what are some good/interesting found footage movies?? 
here is a top 20 list compiled from internet--
i don't agree with it per se
offered just to get discussion started
(have not seen all of them myself)
cannibal holocaust had a couple of scenes but was pretty corny
paranormal activities have been discussed to death
as well as blair witch
let me mention a couple of lesser known ones (#18 and #20)
The Tunnel had a more logical premise - why do people always keep filming?
An investigation into a government cover-up leads to a network of abandoned train tunnels deep beneath the heart of Sydney. As a journalist and her crew hunt for the story it quickly becomes clear the story is hunting them.
i struggled to finish The Bay - tedious
Chaos breaks out in a small Maryland town after an ecological disaster occurs.
not on the list is Urban Explorer a/k/a The Depraved - i think it should be amongst top 20 (and it has girl from fast & furious tokyo drift)
Anxious to explore the mysterious hidden world under metropolitan Berlin, an international group of four urban explorers hires a local guide, Kris, who leads them into the maze of escape tunnels and subterranean fortifications under the city.
and i just saw another called Severed Footage - not very original but well-executed
Twelve severed feet in running shoes found on the shores of Western Canada have baffled Police. A videotape is leaked anonymously from the authorities. This paranormal thriller may solve the mystery of the severed feet.
does anyone else like found footage movies??
and any recommendations which to watch and which to avoid??

Blair Witch will always be a Favorite of mine.
