Might as well pitch in the old punch a hole in the top thing.
I pop a hole in the top of the filter with a screw driver and a hammer and let the venting drain more oil out of the filter before I loosen it.
The technique IDoug describes with the hole in top works really well at both getting the filter off easily, as well as reducing the torrent of used oil that sometimes comes out as you tilt the little bastards off.
