Eagle vs. Shark - Cutesy indie comedy. Stars Jemaine Clements who is a total jerk. People liken it to Napoleon Dynamite, but I think it is much better. Still awkward, just better.

It is very similar to Napoleon Dynamite in that Jemaine Clement's character has the same awkward personality as Jon Heder's.  It's different (and better, IMO) in correctly portraying that awkwardness not as endearingly quirky, but annoying and horrible.

Gigantic - riyl Zoey Deschanel, John Goodman playing a smartass, seemingly random moments of violence involving the main character and a psychopathic homeless Zach Galifianakis, main characters who take shrooms and go on spirit walks with their family, and Chinese baby adoptions.

The Room is certainly an "or indie" film.

Any movie that zooey deschanel has done lately seems to be a pretty indie comedy.

Gigantic

The Grocer's Son

Visioneers


Mumblecore can be okay. If you like mumblecore you might like these:

The Puffy Chair

Hannah Takes the Stairs

Fuck. Yes. Those guys also get enormous respect for basically bringing Jan and Eva Svankmajer's work to UK audiences.

Much love to more crazy surrealist animators if anyone has any suggestions.

One I finished watching not long ago with my girlfriend is Waking Life. Lucid dreaming and philiosphiocal talkings? Oh shit yes. Also might as well mention A Scanner Darkly as well.
