			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was browsing around Netflix (finally in <a href="http://www.netflix.ca/">Canada</a>!) and because some newer movies I wanted to watch weren&#8217;t available I went looking for something on the other on the other side of funny, something I would laugh at.</p>
<p>I went into this movie with the worst intentions. I wanted a B movie to laugh at for crappy effects, terrible acting and an even worse plot. I&#8217;ve seen many bad movies from MST3K and that&#8217;s what I wanted to experience again here, something so bad it was laughable.</p>
<p>But I didn&#8217;t get that. I did get a B movie. And it did have some crappy effects. And it did have some poor acting. And the plot wasn&#8217;t always the best. But I laughed with it.</p>
<p>Why? Because I liked it. It was a B movie for sure, but I liked the humour, I liked the characters and I liked the plot. The effects weren&#8217;t the best but they were surprisingly good at times. The plot wasn&#8217;t amazingly fantastic, but it didn&#8217;t seem in the least bit contrived in the least. Hell, everything in this movie I can related to fairly well.</p>
<p>So now instead of laughing at the movie and telling people how bad it is I want to find a place to buy it online (for less than $30 &gt;.&gt;) and show it to as many people as I can. It&#8217;s not amazing but it&#8217;s pretty damn good.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not in any specific order, these are just movies with awesome plots, or characters, or awesomeness, or just plain awesome. Awesome:<br />
<span id="more-40"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Office Space</li>
<li>V for Vendetta</li>
<li>Wayne&#8217;s World</li>
<li>Monty Python and the Holy Grail</li>
<li>Men in Black</li>
<li>The Matrix (all 3, I don&#8217;t care what people say, finish the plot)</li>
<li>Anchorman</li>
<li>Charlie Wilson&#8217;s War</li>
<li>Pulp Fiction</li>
<li>Sin City</li>
<li>Thank You for Smoking</li>
<li>Superbad</li>
<li>Back to the Future</li>
<li>At least 3 Bond movies</li>
<li>Happy Gilmore</li>
<li>Rush Hour</li>
<li>Billy Madison</li>
<li>A Beautiful Mind</li>
<li>Fight Club</li>
<li>LotR (skip to the battle scenes)</li>

</ul>
<p>And there&#8217;s probably more but that should keep you busy for a few weeks. Not every movie is as totally awesome as the last one, but they are all required movies to watch.</p>
