Caddyshack
Greenskeeper Carl Spackler is about to start World War III – against a gopher. Pompous Judge Smails plays to win but his nubile niece Lacey Underall wants to score her own way. Playboy Ty Webb shoots perfect golf by becoming the ball. And country club loudmouth Al Czervik just doubled a $20,000 bet on a 10-foot putt. Insanity? No. Caddyshack.

Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray and Ted Knight tee off for a side-splitting round of fairway foolishness that does for golf what National Lampoon's Animal House did for fraternities and Police Academy did for law enforcement. With hitmaker Harold Ramis (National Lampoon's Vacation, Analyze This) in the director's chair, the virtuoso comic skills of all four blend into a riotous hole-in-one for comedy fans. In Caddyshack, the term "golf nut" takes on a deranged double meaning – and nonstop laughter is par for the course!
Training Day
Rookie cop Jake Hoyt wants to stop crooks, not become one. But staying on the right side of the line that separates cop from criminal will be more challenging than anything he's faced. Because Hoyt's senior partner for the next 24 hours is Alonzo Harris, an undercover narc meaner than any of L.A.'s mean streets.

In a powerful departure from his frequent good-guy roles, Denzel Washington plays Harris, the twisted but charismatic detective who both attracts and repels as he becomes the kind of thug he's supposed to collar. Ethan Hawke plays unseasoned recruit Hoyt. And Antoine Fuqua (The Replacement Killers, Bait) directs, guiding a cast that includes music stars Dr. Dre, Macy Gray and Snoop Dogg. Training Day. It's a day of reckoning.
Ocean's Eleven
The plan is set.  The rules are clear.  If all goes right for Danny Ocean's grifters, the payoff is $150 million.  Divided by 11.  You do the math.

The skill of Academy Award®-winning* director Steven Soderbergh combines with enough starpower to light up the Las Vegas strip in this classy caper.  George Clooney plays Danny, defying the odds in a split-second heist of three Vegas casinos – all owned by a magnate (Andy Garcia) who is dating Danny's ex-wife (Julia Roberts).  A fixer (Brad Pitt), a pickpocket (Matt Damon), a blackjack dealer (Bernie Mac), a flimflammer (Carl Reiner) and others in well-defined roles are with Danny.  Are you in or out?

*2000: Best Director for Traffic

Rat Race
An all-star comedy cast brings laughs from start to finish when a casino tycoon gives six money-crazed contestants the chance to win $2 million in a race from Las Vegas to New Mexico.

Now there we find some great titles in this package!
Sadly no E.T. again  :whistle:  :hysterical:

But even without this little bugger your absence from horror should now feel dramatically shorter.
My recommendations here:

1. Million Dollar Baby (5/5)
2. Kiss of the Dragon (4.5/5)
3. Runaway Jury (4.5/5)
4. The Replacement Killers (4/5)
5. National Security (3.5/5)
6. Training Day (4.5/5)
7. Changing Lanes (4.5/5)
8. Intolerable Cruelty (3/5)
9. Mission: Impossible (both of them are great)
10. Ocean's 11 (and 12) (both of these are great too)

I'm still not sure if I like "Troy", possibly I have to re-watch it.

Seems like the list was too big and got cut off... here is the rest!  :laugh:

In the Bedroom

When young Frank Fowler (Nick Stahl) becomes romantically involved with an older single mother (Tomei), his parents (Spacek & Wilkinson) are concerned. But when the relationship takes a sudden and tragic turn, the Fowlers are forced to confront the harsh reality of their situation and the inescapable consequences of their actions.

*2001
**Best Actress, Coal Miner's Daughter 1980
†Best Supporting Actress, My Cousin Vinny 1992
View from the Top
Academy Award®-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare In Love, Best Actress, 1998; Shallow Hal) stars in this hilarious comedy hit about a small-town girl who's about to get a taste of the big-time world! No one thought Donna (Paltrow) would go very far. But when she sets her sights on becoming a first-class international flight attendant, Donna throws caution to the wind and takes off in pursuit of her dream! The ride is anything but smooth, however, and Donna's laugh-packed journey of a lifetime is rocked by more turbulence than she bargained for! Also starring Christina Applegate (TV's Married With Children), Rob Lowe (Austin Powers trilogy, Tommy Boy), Kelly Preston (What A Girl Wants, Jerry Maguire) and Candice Bergen (Sweet Home Alabama, Miss Congeniality), this charmingly funny treat will send your spirits soaring!
The Island of Dr. Moreau
On a remote island in the South Pacific, Dr. Moreau has used the key of science to unlock the gates of hell... Val Kilmer ('Heat', 'Batman Forever', 'The Ghost and the Darkness'), David Thewlis ('Dragonheart'), Fairuza Balk ('The Craft') and Academy Award®-winner Marlon Brando (Best Actor, 'The Godfather' 1972) star in this fantastic sci-fi thriller based on the best-selling novel by H.G. Wells. Stan Winston’s Creature Workshop ('Jurassic Park') creates frighteningly real special effects.

