For big budget: Ultraviolet.
Complete crap movie. The plot was ridiculous and cliched. The acting was pretty much non-existant. There were only two things going for it: Milla and the special effects. Now of course Milla is hot and that the sole reason she's there because she can't really act. The special effects were pretty cool until you thought about them. For example: the bad guys' armor. It's body armor that shatters like glass/ice when hit with a stick. Sure, it looks cool as hell in slow motion, but I can only suspend my disbelief so far and shattering body armor is beyond my abilities.
For low budget: Dead and Deader.
The cover looked alright and hell, it's zombies! I didn't really note that it was Dean Cain starring otherwise I would have passed on it. I think I made it about 15 minutes at most into the movie before shutting it off. I actually made it all the way through House of the Dead so that should give at least some idea of the "quality" of Dead and Deader.

Donny Darko. Good movie, but I think it was given more credit as a movie because of it's soundtrack. It's a great soundtrack. Very nostalgic for many people and the timing of certain songs is just amazing. I think too many people also tried to find some deeper meaning in the movie. It's a pretty basic sci-fi kind of movie. I really didn't think it was the intense philosophical movie that many people tried to make it out to be. For some you would think the movie was like the second coming of Christ or something. People actually went on and on about how it changed their lives. Yeah... Ok...
