Give me some ideas on what to get. I'm looking for good movies; not just visual effects and whatnot. This is for a college aged audience.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is very hilarious

But it's very tame, so I'm not sure if a horny college aged audience would like ...

If the audience isn't horny ... it's very good

Shaolin Soccer
Kung Fu Hustle (It's not out on DVD - well, I bet you can find a HK resgion-5 copy of it)

This is a little older, but Legend of Drunken Master and Drunken Master is always good.
As far as US action coedies go, none come to mind.

Anchorman! was Friggin HILLARIOUS. It was filled to the brim with great one liners.

Cradle 2 the Grave was pretty exciting. I like the "Once Upon a Time in China" series a lot more, however, that's like 20 years old or so, where as Cradle to the grave is from 2003. (Kiss of the Dragon is better then Cradle 2 the Grave IMO, though it's 4 years old)

Hero was quite good too, though the Trimmed down shortened American version was somewhat of a disappointment. The movie was supposed to be a grand epic, and holywood had to go and shorten it ...blah

I thought the Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremecy were both good movies ... at the very least, they were damn cool.

Then there's always Team America: World Police. I thought it was VERY amusing.

Also, How about Death to Smoochy....

I know this is older then the last 2 to 3 years, and it's not really action or Drama, but IMO, it's the best movie since The Outlaw Josey Wals ... so I have to say it here ..... Requiem for a Dream

Definitely, DEFINITELY funniest movie of all time.

Ummm...real fundie religious types would probably turn to stone watching it - it IS the South Park guys, after all, and it can be pretty damn offensive. In a ridiculously funny way. But, ya know...
