comedy: Super Troopers. My friend reccomended it to me. I figured he just thought it was funny cos he watched it high, but I laughed my ass off (sober)

sorry, it's only one.

I'll just do one each, and hopefully it'll help you next time you go:

comedy-The Big Lebowski
action/(comedy) -The Big Hit
Drama-The Mothman Prophecies
Cult-Donnie Darko

A little late, but oh well:

Comedy - Snatch (Guy Richie I know, but it actually isn't bad)
Action - The Professional (Not the most action packed movie, but a good one)
Drama - 187 (Samuel L. Jackson. what else needs to be said?)
Favorite - The Silence of the Lambs / Taxi Driver (Get them if you haven't seen them)

Hard to go wrong with any of those.

Snatch or Lock Stock 2 Smoking Barrels could qualify as Comedy/Action or cult

Justin To Kelly is funny in the way that pretty rich people puking all over the place is funny. Not so much for itself as it is the image portrayed...

The most important thing I can tell you is don't go to Blockbuster.
Go here ----->http://www.netflix.com/Default

My experience with Blockbuster is not good. They have one freakin copy of Donnie Darko but can dedicate a whole wall to Maid in Manhattan? Give me a freakin break. Blockbuster is the McDonald's of video rental. I'm sorry for venting but I'm a movie freak and Blockbuster doesn't cater to my tastes.
