Summer's here, time to catch up on movies (DVD suggestions please)

Since the networks are beginning to shovel out the usual summer dreck, it’s time for me and the Mrs. to start catching up on the movies we’ve been too lazy/busy to catch in the theaters.

This weekend we caught Following, The Others, Ghost World, and Harry Potter. All were excellent, so it was a pretty good run. My wife tried to break the streak by suggesting A Knight’s Tale, but fortunately I dissuaded her.

Anyone have any suggestions for some out-of-the-way flicks I could try? I’ll probably try Mullholland Drive and Requiem for a Dream pretty soon, although I’m afraid both might be too gritty for the wife from what I’ve read. I like to try the different flicks though, I’ve stumbled on some of my favorite movies that way, for example Sweet Hereafter and Welcome to Sarajevo.

Any suggestions for “must-see-DVDs” anyone?

Memento: Limited Edition, even if you’ve already seen the movie.

Ocean’s Eleven. Supposed to be a good DVD, and it certainly was a good movie.

Those are the two that instantly come to mind for me.
