World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide, both by Max Brooks. They provide excellent and accurate advice regarding survival [though the disaster is fictional], and are written so matter-of-factly that one almost believes that zombies exist. The stories and accounts in WWZ are just amazing. They offer insight into how disasters affect people worldwide, and how people act accordingly. A definite must-read.

Zombie Survival Guide is in my room and it was honestly a let-down. It takes itself WAY too seriously and the parts that should have been beefed up aren't. The weapons section was too thin for my taste. He also made up a whole bunch of "real zombie instances" which he throws in the back which weren't funny. Seriously, just get a group of your friends together and start talking about how to prepare for a zombie invasion.....you'll have a MUCH better time.

And if you like Yojimbo......check out the rest of Kurosawa's work, he is truly the god of Japanese cinema.

And also Sukiyaki Western Django, by Takashi Miike. It's a take-off on Django, which is a take-off on Fistful of Dollars, which was a take-off of Yojmbo. So, essentially Yojimbo. All the actors speak in English, which at first is jarring because of how bad their accents are, but eventually you kinda forget about it. Quentin Tarantino's part in the first 5 minutes is probably the only part I didn't like.

Shoot 'Em Up. I was expecting a comedy of violence and that's exactly what I got. It's made of hilarious and awesome and win in equal parts.
Ikrik:
The first, second, third, and fourth time I saw Shoot 'Em Up on the big screen I felt like I had just watched the single best movie in the world ever, ever. Clive Owen is truly the new action star of our generation (I hope). Did you guys remember when people were talking about how it was the battle between Vin Diesel and The Rock? However, watching Shoot 'Em Up on the small screen is really dissapointing and the film just seems a lot slower. I'd recommend Children of Men as something to watch over Shoot 'Em Up unless your TV is pretty huge.
