Or, you could go the geeky high schooler route, and choose such classics as: Monty Python, Bill and Ted, Ferris Beuller...

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Forest Gump is pretty decent on a boring afternoon.

The game rental place a block or so away rents movies for a dollar a night.  I proceeded to get at least one every night for a month.

The ones I remember liking off the top of my head, in rough order of how much I liked them:

Scott Pilgrim VS the World (Orders of magnitude above the rest.  Bought it, watched it every night for 5 days, in addition to all the commentary and trivia tracks.  Getting the comic and game soon.)
Inception (twice)
The Social Network (twice)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (would have watched twice if it were a tiny bit shorter)
The Green Mile
Rome: The series
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Taken
Apollo 13
Wyatt Earp
Gran Torino
A Few Good Men
RocknRolla
Wanted

Diso Faintpuzzles was born in 120.  Although accounts vary it is universally agreed that Diso was chosen by fate as the vanguard of destiny.

In the early spring of 143 Diso began wandering the wilds.

In the early spring of 143 Diso starved to death in the Horn of Striking.

For a small army of friends, Sucker Punch will probably work pretty well.
Is Sucker Punch out on DVD yet? I don't actually know (not that legally released dvd's are completely unknown here or anything).
THIS

But anyways

Action
See above

Romantic comedy
Girl next door - 20ish year old Guy meets girl, they're instantly smitten with each other however she happens to be a porn star and when she tries to leave the job her producer goes apeshit at the dude and fucks everything up

Comedy
Monty Python and the life of Brian - Guy gets mistaken for jesus and is eventually hanged because of it whilst trying to convince fanatic followers he is not in fact, jesus

I'd test your luck for some Red Dwarf or Black Adder episodes/movies; that shit is fucking hilarious.
Hayao Miyazaki (?) anime is also pretty fun and not too hardcore, namely "Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind" or, "Princess Mononoke".
The Bourne Identity and sequels are entertaining and action-packed as hell.

There are probably a few more bouncing around in my braincage, but it's getting real late...

I second Red Dwarf, and in lesser extent Black Adder.

Me and my friends recently had a great time watching 'You don't mess with the Zohan'. But it's kind of risky, as it is a very specific type of humor. I can't put a name on it, sorry :p

If your hanging out with dudes you could also go the classic guy movie route. Some Rocky, Predator and the like.

Also, as some dude stated above. Watch Rome (The TV series) It's awesome.

 I can barely remember any movies at all, despite having far too many viewings with my parents, but Bicentenial Man and What Dreams May Come seem to stick out as having very little corruption (i.e. I did not have to spend all my dreams the next night cleaning up, only some waking minutes). I second Spirited Away, and the other primary Miyazaki movies, for individual moments, but I find the arching plot distorted there.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Ultimate zombie movie: Peter Jackson's Brain Dead (AKA Dead Alive on international DVD version)

That movie is hilarious, and one of the grossest things ever.

I will still stand by 28 days later as the best zombie movie ever. Also, OP, would there be any chance of a LAN party? I would prefer that over a movie, so yeah. . . .