Dr. Moreau is a brilliant genetics on the brink of superseding evolution. When a U.N. diplomat visits Moreau's island laboratory, he uncovers fantastic but brutal experiments turning animal life forms into human-like beasts. As Moreau and his assistant race towards their barbaric goal of creating the perfect life form—the beasts revolt—threatening not only the island but ultimately all mankind!
Trial and Error
Charles Tuttle (Jeff Daniels, Dumb & Dumber, Pleasantville) is a mild-mannered, big-city attorney, sent to a small desert town a few days before his wedding to defend a cry-baby con artist (Rip Torn, Men in Black). He arrives to find his high-strung best friend, Richard (Michael Richards, "Seinfeld"), an out-of-work actor, brewing up a bachelor party blast that soon turns Charles' brilliant legal mind into jello. Trying to do the groom-to-be a favor, Richard pretends he's Charles and goes to trial, giving the performance of his career while turning the courtroom upside down. Meanwhile, Charles finds romance in the arms of a beautiful waitress (Charlize Theron, Devil's Advocate, The Astronaut's Wife), who proves to him that there is no law against falling in love.
A Man Apart
When they took his love...they took his life. Now, he's out to get it back. Vin Diesel (XXX, The Fast and the Furious) explodes as volatile DEA agent Sean Vetter, a former LA gang member whose street smarts have made him the ideal undercover narcotics officer. Together with partner Demetrius Hicks (Larenz Tate, Biker Boyz), Vetter succeeds in taking down the Mexican cartel's top drug lord. A ruthless new trafficker named Diablo takes control of the cocaine empire. To signal his arrival, he orders a hit on Vetter. Though the agent narrowly escapes with his life, his beautiful wife (Jacqueline Obradors, TV's "NYPD Blue") is killed in the crossfire. Vowing revenge, Vetter strikes a deal for information on the elusive Diablo and sets out to deliver his own harsh brand of street justice in this taut, action packed thriller.
Derailed
Married man Charles Schine (Clive Owen) meets Lucinda Harris (Jennifer Aniston), a high powered businesswoman, on a commuter train one morning. An innocent conversation leads to an evening drink. Before either one can stop it, their aroused passions lead to a sizzling one-night stand. Suddenly a stranger explodes into their world, threatening to expose their secret, and lures them into a terrifying game with more surprises than they saw coming.

Plus she said she has a little something in the box for Brittany... but it is a surprise. So sorry Britt... not going to be that easy to find out!!!  :laugh:

There is several I am really looking forward to. I used to LOVE watching Kung Fu when I was a kid... so I am excited about seeing those again after all these years. As for the movies... Extremely excited to see Million Dollar Baby... heard it is an excellent movie! Out of the ones you listed I seen Changing Lanes... but been years so really don't remember it. And seen at least part one of Mission Impossible... which I remember I enjoyed. :) The rest of those you listed I never seen before.

As I said earlier... I am really looking forward to seeing the episodes of Kung Fu again! But I was just looking at the profile for season 1. Is DVD Profiler just wrong... or did they mess up the release of the first season!?!?! According to the profile season 1 is 1.78:1 Animorphic Widescreen!?!? On a TV series from the '70s!?! that is definitely not OAR!

Please tell me that the profile is wrong... and if it isn't... how could the studio mess this up so badly?

Of course I will still enjoy watching it... just boggles the mind they could have done this.

Well she just PMed me to let me know the DVDs are on the way... and she told me she was able to fit one more into the box...

The Wicker Man
"We're different here." Policeman Edward Malus doesn't know just how terrifyingly different the people of Summersisle are, but he will. He's come to the private island to find a missing child. And each step of his search draws him deeper into a web of pagan ritual and deadly deceit — and closer to The Wicker Man.

Nicolas Cage plays Malus, Ellen Burstyn portrays the eerie matriarch Sister Summersisle, and Neil LaBute writes and directs this shattering tale of an unspeakable horror. Weary and increasingly on edge, Malus faces a defiant, unfamiliar world where his badge and gun mean nothing...and his presence on the isle means everything. It is the Day of Death and Rebirth on Summersisle. No one can escape.

Another one for my Horror Marathon! Is it October yet? :P

Wow. Again.  :slaphead: :laugh:

Some really interesting titles in there. Changing Lanes is good, if you take it for what it is, which is a simple moral tale, very well told. And In The Bedroom is marvellous and brilliant, but you need to take a good run at it, Pete. It's a slow moving drama that makes a very bold move in the final act.

I must watch that again. Oh, hold on. I can't because some swine kept it when I let it them. >:( Along with my Battle Royale too... :weep:
