Semi-Urgent: Popular Blu-Ray Movies for a Party

Hello everyone!
Tomorrow evening I'm hosting a blu-ray movie session. All we have is Avatar and the Mask. Can anyone suggest any blu-ray movies popular with 'the masses'? I.e. nothing 'deep' or intensely scary (i.e. Human Centipede) please. I think a comedy of some sort would suffice.
I'm thinking something with Jim Carey or Will Smith. Could you guys help me out further?
Edit: Age range 17-19, males and females. Will have time for 2 or 3 movies.

Also, why are you gunning for mediocrity?
If you want mediocrity, I guess Hancock is a good bet.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
Anything by Pixar would be good for the look and the content.
I always got a kick out of Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, altho it can get a little confusing.
and not even sure if it's out yet, but Hot Tub Time Machine, while vulgar, had me laughing endlessly in the theatre.
How to train your dragon is fun for everyone.
I watched Robocop on blu-ray, and it was as sweet as it ever was.
Zombieland is a good, fun, lighthearted movie.
The Princess Bride is on BluRay apparently, and is appreciated by everybody ever. Honestly, you could just buy this movie and rewatch it a couple times through the night and I doubt anybody would mind.

It is quite a find!
Bruce Almighty is great for a wide range of folks and of course has Jim Carrey.
I will second anything from Pixar and Zombieland.

Up
Kung-Fu Panda
The newer Bond movies (meh but good action)
The new Batman movies
Up-vote for Zombieland, it's a comedy-action that will bridge the gap between Avatar and the Mask. Independence day would be my second choice. Welcome to Earf!
Maybe go with something old these teens missed, like Singles or Ferris Bueller or the first Ghostbusters, but it would probably look like ass with the old-time special effects.
I think Singles might not click with a bunch of teenagers. It's more of a "remember being there?" kind of movie.
Also Avatar is going to be a bit much with its length. People might be a little worn out after that one. If you're going to do three movies, keep them at an hour and a half or so in running time each.
I thought it was decent up until the end when Johnny Depp did that dance with the terrible music behind it. That and the music behind the end credits. The contrast between the animation and the actors was a little off too. Good otherwise though and definitely visually spectacular.
The reason I did not recommend Up is because it is a movie that just creates emotional messes. I imagine that "mass-market" 17-19 year old guys will not appreciate crying like a baby in front of their friends.
It is SUCH a good film though.

By far the most amazing blu ray.
For a bunch of teenage boys though?
excepting the Oprah narration, yes.
ain't nothing cooler than nature. nature is badass.

Oprah did Life, and yea she was terrible. Sigourney Weaver did Planet Earth, and yes, terrible too.
The Blu-ray discs, however, have the original David Attenborough narration, so by all means enjoy.
As for the teenage boys part, if you stick to the water ones (deep oceans, shallow seas), absolutely, but the rest is probably better for background at an adult party while the deep political discussion or whatever is going on. Others for teenage boys: Star Trek, Hancock, Dark Knight, Iron Man...

I was watching some of the HD-DVD version and from what I saw, a lot of the underwater bits were in 480p? or standard def or something. They didn't look impressive at all. Maybe I'm wrong though.
As much as my snobby French nouvelle vague loving ass hates to say it, that was a fun movie and The Rock is a pretty charismatic guy. Reminded me of Romancing The Stone a lot.
What did you pick and how did it go!?
Don't leave us wondering?!
also, I'd suggest First Blood
edit: but moreso, I'd suggest seeing if there was a page 2 before replying
