Recommend Me Some Deadpool & Green Lantern

For the longest time, I've loved Deadpool as a character, from his appearances in video games to his hilarious supporting role in Hulk Vs. Wolverine. I even liked the brief snippet we got of Ryan Reynolds as him in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, despite how he eventually turned out.
Having never been much of a DC fan aside from Batman, I've always been a Marvel nut. That being said, seeing the WonderCon footage for Green Lantern has instantly shot it to near the top of my list of most anticipated movies for this year.
What do these two thoughts have in common? Simple. I'd appreciate if some of the more versed members of this board could recommend me some great books featuring these characters. What are some of the most seminal Deadpool stories? The wackier and funnier, the better. If I am as enticed by the GL footage as I'm sure many are, what are some great Lantern stories that might be in the same vein or tone as what the film looks to be (my novice guess from just the trailers: Mass Effect with super heroes).

Green Lantern's a little trickier, since it starts with a big continuity quagmire. Still, I'd say to start with Green Lantern: Rebirth, and Green Lantern Corps: Recharge. If you like what you see there, go get Green Lantern Vol. 1 and Green Lantern Corps Vol. 1.

I've heard their working on a Deadpool movie (i'm sure others are more knowledgeable on things of this nature) and I hear it'll be Reynolds playing him again but it'll have nothing to do with the x-men origins which is a good thing. When I saw Reynolds was playing Green Lantern it differently made me want to watch it, hope it's as good as it seems
I have enjoyed it thoroughly.
Is that the one where he uppercuts shadow cat?
There were some laugh out loud moments in that series, particularly the issue where Deadpool time travelled into an old Spider-Man comic (#11, maybe?), but there was also some character development. It got a bit disjointed toward the end of the run when there was a threat of cancellation every few issues, though. (I never much liked the Priest or Simone runs that followed Kelly.)
