Lars and the Real Girl is very funny. I read The Milagro Beanfield War but didn't know there was a movie. If you liked Lars, you'll like a couple of similar movies Troll Hunter and Rare Exports, both with that very funny subtle Scandinavian sense of humor. And there's a Canadian one I seldom hear about which was a very funny comment on modern society, called The Decline of the American Empire.
I agree with Dark Star; I liked it so much I bought it.
Okay, I've got one that rates high on the tomatometer and other ratings, and that I enjoyed quite a bit. (despite the "bad astronomy")
Ok I have thought it over and remember a movie I saw on tv. It is called The High Country with Timothy Bottoms and Linda Purl. It was made in 1981 in Canada. He is an escaped convict, the car he is traveling in is in an accident, and she is a mentally challanged young lady that he ends up with. They escape to the high country so he can get away, of course he takes her hostage but learns more than he bargained for from her, It is one of my favorite movies ever. She is clearly a simple person but thats what makes her so beautiful. Good luck finding it. It truly is one that no one has heard of that is so fantastastic! Tell me if you have.
