Favorite Quirky Movies

<p>Many I enjoy have been mentioned, but I’ll add:</p>

<p>King of Hearts
Office Space
Bull Durham
Saving Grace
Caddyshack
Dodgeball (yes, really)</p>

<p>Someone listed Napoleon Dynamite and asked “is it quirky”? It might actually corner the market.</p>

<p>I would agree that Napoleon Dynamite is quirky, however I hated it. :)</p>

<p>Doc Savage, Man of Bronze
Buckaroo Banzai
Eraserhead (warning: very creepy)
The “Trinity” Italian Western comedies
Jacques Tati’s “Mr. Hulot” films
Dune (the first theatrical version, not the one modifiied to make it possible to understand)
THX-1138</p>

<p>I really liked TiMER on Netflix. A little different twist on a romantic comedy. Lots of great suggestions on this thread.</p>

<p>Shaolin Soccer</p>

<p>The mention of Buckaroo Banzai reminded me of Earth Girls Are Easy…another older movie with Jeff Goldblum that is also light, silly, and fun.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Eat Drink Man Woman
The Wedding Banquet
Chocolat (Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche for eye candy for all :slight_smile: )
Who is Killing The Great Chefs of Europe?
Ratatouille
Julie and Julia
Nora’s Will </p>

<p>I just saw “Big Night”, which I found underwhelming except for that dinner scene. And the making of the timpano.</p>

<p>Oh how I love Julie Brown’s solo singing scene in ‘Earth Girls Are Easy.’ Shaking her…er…um pom-poms to the tune of “Cause I’m a blonde.” In a role full of hilarity, her funniest line is “I’m a sophomore in my 5th year at UCLA.”</p>

<p>

That song also contains the line, “Thank you for naming me Miss January–it’s an honor I’ll remember as long as I can.”</p>
