Its coming up to the end of the summer and ill be back in college in little over a month, but before then im heading to HMV on a dvd binge so i can have a big selection for college to keep me entertained when The Panel isn't on i need some recommendations for dvds, new releases or oldies, it doesn't matter, just need some good movies to watch.
A sort list of films i like off the top of my head (in no order of genre):

Tommy Boy
Clerks
American History X
Taxi Driver, Scarface, etc
Goodfellas, Casino, Godfather, etc
Big Fish
Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, etc

When Harry met Sally,
Two weeks notice,
You've got Mail,
While you were sleeping...

...are films you won't want to watch I guess

So, how about,
Once upon a time in America...one of my favourite films
Deliverance
Southern Comfort
The Deer Hunter

Karl Hungus

Judging from the films you've mentioned:

Dead Man's Shoes
Oldboy
A Bittersweet Life
Save The Green Planet
Office Space
Brotherhood
Pan's Labyrinth
Layer Cake
The Woodsman
Bad Boy Bubby

So, quite a few dark, gritty films there, a lot of indipendant ones, so hopefully you won't have seen them before, and an excellent comedy.

Morlar

I would go for . . .

Bladerunner,

Brother 2 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother-2
War - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyna
9th Company - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_9th_Company

The Bollox

if you don't have it then I'd say get the Father Ted box set. I have it over a year and cannot get bored of it, no matter how hard I try

Aliens is always good for a lads night in
Kill Bill
Ring (Jap version)
American Beauty (fantastic film, can't recommend it enough)
Spaceballs

Wacker

Well, if you liked True Romance, you really need to see Badlands, which heavily inspired it. It has the same fantastic music, and Martin Sheen rules.

If you're into Coppolla (you listed the Godfather), check out the Conversation. Hackman's performance in it is the best piece of acting I've ever seen.

That'll keep you happy for now.

The Bollox

oh actually, no college mans collection is complete without Commando. it's so cheesy but oh so good

Conor108

When it's out...get 'Sunshine'...so good

Schism

Leon
Saw
Rounders
A Scanner Darkly
Falling Down

Also boxsets of series are great too if you just want to watch something for half an hour or so.

Kevski

Kill Bill
Resevoir Dogs
Pans Labyrinth
Mean Creek
Donnie Darko
V For Vendetta

If you don't already watch it, you should try get into 24. It's really addictive and you can pick up the boxsets gor around €40 each

Jello

I'd highly recommend Battle Royale.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

City Of God
Alpha Dog
Cannibal: The Musical (if you're lucky enough to find a copy of it anywhere)
The Last King Of Scotland
Cool Hand Luke

Ruu_Old

Mallrats
Ferris Bueller
Clockwork Orange
Karate Kid boxset

Check Bargain Alerts every once in a while, I often post when I find some decent priced boxsets.

Galvasean

Showdown in Little Tokyo.
What? It passes the time like no other!
