Life-changing, even. Actually not really... but if you DO want to watch something that will change the way you live your life (scout's honor!), you should rent "The Tao of Steve." I'm willing to swear by it, in fact. If you're not attracting swarms of beautiful women like some kind of delicious half-eaten pastry attracts flies, I will personally... rent you something else. On me. No joke. Watch this movie. Isn’t it amazing?! Life-changing, even.

As long as you're watching that, though, you should also check out anything else produced by Kevin Smith and View Askew (Dogma, Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Chasing Amy) because it's all quite excellent.

I know you're itching to watch The Princess Diaries for yourself and if you need a plausible scapegoat then you can tell people I recommended that one as well, but yeah. The Princess Bride f'ing rocks. then watch: layer cake matchpoint & shall we dance (the original, japanese version) ...that should get things rolling. =) I just have to give you a standing ovation for remembering the movie I recommended.

Fortuntely (or unfortunately I suppose) I've only seen a couple of these. It's almost embarassing. Thanks for your great suggestions, I'll get them added right away. Wow Jiri, awesome list!
