Is satire really quirky?

Napoleon is extremely quirky.....insanely dry and numbing.

Mel Brooks' style....not so much imo.

I think Office Space qualifies as quirky.

I think a lot of people are just listing their favorite comedies.

Dr. Strangelove
Galaxy Quest
Top Secret

:thumbsup: I love that movie.

Also, 'Blades of Glory' is hilarious. Can't believe nobody has mentioned 'Groundhog Day' yet. :whiste:

'Zombieland' gets an honorable mention here too as does 'Shaun of the Dead.'

Yeah, I don't think some people here really understand the term quirky.

Punch Drunk Love is a brilliant quirky movie. Sandler's other comedies are not quirky.

I think every person has a little different definition of quirky. I had a hard time finding a word for the kinds of movies I was looking for and settled on quirky. You guys are listing exactly what I was looking for.

Now if we figure in some 80's B movies....even better!

The Hobbit.
The more I think about it, the more it's a brilliant LotR parody. Mostly by doing what LotR does, but without there being actual content thrown in.

Oh and the Life Aquatic.

Anything with Arnold Schwarzenegger, except possibly the original Terminator, because he didn't have much a speaking role there. And I'm not even talking about the mid-life-crisis movies that tried to be funny too hard.

Ever watch Mystery Science Theater 3000? I really need to get these on DVD.

Well okay then: Raising Arizona

The Man With Two Brains.
Buckaroo Banzai
Idiocracy
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels


(Still not sure how Wes Anderson and Mel Brooks fit under the same definition of 'quirky,' but whatever.)

Hell yes.

I need to get back to collecting Troma movies. I started and never really got too far. I wonder if they are available for download instead of DVD?

Another vote here for Buckaroo Banzai. So much hilarious weirdness in that movie if you look for it.

Balls of Fury!

I've also heard/seen wonderfully awful things about the 2006 version of The Wicker Man with Nic Cage.

You can find a lot of Troma on Netflix streaming.

I don't get it though...never could figure out what people liked with those.
