If you haven't already seen it, I would highly recommend the HBO series "Band of Brothers".

I love equilibrium! One of my favorites. If you've exhausted movies may I recommend the HBO series 'game of thrones' - keeping me well entertained of late.

A surprisingly good documentary is Seven Up! which is the first in what-eventually-became a series (Wikipedia link). It starts off interviewing a bunch of 7-year-olds in England in 1964 and the director was able to follow-up with a few of them every seven years.
Basically watching kids from different social and economic backgrounds throughout their lives -- hearing their goals and dreams as children and then seeing what became of them. Actually looking forward to the next chapter in 2012.
Two other documentaries I really enjoyed were Food, Inc. and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.

Do you like crass humour? What about an underlying current of misogyny? Dialogue that could have been written by a 7 year old? If you are after a movie that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, that is actually literally "nasty", then you should watch "Your Highness". It has some loud-mouthed no-talent "comedian" in it. He seriously must have someone famous as a friend to have even gotten this turkey made. It just screams nepotism.
Seriously, no need to catch up on this one.
I know you probably want new movies, but I just recently watched the old Moby Dick with Gregory Peck - really excellent. Orson Welles as the Preacher really steals the movie IMO.

Dylan -- Streets of Fire. Stream it if you can, the dvd's out there generally suck, too dark and too much noise to watch.
Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

Did I mention Super Troopers last go around? It always amuses me.
I have a list of movies that I will watch on tv if they are on. Even at 2am.
Bloodsport
Roadhouse
Rambo (first blood and first blood part II)
Revenge of the Nerds (1-3)
Police Academy
Anything by Mel Brooks.
I'm sure I'm missing a few but it's late and I'm all hopped up on pain mess from having a wisdom tooth pulled this morning.
They're best watched on DVD IR whatnot but even though network TV cuts a lot out they're still enjoyable flicks.
