Here's a few of my faves for you:
Being John Malkovich
Dead Ringers
Do The Right thing
Fight Club
Magnolia
Memento
Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
Natural Born Killers
Repo Man
Something Wild
Subway
Drowning by Numbers
A Zed and Two Noughts
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
The Belly of an Architect
- in fact most films by Peter Greenaway (great scores by Michael Nyman as well)
Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me
- most David Lynch actually
The Boondock Saints
Hope this helps

Thing about Greenaway films is that you watch them and rejoice in their visual splendour and over time you work out what they mean. Then you hear him interviewed and realise that you have got totally the wrong end of the stick - typical.
Still love them though.tiggers.

I couldnt see any right or wrong end of that crispy stick I cannot help seeing that Mirren actress when I think of that movie... she wasnt in it was she? It was a long time ago.. probably about 15 years ago already.

Went and watched it with a lass from work. We both dressed up for it, her in a shortish skirt, open blouse etc... me in a suit. Stood out like a saw thumb, but was a chuckle.
Re-enacting afterwards was a lot of fun !

I'd not call Irreverible quirky, just damn odd and a little disturbing!
ooh, Dark City, love that film, v good.
Have to agree about David Lync films, usually very odd, like the man himself
Donnie Darko - great film, and if you don't get what Frank the Rabbit is all about then don't worry, quite a few don't
Oh, have to add "Withnail and I"
FORK IT!
We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now.
