Battle Royale. I agree, it's stupidly fantastic. Much better than it sounds, too.

My friends think that I am just trying to suck up to the women we hang out with that were offended by it, but I thought it really sucked. As a matter of fact the deleted scenes were about the only things that I laughed out from the entire DVD. Thumbs way down. (2/10)

I'd give Borat an 8. If I were going to judge it on the actual jokes and sketches and things, it would be about a 5 - I laughed, but it's not exactly comedic gold. To me, the actual jokes and stupid things that he gets people to say is funny and all, but that's not what makes it such a good movie IMO. I enjoyed it more because it was pretty brilliant satire that was trying to make a point that has much less to do with poo-joke humour than it seems. That he can make a movie like that and still get tons of people rolling in the aisles and not caring about the real issues it's highlighting, well that takes some talent IMO.
