Super good favs....however.....you are missing The Usual Suspects and of course....Pulp Fiction lol

I agree with Andrew. The Usual Suspects should be in there. By the way, "WTF" is not a genre. Oh wait, never mind, I remember seeing the award for best WTF movie at the Academy Awards last year around the same time they introduced the award for best supporting midget actor/actress.
