Daft pun:
The Trotsky
The best, well, most entertaining anyway, film I saw at this year's IFFR. The main character is a 17 year old kid who's convinced he's the reincarnation of Leon Trotsky, hilarity ensues.

I don't know if this has already been recommended, because holy crap 14 pages, but;
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
I've liked all of his stuff that I've read, but nothing is as epic as this series. Some of the main ideas in the books are things I was thinking about when I was a little kid.
There's just such a sense of truth about it, and I can really get inside Roland's head.
It's a good series. I hope I have given a good enough reason why I think it is.
Theriandros:
Only recommend that series if you still liked it at the end of Book 7. I've heard the epilogue is pretty polarizing.
Also, "The Dark Tower VIII: Money out of the Asshole" is on it's way.
(No seriously "The Wind Though the Keyhole" is a thing, people)

Coincidentally, I'm about to finish The Dark Tower series for the second time. Good stuff, not quite as amazing as it was the first time I read it, but I still like it.
Speaking of Stephan King: I highly recommened the movie 1408. It's one of my favorite movies, and getting really stoned and watching it last night completely reaffirmed that. For starters, it's actually scary, something most horror movies have not been able to be for the last 15 or 20 years.
Also, it has some of the most amazing cinematography for a horror/thriller movie. They use some of the most ridiculous camera angles (from inside keyholes and refrigerators, for example). The music is fantastic, John Cusack is amazing, Sam Jackson is good, and the dialogue is witty and smooth.
The color pallette is amazing as well, it's an incredibly vibrant and varied-looking movie.

If The Room plays anywhere that is a reasonable drive from where you live, it is totally worth checking out. It's a unique theatrical experience, augmented greatly by an entusiastic audience. Check out the audience participation rituals on the internet, bring lots of plastic spoons, and prepare to have your mind blown.
