Anyone saw 2005's brit cult classic The Descent?
6 female cave explorers plummet down a cave but they themselves turn out scarier than the flesh eating monsters nestled 2 miles down. Great stuff.
People wait in years for a dreadful, vigorous film like that, would've been a good experience watching it on big screen.

Three Kings - One of the best shows ever..Bring Ice Cube and Clooney together, and you'll have dark humour at its best...
Half Baked - One of the first movies about weed..good movie...
Idiocracy - Directed by the best in this genre...This Mike Judge's movie is about this guy being the smartest in the universe after being cyrogenically frozen throughout a nuclear war.
Zelig - good movie about woody allen being a human chameleon...

I can't even hear the term cult film without thinking about the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Three Kings = Kickass! the milk spill on the ground scene is totally
Half Baked is quite a weak movie, is not that funny, but is Dave Chapelle...he just cracks me up.

City of God.

Just finished Dog Soldiers, Neil Marshall's brit horror debut.
Ripping the conventions of the werewolf genre to shreds, "Dog Soldiers" trades shock horror for gross out humour and the result - full of bloody entrails, jokes about Little Red Riding Hood and references to classic genre movies like "Wolfen" - is a rip-roaring comedy action fest that'll put hairs on your chest.
When a British Army platoon led by Wells (Pertwee) stumbles across a stack of bloody bodies (the remains of a top-secret special services unit) out in the middle of the Scottish Highlands, it's obvious that there's something very strange going on. Their suspicions are confirmed when they find a civilian zoologist wandering through the woods looking for evidence of some very shaggy beasts. Before they have a chance to say "silver bullets", the platoon's holed up in an abandoned farm house fighting off a bunch of attackers who all look like they need a good short back 'n' sides.
Wisely deciding to keep the creatures hidden for as long as possible (perhaps because they all bear an uncanny resemblance to Peter Stringfellow), director Neil Marshall ratchets up the tension nicely, but decides ultimately to shoot for outrageous comedy, playing up the script's deliriously silly elements and throwing ketchup all over the screen.
As the perfect Friday night movie, "Dog Soldiers" is full of boisterous energy, some really disgusting moments (Pertwee's cry of "sausages!" is unforgettable), and some clever-clever genre in-jokes. Clearly low budget British horror is alive and well - if a little sick.

Severance was pretty good as well.

I'm giving this a go, officially hooked on horror shows. Read the reviews and it looks pretty good.
Between City of Gods and Lower City, the latter has my vote.
For crime/suspense, I enjoyed The Big Lebowski and Stranger Than Fiction.
