So what good films are out at the min on DVD ? I like action and war films and stuff like mafia related films.
I watched Iron Man recently which i thought was very good so i can recommend that.

In Bruges is well worth a watch 
I'm not normally a Colin Farrell fan but thought he was excellent in that
I got Once Upon A Time In The West given to me for Christmas too, that is a film truly deserving of the term Classic

I can recommend two horrors that are a cut above the rest.
Eden Lake - set in Britain, a young couple's idyllic weekend away is turned into a living hell when they have a bad encounter with a group of local teenagers. This is shocking in that it is probably only one step removed from reality.
The Mist - low budget horror that on first appraisal seems to be the usual cheesy horror fare. However, Frank Darabont's (Shawshank Redemption) script lifts the film way above the usual standard. The effects are a bit low rent, but the charaterisation is top notch and the ending is truly astounding!

All I could think while watching it was; If he hadn't been such an arrogant w@nker in the first place, maybe none of it would have happened

What I found uncomfortable about the film was the peripheral undertones that were so true to life in the UK these days such as the 'My kids wouldn't do anything wrong' attitude of the woman in the cafe.
It was very well observed and lol at the car that steals his parking space near the start

Agreed with In Bruges and Eden Lake. Great Films.
If you can get your hands on pre release stuff then Id also recommend
Slumdog Millionaire and Gran Torino as STi says
Defiance
The Day the Earth Stood Still (Got bad reviews but I actually liked it)
Lakeview Terrace (Tackles racism, coming from a black copper to his interracial neighbours)
Eagle Eye
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Righteous Kill
The Boy In Striped Pyjamas (VERY good)
The Crew (British Gangster film)

The one with John Travolta playing the bad guy, I haven't got a clue who the star was but he definitely wasn't Dolph Lundgren
