You know it’s summer and it rains everyday. No point in going outside, so sit down and watch a movie.
Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail
It’s by far one of the best Monty Python movies. Hilarious all the way through, the Monty Python crew withholds nothing and mocks everything, because lets be honest, anything thing these guys do is great. (Well if you’re a male between the ages of 15-62 anyway, sorry ladies). This one will have laughing until your sides split and even past when the rain stops. Ladies if you want to make your guy happy, watch this. After you do he’ll do whatever you want because you are apparently awesome.

Yojimbo
Yeah I know it’s foreign. Why the hell would you want to spend your day watching a movie and having to read subtitles? But, when a movie is so superb, who cares if you have to read. This one is more for the guys again, but its got great action from amazing director, Akira Kurosawa. Yojimbo, which translates to the bodyguard, is about a ronan, which means a samurai who has lost his master. He enters a town to find work and discovers it is plagued by two rival gangs. He starts to manipulate them both and then the awesomeness ensues, which I will not spoil for you.
Tremors
You know those movies that are so bad, they’re good? Yeah, this is one of them. Strange prehistoric creatures visit a small town and Kevin Bacon is the only one who can save it. How amazing is that? The guy from Footloose, is an action hero! These creatures eat everything: cars, houses, and especially people. You want to know the best part? There are two sequels. But they don’t live up to the original, even though the last one the creatures are called assblasters, but that’s beside the point.
The Great Dictator
Charlie Chaplin, the name alone rings of comedy gold. Chaplin basically plays Hitler, but he’s not playing Hitler, he’s Hynkel the Dictator of Tomania. In time before World War Two, the world was very uneasy. This is one of this films that marked a generation and told them it was okay to laugh. Okay enough of the pleasantries. He is mocking Hitler and the kind of person he was, it’s drop to the floor laughter ’til you die. I’ll say it a million times, making fun of a Nazi is funny.
Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome
It’s the third and last installment of the Mad Max series, and by far the best one. Mad Max was too slow. Road Warrior was alright. Thunderdome rules. You know you’ve always wanted to get a little person and someone as tall as Andre the giant, have them play piggy back and call them Master Blaster. Geez, Tina Turner is it, so you know its going to be good. In this post-apocalyptic world one man rules: Mel Gibson, and he has to save his life and the wastes from doom.

Shaun of the Dead
Zombies, zombies, zombies, people killing zombies, zombies eating people… How do people think this is not great entertainment? This is the debut of Simon Pegg, at least in America. He and his pudgy sidekick must save his girlfriend and their friends and make it to the Winchester, a bar, which happens to be the only place safe from the horde of zombies attacking the town. It’s funny, its british; which doesn’t mean its dry and witty, it’s flat out hilarious. I apologize I used the “Z” word
Better Off Dead
Teen angst: always a hot topic. It’s very early John Cusack (before he lifted the stereo above his head in Say Anything). He loses the love of his life and decides the only way he can get her attention again is by killing himself. I know makes a lot of sense, right? This is the predecessor of all the random comedy that we have now. You will watch and laugh and love it. If you don’t, well then that sucks for you because this movie is awesome.
Blade Runner
Do you know what Harrison Ford did in between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Return of the Jedi? No? Blade Runner. This is film noir at its finest. Excuse the film term. This is a detective drama at its finest. Dude, it’s got killer robots that look like humans! Ford’s mission is to hunt then down and kill them. But what happens when these killer robots are more human than those hunting them? You know what that means, it means you have to watch it and find out.
Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex; But Were Afraid to Ask
Rummaging through your parents VHS collection you look at this and get all excited. Well if you’re a 12-year-old boy you think its porn and get really excited. You pop it in and get disappointed, because this is a comedy. A very hilarious, awesome comedy from Woody Allen (before he got all weird and dated his daughter or whatever). This movie follows along with the book of the same name that was popular in 1970s. It sounds dumb, but it’s not. It’s episodic, meaning it’s not a complete story, it’s a series of shorter stories. If you ever heard someone talking about Gene Wider and the sheep, this is that movie.

The Brave Little Toaster
Remember when you had to clean out a VHS player and actually rewind something? Do you remember The Brave Little Toaster? If you don’t, you should. This is one of those movies that you watch over and over and over, when you’re five. When you’re twenty you learn how movies like this changed you back then. And you look at yourself and know you are a brave little toaster.

Ok I know it’s the original trailer, but it’s the best one I can find.
