Colin Farrell is fantastic in these strange or absurd "sitcom" type of movies. Banshees, In Bruges, The Lobster, Seven Psycopaths.

I would say stay clear of Death Proof and Grindhouse. I am not sure I actually ever saw Grindhouse, but I know it is supposed to be in the same style as Death Proof and whilst I admire his love of cinema and his ambition it is not particularly good and also completely removed from all his other movies.

Pinchcliffe Grand Prix or as Norwegians call it Flåklypa Grand Prix. It is an absolutely brilliant stop motion movie about a bicycle repairman and inventor who gets hired by an Arab oil sheikh to make a car and win the local Formula 1 style grand prix race. It is THE prototypical Norwegian movie. I have heard many foreigners say it translates well even though some of the humor and content might get lost if you are not from Norway. It was released in 1975 and to this day remains the BY A LANDSLIDE most visited movie in Norwegian history. It sold 3.5 million tickets. In 1975 we had 4 million inhabitants. Second on the list was released in 1962 and sold 1.6 million tickets.
