Most of my reccomendations have been mentioned, but I personally would reccoment "Looking for eric" - I rather enjoyed it myself.

Also, anything and everything from the wallace & gromit series of movies.

It'll be a miniseries on HBO, not sure of the air date. And no, I've had this handle (or some variant thereof) for decades. Only first read Game of Thrones a couple months ago.

So is the Game of Thrones thing the same as A Song of Ice and Fire? I've been stupid excited about that since I heard about it. I've never read any of the books and don't know a thing about them... But HBO is doing fantasy!

Thats one step away from HBO doing sci-fi.

How bout a comedy.

Galaxy Quest
The entire cast works well with each other.  An obvious parody of Star Trek that is actually very well done.
Tim Allen                                - Kirk
Sigourney Weaver                    - Uhura
Tony Shalhoub                        - Scottie
Alan Rickman                           - Spock
Sam Rockwell                          - Red Shirt
Daryl Mitchell                          - Wesley Crusher/Sulu

Rainne Wilson makes a couple cameo appearances too.  The villain voiced Zaeed in ME2.

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

Since we seem a bit short on comedies, I nominate the following:

Shaolin Soccer: Silly, funny, heartwarming

Beverly Hills Ninja: Funny "idiot succeeds in spite of himself" ninja movie

Kickass Funny/Action, a bit bloody, coolest little girl of all time

The Incredibles Superhero parody

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure: Classic 80's comedy

Shaun of the Dead British parody of zombie movies

I'd like to recommend Minority Report as well, for being one of the most interesting sci-fi films I've ever seen. It's also refreshing for the fact that it's an action movie in which the lead character doesn't kill half the world for a change.

From comedies Hot Rod is very good, also 40 year old virgin, and almost anything from Jack Black
From drama i would reccomend K-Pax an excelent movie that does plenty of mindscrewing.
From others i would also say District 9, Alluda Mazaaka(totally this, a 1995 telugu film where the main charachter is so badass Chuck Norris looks like a pink dress in comparison), Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy as a great comedy, Mega shark vs Giant Octopus for the ultimate in trash monster movies.
