Gentlemen Broncos (2009)
Weird, quirky little comedy. While it definitely imitates the midwest slack-jawed, deadpan humor of Napoleon Dynamite at times, which was a little distracting, but with great characters and great actors and a fantastically bizarre and hilarious parallel pulp scifi story, this turned out to be a really fun movie to watch. I think that if you were ever a fan of scifi pulp novels, you'll like it especially (my boyfriend was and he did).
Not a perfect movie and I do think that it ran a little long, but I really enjoyed it.
Recommended, especially if you're looking for a quirky character piece with a bizarre scifi pulp edge.
3.5/5.

Night of the Comet (1984)
This has got to be one of my absolute favorite post-apocalyptic horror movies. I love the humor, I love the fact that you have one seriously badass female lead (played by the gorgeous Catherine Mary Stewart).
If you're a horror fan and haven't seen this movie yet, you really need to.
4/5.

Hot Fuzz (2007)
I absolutely love this Simon Pegg/Nick Frost homage to the buddy cop genre. Just as with Shaun of the Dead, I think that this was excellent directed, written, and acted. It's hilarious, smart, and also had some really great action sequences. Definitely a movie I can watch over and over again... And have.
One of my absolute favorites.
4.5/5.

Bagdad Cafe (1987)
Wonderfully weird and charming character piece. I had seen it YEARS ago and didn't really remember much of it other than that I liked it. Glad I watched it again - Cute, odd, little movie about love, friendship, magic, and a roadside cafe.
3/5.
