Iron Sky (the most politically incorrect comedy ever): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_IndUbcxc

Sunshine (awesome scifi/thriller): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wff9rzDzHy4

Dead Snow (trashy nazi-zombie comedy gold): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEQwEmeWnyI (and the sequel Dead Snow 2)

The Beast of War (key words: Afghanistan, tank, Mujahideen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxS3CL-IewY

Watchmen (best move based on a comic, and an interesting critical satire of the super hero genre): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVjA0y78_EQ
