Napoleon Dynamite (SE)

They loaded this up with an extra disc of extras to make it, Like, The Best Special Edition, Ever! Audition clips and documentaries highlight the Jon Heder phenomenon. Seeing him out of character, though, kind of spoils the totally apathetic image...so, watch disc 2 once and then destroy it...or not. There are some cool aspects/features of it that are redeeming, like the documentary on the director, who admits that inspiration for the characters came from his hometown. The best extras might be the Jon Heder appearances and the Idaho State Fair commercial spots. This is definitely a great film that gets better and more classic with repeated viewings.
