Tough question. I would have to say the top of my list for new releases is " Love Actually" . No, it is not girly, it is British. Full of great talent and wonderful humour and wit. It is a must see for all (apparently the special features are pretty good too)

Other' s I can think of off hand:
Schindler' s List was just released on Dvd (if you like that movie, I know I do)
Mambo Italiano (no great special freatures though)
Pirates of the Carribean
Fight Club (has some great bonuses as well)
Dogma (Collectors edition)

That' s all I can think of right now for neutral titles

those the more recent ones (recent in being ones that i watched recently)

**I just finished watching Infernal Affairs (foriegn release) god damn I sugest every1 find that and watch it. Its about and undercover cop whos in with the triads and a Mole in the police force. That there pretty much sums up how many twists this movie has. It is very very well done. There may be american movies with similar title try and find Infernal Affairs that co-stars Anthony Wong.**

Ill give a better description when i can.

I agree with The Family Guy - that is hilarious. I was not a big fan of American Psycho, I watched it twice to make sure and it didn' t really appeal to me either time.
