Indeed there were, at first i felt inclined to limit the KC suggestions to merely his turgid religious ones but then I thought no, I'll display a different sort of cameronian agony.  >:D

You play your games, I play mine. ;)

Actually I do suggest films I like as well, these are merely a continuation of some suggestions from the last list. :)

Also, many of the films I like, Mrba has already seen. :)

I was finally able to access your list (not sure what was happening last time).  Pretty much all the YOU-NEED-TO-SEEs.  But I found a few that I think you should definitely get something out of:

American Teen
American Pop
Borat
The Hurt Locker (if you can find a copy)
And my highest recommendation... Half-Nelson
If you like Half-Nelson, I'd like to recommend (but not necessarily add to this list) the directing duo's follow-up, Sugar.  They're surprisingly consistent in quality).

Btw, I think it's both awesome and hilarious that out of the 10 movies you ranked as 10s, one of them is "A Muppet Christmas Carol".   :D

Ralph Bakshi's American Pop.  I think you may be surprised how good this is.  It's one of those movies that should be forgettable but isn't quite really.  Check it out.

Muppet's Christmas Carol is best Christmas movie ever made.  This is not opinion, this is fact.  Anyone who disagrees is a soulless poopyhead!

Oooh....I'd be surprised, too.   :-\

Definitely have a look....if nothing else you can close your eyes and enjoy the music.

Because I love to give you these sort of challenges:

Left Behind: The Movie
The Miracle of the Cards
Left Behind II: Tribulation Force
Left Behind: World at War    
Fireproof


Ah, what the hell...

The Growing Pains Movie
Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers



Miracle of the Cards and the 2 Growing Pains movies are TV-movies and are inelligible for the Challenge.  The others have been added.  *sigh*

Ok, I revised my list (as you can tell above).  But yeah, American Pop is definitely worth watching imo.  And yeah, DEF some great music in it.

MCC best Christmas movie?  I'm not gonna argue.   ;)

Relaxing Dragon

Wait, I've got a few more (not sure if you've already seen these, I haven't checked your list):

Pontypool
Wristcutters: A Love Story
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (original)
Alien Raiders
Four Rooms

And everyone seems to be including a mean entry, so:

August Underground No, no, scratch that. How about Cheerleader Ninjas instead?

Doctor Who?

Some of mine may cause pain but they are also so stupid they have to be seen.

Battle Warrior starring Tony Jaa
Ben Hur(silent version)
Death Wish 3
Death wish 4
Death Wish 5
Doctor Who and the Daleks
Daleks Invasion Earth:2151
Final fantasy VII Advent Children
Cowboy Bebop the Movie

Wristcutters: A Love Story
Oh man.  I forgot about that movie.  It looked very quirky and unique, but I've been hesitant cuz it might just depress me by the end of it.  GOB as a cult leader is the clincher for me.  I should risk getting depressed just to see that.

All things considered, it's not really depressing. Actually kind of hopeful (though it helps if your tolerance of dark comedies is at a good level). So I wouldn't worry about it.
