I strongly, strongly recommend the film There Will Be Blood. Based on Upton Sinclair's Oil, this dark comedy features the funniest bowling alley death scene I have ever seen. And I say this as a fan of The Big Lebowski.
Beyond that, in truly Sinclarian style, There Will Be Blood offers a fascinating critical insight into the collision of religion, early American capitalism and the veins of the Earth.
Three stars up, or whatever.

Oh my god, what a great effing movie. "Are you glad I came into town?"
"Yes"
"Your daddy doesn't hit you anymore, right? No more hitting."
.....little awkward.
The score was great too, it had a big part in the mood of each scene. Way to go Johnny Greenwood! And, now when I think of the Brahms violin concerto I'll think of that flaming derrick.
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!!
