Okay, I'm adding another, soon to be cult-classic comedy: School of Rock!

I kid you not - this movie DID rock. We laughed all the way through. If you're a Jack Black/Tenacious D fan, this is the movie he was born to star in. Really an amazing performance by Black, even if the slightly shabby indie filmmaking isn't quite up to snuff.

I'd go as far as saying this is the perfect kid's/parent's movie. The story centers on Black and his empowerment of the kids, so kids will identify with it, but it never panders to them the way most Hollywood movies do. Old rocker parents will get all the hilarious 60s & 70s arena rock references, which are a hoot. The kids in the film never get too precocious or too smart for their own good, either.

In addition to a hearty "two thumbs up", I'll simply "Raise my goblet of ROCK!" to this movie.
