Of the ones from that list I have seen (about half) Boogie Nights was by far the best.

[Chairman Wood]

Boogie Nights is an awesome movie. The rest of them are pretty worthless.

YES

American Wedding because most of the other ones are pretty bad.

I would watch this, except somehow I managed to avoid all of the other American Pie movies. So I'll wait to see the earlier ones first.

[GuyOnTilt]

A Mighty Wind.

GoT

[tbach24]

Shrek 2 and FoolProof are the other 2 good one's (Malibu's Most Wanted was the first)

I might go with this one since it's only got a few days left.

In case anyone is wondering why these are my choices:

Cinemax (http://www.cinemax.com/apps/hodschedule/cod50category.do?CATG_ID=PMRS464)
HBO (http://www.hbo.com/apps/hodschedule/hodcategory.do?CATG_ID=BTRS302)
Showtime (http://www.sho.com/site/ondemand/playing.do)

I deleted all the ones I've seen already...

[Senor Cardgage]

Boogie Nights, Big Fish, or A Mighty Wind (I've heard it's funny, but I haven't seen it).

[Klepton]

the edge - anthony hopkins and alec baldwin kill a bear

and talk really tough

and it reminds me of LOST

[durron597]

Can you give us some sort of direction as to what sort of movie you are in the mood for?

Chronicles of Riddick is good if you want to see an action movie (it is a good action movie, if not necessarily good all around)

Shrek 2 is a very good romantic comedy

Boogie Nights is very good semi-porn

Of Mice and Men (if it is the original) is a good drama. I haven't seen a remake if there was one.

-----------------

In general, the comedies are pretty good across the board on this list, so if you are uncertain I would pick one of those.

That doesn't matter so much, since most of these will be around for a while. About 15 drop off the list and and are replaced by new ones each week.

Here are those I watched and liked:

Mostly "meh" with a few laughs. Maybe I was expecting something more like Spinal Tap.

Boogie Nights tomorrow, probably...

[tarcards]

hahaha I had the same choice this morning, this is the hbo and cinimax on demand list. I went with Can't Hardly Wait.

[pryor15]

definitely:

BIG FISH
A MIGHTY WIND
BOOGIE NIGHTS

maybe:
THE CLEARING
SHREK 2
MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO
SHATTERED GLASS
DARK BLUE
NARC
NORTHFOLK

almost all the rest are pretty much crap.
