Hey, looking to get into some quirky comedy-drama movies in the vein of The Squid and the Whale, Life Aquatic, Rushmore, Adaptation, Amelie, Art School Confidential, Ghost World. Stuff like that. Things that are a little artsy-fartsy but funny regardless. Thanks in advance.

Punch-Drunk Love

It's debatable, but both Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Garden State come to mind.

I'm amazed Teej didn't mention Secretary, as it's an odd romantic comedy with a few well done dramatic bits and Maggie Gyllenhaal giving an ace performance.

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Secretary is just pure .

I forgot of Secretary. I do recommend it highly.

Also recommended is The Suicide King.

Would something like American Psycho apply here? It's pretty much the definition of "dark comedy".

It's definitely dark-comedy, but I wouldn't consider it to be like the arthouse movies that have been mentioned like Secretary, Ghost World or Rushmore.

Lost In Translation.

I'd suggest Fargo.
