friends watched with the sound turned down and made up our own storylines and script as it went along, which was, actually so much better (super horny spary!- don't ask)We did it with the Matrix, and Pirates of the Carribbean too, and they were good that way.
I suggest:
Con Air - if you want violence
Dodgeball or BASKETball (like dodgeball, only dirtier) if you want mindless comedy
My Cousin Vinnie or Young Frankenstein if you want good comedy
1st Wives Club if you want femenist comedy (great for getting over boys)
Oh! I love Men in Tights!
Are you fagellers?
No, just merry.
Damn you Fox! Damn you to Hades!!

We watched Fever Pitch the other night, with Jimmy Fallon (not usually a fav of mine) and Drew Barrymore, and I have to say it was fun. Husband liked it a lot too even though I'd classify it as a romantic comedy.
Crazed Red Sox fans...what's not to like?

Wolf Creek is a good one if you want something scarry. Not for kiddies though if you have little ones. best leave WC on the shelf.

You want something jaw dropping and different? Try Nightwatch. It has it's own thread floating around here.

I can't say enough good things, so I won't try.

Van Helsing was a fun monster flick. It didn't promise anything else and darn it, I had fun watching it. I mean its a Universal monters movie, of course there's gonna be corn.
Yeah, it's eminently MSTie-able, but a lot of fun things are. Even the BDM.
I was just giving a well rounded list.
