James's Favorite Quirky, Offbeat, or Somewhat Deranged Movies

I have a great affinity for the oddball ( or screwball, if you prefer), the somewhat twisted or bent, and the nonconformist attitude when looking for something to entertain me. This is particularly true with movies. Here then is a list of old and recent films that I have found particularly appealing. Most would be called comedies, but a few are anything but. Anyway, take a look, watch a couple if you haven't seen them, and see what I mean. If you don't think some of them are quirky or offbeat, that's okay; you'll know the ones that are deranged.
