Once Upon a Time in Mexico... judging by my avatar, everybody who comes to this site should have known this thread was coming (if not, shame on you). Good old, angsty El Mariachi. After seeing OUTIM, I went and rented the first two, and the whole thing's, a blast to watch. Characters that do it for me: El Mariachi and the turtle in the 'El Mariachi', Quentin Tarantino and Cheech Marin's character in 'Desperado', and the Fideo/Lorenzo duo and (of course) the adorably corrupt CIA Agent Sands of OUTIM. I've never met someone who could make eye gouging so incredibly... nonchalant? Ah, the joys of Mexican westerns. Seriously, if nobody's seen any of these movies, at least rent 'El Mariachi'. It's really far too funny to miss, if only for the strange names like Taco, Moco (means 'booger' in Spanish) and Pina (pineapple, not the other one!). Seriously, rent it. Now. Go! Shoo! What are you still standing around reading this for, go rent the bloody trilogy, already!
