Real Genius with Val Kilmer. Passed over as another stupid 80's teen college movie, it's quite a bit more intelligent than it's bretheren. It's pretty darn funny, too, with loads of geeky pranks and in-jokes.Run through everything by Jeunet; Amelie, Delicatessen, City of Lost Children.
Donnie Darko falls under the weird comedy and science fiction category. Not the best acting and/or plot, but it's different, and fun to watch.
For hard sci-fi, check out some Japaneese animation, or anime, such as Ghost In The Shell, or Appleseed. The second Appleseed movie is a pretty good noir style detective story. Anything by Miyazaki is going to be fantastic.
