What's your personal favorite George Carlin stand-up DVD? Whenever I hear blips from him I love it, but I've never explored further.

Thanks in advance.
Life Is Worth Losing is my favourite. As you can probably tell from the title, it's by far his darkest set.

I second Lee's recommending the Last Supper. Even if the film drags its knuckles a lot in the 2nd act, the opening and closing scenes are a couple of my favourites ever. Also;

Kind Hearts and Coronets
Very Bad Things
In Bruges
Feast (more of a horror-comedy, but never mind)
Bad Santa (gets a bit sentimental towards the end but, again, never mind)
Cecil B Demented
How To Get Ahead In Advertising
Four Lions

...among other I can't think of at the moment.

Watch Jian Gui, aka the Eye.
