First on the list would have to be Stranger than Fiction. A solitary, socially awkward man finds his orderly life is turned upside down when he begins to hear a voice narrating the events of his day. Another winner is Matchstick Men. A con man with severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is... okay, wait. About a Boy: a rich and shallow man lives out a painfully empty life until he's shadowed by a boy who's mother keeps attempting suicide.... hmm. Alright, apparently I identify with movies that involve obsessiveness, social awkwardness and pain and hopelessness. Perhaps I don't have a sense of humor. Or maybe pain is funny. That, my friends, would make me hilarious.

I sailed! I'm a sailor! hah hah! i just let the boat do all the work.
That's a great list of movies/shows! I love all of them, except the ones I haven't seen yet (but all of which I've heard are great):
* Little Miss Sunshine
* Lars and the Real Girl
* The Truman Show
* Waking Ned Devine
* Rushmore
* Music & Lyrics
* Hudsucker Proxy -- okay, I have seen this but it was when I was, like, 8 so I don't really remember much beyond hula-hoops and straws.
My favorite movie on that list is probably About A Boy. Classic.

I absolutely love 'What About Bob!'
