Back to Keanu Reeves, if I may...
He was in Winnipeg like 10+ years ago doing a production of Hamlet for a few weeks. He was fucking Hamlet.
No one would buy me a ticket to it, though (Apparently being seen with the girl who would probably scream for Ted 'Theodore' Logan through the whole performance didn't seem appealing...) so I don't know first hand, but apparently he did an OK job.

I love Dark Side of the Rainbow, I used to frequent this "movie/music synching" site and they had this incredibly elaborate playlist to get you through the whole movie. I did that a couple of times ("Dude, check this out") and got jaded. Went to a public show of Dark Side of the Rainbow (at least once a year in Greensboro somebody makes a big deal out of it and gets a spot at the Colloseum or the old Movie Palace downtown decides it needs to capitalize on the stoner market, this was a movie palace one) and I lectured the people working there about how they should not have just restarted Dark Side of the Moon and how to do it "right."
I should have just been satisfied with the fact that they managed to get the third roar bit down.

@ R.Moon - that's perfect. I'm tired of critics and editors creating out of thin air "rules." Fuck 'em all. My favorite authors broke the rules, and who the fuck are these people with their rules?
Love this list - I'm going to print it and post it - the irony is beautiful...

Basically any Kevin Smith film is great, especially Clerks.
Profanity does not suck. It's the voice of the middle and lower class.
And for fuck's sake, use contractions.

Big Trouble in Little China rocks!
I don't why I just thought of this, maybe because of the 80's, but another great bad movie is License to Drive with the late Corey Haim.

I'll put Snakeeater and American Ninja against anything. Two of the absolutly batshit insane martial arts/action flicks that really inspired me as a child/teenager. Inspired might be the wrong word. They're so horrible that it's like zen. It transends thought. Just amazing.

Book with a one word title: Diary (Palahniuk) and Room (Donoghue)

I'm looking forward to Taco Bell's Gord-zilla!
