Highly subjective, as all these types of lists are.  I'd say I half agree with you most of the time, though I question the placement of some films over others.  SNL will be coming off of one of its best seasons ever, and it's be a shame that so few people know this, thinking that the past few seasons are any indication of quality.  I'd say to point this out, but not if you haven't actually watched it.

And thank you for the "The Man Show" hate.

And if you just put mtv for 1. worst show. You'd have an extra space for 5. tv.

I haven't seen Osama, but a friend of mine saw it and said he was really moved.

Shouldn't League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or Underworld be in there instead?  Or Gigli, A Man Apart, Kangaroo Jack, Dumb & Dumberer?

It seems like you are hating on chick flicks just because you probably don't like the genre.

EDIT:
also for TV shows, Chapelle Show for Best List, where is that?

I have a question: Do people at your high school even know what you
're talking about half the time? Such as with Goodbye, Lenin? Or a lot of the movies/actors on your list.

i doubt it, but i dont care. most people at my school chuckle at the amount of shit i know about movies, which is nothing compared to some of you on here. they're stuck, waiting for "3 Fast, 3 Furious" to come out, or what Vin Diesel will do next....it sucks, but oh well.

Why for you have Sofia Coppola under actresses?  Joke, I hope that is.  My suggestions:

Directors: Sofia Coppola, Peter Jackson (I don't care for his LOTR stuff, but others sure do), Clint Eastwood, Gus Van Sant (so I've heard), Michel Gondry.

Actors - Bill Murray, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Paul Giamatti, Jim Carrey.  Honorable Mention: Djimon Hounsou.

Actresses - Scarlett Johansson, Naomi Watts, Hope Davis, Holly Hunter, Keisha Castle-Hughes.
