Prison Break - Season 1 (TV Series) (2005): A unique premise that will keep you guessing with every episode, PrisonBreak held enough promise on the 1st season alone to carry it through 4 (increasingly implausible and ultimately awful) seasons. Watch the 1st season and pretend that's where it ended
Ricky Gervais - Fame (2007): This is my favourite Gervais stand–up: a stab at celebrity fame and a number of current–world issues (think obesity and AIDs) with classic Gervais cheek (and arrogance).
Ricky Gervais Live (Animals, Politics) (2003-2004): Although not quite as funny as 'Fame', these are two classic stand–ups shows from Gervais that will have you laughing and wondering if you really should be.
Serenity (2005): A feature–length reboot of the single–season TV series Firefly, Whedon takes a bigger budget and crafts a great sci–fi tale complete with action, humour, romance, and conspiracy. If you enjoyed the TV show, or JJ Abrams' Star Trek, check this one out.
Firefly (TV Series) (2002): A funny and mostly original sci–fi series carried by Adam Baldwin as ship captain of Serenity. Highly underrated sole season.
Saving Private Ryan (1998): A stunning WWII action/drama about the futility of war, Saving Private Ryan has some of the most realistic and graphic war sequences ever shot. The Normandy Landing scene in particular was groundbreaking and still holds up to this day.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Quantum Of Solace (2008): Quantum of Solace is a thrilling ride, directly continuing the story from where Casino Royale finished up and refusing to let go or slow pace until the explosive final scenes. This is far less 'Bond' than any Bond film yet, but still an exhilarating rid
Casino Royale (2006): Casino Royale pushes the boundaries of the Bond Series, with a grittier, darker, and newer 007. The result is a brilliant spy/action movie, a great new Bond, and a new direction for future entries. Now how would you like your Martini?
Goldeneye (1996): One of the best Bond films ever, with historical twists, an increasingly dubious sci–fi plot involving satellites, plus a brilliant and very–Bond mixture of tongue–in–cheek humour and OTT action.
Mission: Impossible (1996): A great success in the 1990s, Mission Impossible is already starting to show its age, with action sequences that were once intriguing and original, but have now become standard for the spy genre.
