Religulous - Probably not the most objective or sincere documentary out there but still, any doc. that manages to be funny & shocking at the exact same time deserves praise.

Happy-Go-Lucky - Nice feelgood movie. To my own surprise, I was never annoyed by the main character(s). A bit long though.

What do you mean by shocking? The stuff that Bill Maher shows is shocking or Bill Maher is being shocking in his attitude? I would agree with the former but not the later :)

I really enjoyed the film, its a lot of same old stuff and one of the issues that a lot of the critics had with the film was that it would be preaching to converted and any religious people watching would just ignore what was being said about there faith. Still a good film, typical larry david road movie!

The stuff that he shows & what people say (or think) obviously. I didn't always like Bill's behaviour (continuously interfering, always making the same point, ...), but I wouldn't call it shocking.

Have the following lined up for the weekend:
She's Out of My League
Infernal Affairs


Buck, how's A Clockwork Orange?
Clockwork Orange is really good, but for some people it might be difficult to watch. Also, keep in mind that it's an old movie, so pretty dated.
It may require repeat viewing as well. I remember when I first watched it, I wasn't exactly blown away, thought it had too many lame moments. I felt completely different after a 2nd viewing.

If nothing else, you're bound to like certain scenes, if only for the influence they had on more recent film & tv.
