3. "Project Greenlight" Matt and Ben's filmic boot camp moves to Bravo, as recruits make a horror flick under the tutelage of terror maven Wes Craven.

6. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," Hunter S. Thompson From the once-brilliant mind of the late gonzo great came this drug-soaked chronicle of a lost weekend in Sin City -- a scalding and scabrous look at 1971 America.
