Favorite Quirky Movies

<p>I’m almost reluctant to admit it, but (not knowing the quirky content) DH and my first date was “Harold and Maude”. Strange but sweet.
So are we, 35 years later.</p>

22

<p>I like Smoke with Harvey Keitel, William Hurt…</p>

<p>One of the best endings of a movie ever.</p>

<p>Where’s Poppy?
Being There
Fargo
A mighty wind</p>

24

<p>Oh yes, Fargo (on my 10 best list). Another popular but quirky one: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.</p>

25

<p>This Is Spinal Tap
O Brother Where Art Thou
*Napoleon Dynamite <a href=“is%20it%20quirky?”>/I</a></p>

<p>Does quirky include non-funny? Anyway, these are unusual:
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Fanny and Alexander</p>

26

<p>This one hasn’t been mentioned-
Junebug …</p>

27

<p>Hugcheck, just added many suggestions to my new Netflix queue-
apparently you consider docus - in the “quirky” category.</p>

<p>Pressure Cooker- about Philly high school students competing for scholarships to culinary academies- Wilma Stephenson is their “boot camp” type teacher- you won’t forget her!
Man on Wire- memorable, astounding</p>

<p>The September Issue- fascinating inside look at the publishing/ fashion world
Exit Through the Gift Shop- thought provoking</p>

<p>Joan Rivers-A Piece of Work- not a big fan of her humor, but you will never look at this 75 year old the same again</p>

28

<p>Yes, SJCM - I do consider many docu’s to be quirky. Didn’t actually realize there was an actual Netflix category called quirky, lol! </p>

<p>Lots of great suggestions here folks, thanks mucho. We watched Cyrus (Starbirght mentioned this one). Definitely quirky and worth a watch! </p>

<p>Watched the Joan Rivers biography recently, too - wow what an eye opener, huh?</p>

<p>Updating my Netflix que now folks - thanks!</p>

<p>I almost forgot.</p>

<p>**Fandango <a href=“with%20an%20unknown%20Kevin%20Costner”>/b</a></p>

<p>[Skydiving</a> Scene Part 2](<a href=“Fandango Skydiving Scene, Pt. 2 - YouTube”>Fandango Skydiving Scene, Pt. 2 - YouTube)</p>

33

<p>ANY Christopher Guest movie
Raising Arizona
Zelig (my favorite Woody Allen movie)
Modern Problems
A Shock to the System (LOVE the Michael Caine character in this one)
The Girl Most Likely To (with Stockard Channing)</p>

<p>The last two are pretty much the character taking revenge on everyone that has wronged them in the past. The methods are pretty quirky and sometimes hilarious!</p>

34

<p>Unmistaken child; The Cave of the Yellow Dog; The Secret of Roan Innish</p>

35

<p>Lots that I like already mentioned…
“Big Trouble in Little China” - a romp that’s fun to watch with your high school kids too.</p>

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure</p>

37

<p>LOL Atomom. Something so wonderful about Pee Wee Herman! </p>

<p>A couple more:</p>

<p>The Beautiful Truth
The Gerson Miracle</p>

<p>(Yeah, I do like nonfiction in both books and movies…)</p>
