    Hi all,

    Would anyone be interested in recommending some (preferably lesser known) films to other members based on something they like?

    So, someone names a film they like. Then other posters suggest another film they might enjoy.

    Something along the lines of "If you like [blank], see [blank]...".

    Anyone care to set the ball rolling?

    If you like Little Miss Sunshine, see National Lampoon's Vacation.

    More of an out-and-out comedy than Little Miss Sunshine, though it shares the theme of a (slightly) dysfunctional family driving across several US states, with many episodic comic interludes, including amusing run-ins with law enforcement officers.

    What about a film for other people to make recommendations based on? :)

    Any thoughts?
