Default Need help with movie choice...

So, I'm currently on holiday in Italy, and the hotel we've been staying in has just informed us that the we've been charged for the wireless internet that was supposed to be free.

As a consequence I have decided I am going to steal as much of this bandwidth as possible in retalitation and would like help compiling a list of movies I can spend the next few hours downloading!

So far I have already downloaded Death Race, How to lose friends and Alienate People, and Eagle Eye.

Any other suggestions guys? They don't have to be new releases, just something that is a good watch.

P.S. Already watched Eagle Eye, and it really sucked!

I don't really know what kind of movies you like, but here are some I watched recently and thought were ok:
Wallander (Swedish series of movies with Krister Henriksson and Ola Rapace, there are 13 episodes and they're all great imo)
3:10 to Yuma (western with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale)
Lonely Hearts (with John Travolta and James Gandolfini)

And some old favourites:
Rocky! all of them and the Rambo-movies too
Jurassic Park
Edward Scissorhands
The Boondock Saints
Donnie Brasco
Shawshank Redemption
V for Vendetta
Children of Men
The Prestige
Walk The Line
Fight Club
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch
...

Besides what Nemesis Xero and ALF71BE suggested, I would also recommend Memento and The Usual Suspects.

Thanks for the tips guys. It's hard to think of things you want when under pressure! I owned 3/4 of those on DvD already, but I have downloaded every single one of the ones I didn't!

The Seven Samurai, 50's movie, but still incredibly good. Its 3 hours though.

Drug abuse movies are fun xD
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas is a classic.
Human Traffic was pretty entertaining too, as is Trainspotting.

As fenix pointed out, The Departed, is worth watching, but if you haven't seen this one yet, check the original, Infernal Affairs, first

Fixed, IMHO. Watch Full Metal Alchemist before any of those.

Actually, if this place is charging for internet access that you thought was complimentary, I would highly recommend checking the fine print for bandwidth limitations and fees. You don't want to end up on the wrong end of the stick if you're trying to stick it to them!

Wut? I've watched every anime of them just without the Inu Yasha (wth) before FMA. As the matter of fact, I lost the interest in watching it after I've heard the English dubbing. Not that I watch dubbed animes, but still...

About DBZ and Bleach - Manga >>> Anime. DBZ is much more "polite" in anime and Bleach is just more awesome. And it's further in plot than anime. And shows more details...

Naruto - Shippuuden is mediocre, imo. I got bored after 50th episode.

All good movies:

Zohan, but only if you like that kind of film. And Adam Sandler.
Chuck and Larry
Matrix 1 and 2
LotR 1, 2 and 3, but third movie is long... and last 15 minutes are SLOOOW. Jesus Christ, I always skip that part.
Zorro movies, also those older.
Batman.
Ironman.
the second Hulk movie
Simpsons
The Pink Panther 2006

And a lot more...
