Edgar Wright is a comedy genius when it comes to using visual comedy. Here is a video from Tony Zhou that illustrates not only how Edgar Wright's film making excels in using camera and motion to get a laugh, but also how Hollywood has failed in popular comedy movies.

This South Korean revenge film is by far he best I've seen from the genre. It's about a man whose wife is brutally murdered and he goes the extra mile to get back at her killer. This emotionally driven film has some very intense scenes and disturbing imagery that will stay with you for a long time. Definitely a must watch... If you can handle it!
This is a very funny independent film made by Derrick Comedy starring Donald Glover and Aubrey Plaza. It is about three eighteen year old kids who have trouble growing up, but they try to solve a murder in their neighborhood to prove that they are adults. This is a little known movie that I think deserves to be seen by all crude comedy fans.
This is a fantastic documentary that follows middle school science teacher, Steve Weibe, as he attempts to break the world record in Donkey Kong against Billy Mitchell. I feel like this film came across the perfect protagonist and antagonist totally by accident. It's really hard not to root for Steve as he works towards his goal, he's just such a likable person that I had to opportunity to meet at Denver Comic Con one year:
This is by far one of the most entertaining documentaries I have ever seen! A definite must watch!
Requiem for a Dream is one of those few films that take brilliant writing, directing, editing, music, and cinematography and combines them in a way that digs deep into your emotions for an experience you'll never forget. I will not only say this is my favorite film by Darren Aronofsky, but it is one of my favorite films of all time! (Don't do drugs)
I am a huge fan of the Coen Brothers, and with No Country For Old Men they've made one of the most intense thrillers I have ever seen! The antagonist of this movie will give you nightmares with his emotionless speech and disregard for human life. Javier Bardem certainly deserved his Oscar for his performance in this movie. Check it out!
