Century optics makes a really nice fisheye, referred to as the baby death that is widely used by skateboarders and sports people. I costs about $300 though
What are you gonna use it for? Because of the big destortion it's not gonna be useful for your holiday snaps and stuff. The effect can be great, but only in certain situations. So it would be a matter of comparing the costs to the use.
If you're gonna use it sporadic, you might be better of using some filter in PS for example, and use the money saved for example another high-quality lens.

Oops, my bad... I thought you where talking about photography. But it is filming you're talking about. Would be kind of cumbersom to edit your movie in PS 🙄
Yeah, a fisheye lens would be nice for such shots, but not all the time I think, mainly for some short effects clips.

What kind of camera do you have? There are lots of handycams...and I don't think you can put a fisheye lense on it...

We are going to need more details about your camera before we can help you get a fisheye (he really means a VERY wide angle lens).
the century would be your best bet, depending on the thread size. the century is 37mm, or if you want something a bit cheaper, kenko makes a .43x fisheye that is great for the proce. the kenko is about 50 bucks.
