Well what about movies that have camp value? I love b movies.

Grizzly: A classic b movie. It isnt worth watching the whole thing but this video covers the best parts.

Only thing I have to say is A BEAR VS A BAZOOKA(at end of video)!

[Ack]

Ah, for stuff like that, I find this is an excellent website.

Hey Jrecee, when you say "The Machinest", do you mean the 2004 film with Christian Bale, El Maquinista?
If it is, I've seen all but three on that list...

Yep. . . which three didn't you see?

The Machinist was entertaining but it suffered from the Matrix's legacy (ie Lawrence Fishburne's Morpheus-like character)..

You must be thinking of a different movie.

[Ack]

Excuse me, on a second inspection there were four I hadn't seen. I didn't notice Raising Arizona was on there. I haven't seen any of these, though I've heard good things about most of them. Used Cars I'm not familiar with.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Raising Arizona
Used Cars
Vanishing Point (1971)

Since you seem to be a bit of a fan of vehicle movies, have you ever seen Duel? I haven't gotten a chance to, but I've heard it's worth checking out.

If you enjoyed Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer, look into the rest of Stephen Chow's films. God of Gamblers 3 And God of Cookery specfically.

Those are definitely not 'few' so many thanks for that list it should keep me occupied for weeks!

Thanks! I wonder why are those less known than Shaolin Soccer and KFH?

[Ack]

They're earlier works, and don't necessarily translate as well to an international audience. But they are good, or at least God of Cookery is. I haven't seen God of Gamblers 3 so I couldn't say.
