Cranium is kinda fun, you usually need 4-6 people though as u play teams. Also Battle of the Sexes is quite funny, women answer questions men would usually know and vice cersa
I really enjoy the Scene It! games. We recently played "Scene It Squabble", where it's men vs. women, kinda like Jako described above. This deals with movies, tv, etc. that is geared towards women or men. However, you have to answer the opposite sex.
Also, Trivial Pursuit is fun, as is monopoly and life, as mentioned previously.
And now, here it is...your moment of Carlin (12/3/2008)
Violent American movies like Die Hard, Terminator, and Lethal Weapon do very well in places like Canada, Japan, and Europe. Very well. Yet these countries do not have nearly the violence of the United States. In 1989, in all of Japan, with a population of 150 million, there were 754 murders. In New York City that year, with a population of only 7.5 million, there were 2,300. It's bred in the bone. Movies and television don't make you violent; all they do is channel the violence more creatively.
