6. Napoleon Dynamite

It's awkward, it's off-beat, it's endearing... it's Napoleon Dynamite! The cult classic behind "Vote for Pedro" and the absolute strangest way to store tater tots still holds up. Follow Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) as he navigates a high school presidential election, relationships, and the arrival of his intense Uncle Rico (Jon Gries). Every interaction is loaded with meteoric amounts of quirk sure to get you laughing. Heder's performance is deadpan in all the right ways, and the big dance scene where he cuts loose to Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" is a phenomenal climax to this oddball flick. * — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter
