We recently saw Little Miss Sunshine, also great.

I'd just like to second Carl's endorsement of "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle," a real gem of a comedy. I enjoyed Borat immensely, but Borat himself is just a schtick, not a genuine character, so the movie wasn't altogether satifying as a story about a person. (Granted, the schtick is hilarious.)
I wonder if anyone on the list caught Bobcat Goldthwait's "Sleeping Dogs Lie," which got pretty good reviews but had only a brief, and surely unprofitable, run here in New York. I saw it in an almost empty theater, which is a shame because it's smart, funny and sweet-- not what you'd expect from Godthwaith if all you know is his annoying hyperactive standup persona. (His "Shakes the Clown" is a personal favorite of mine; it is, as the video box says, "The Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies".)
