Buffalo '66 (1998)
Actor/director/everything else Vincent Gallo gives his hometown of Buffalo, New York the art-house treatment with his winsome, wonderfully weird film. Fresh out of prison, he kidnaps (and subsequently falls in love with) Christina Ricci, talks about cars, bowls, gets annoyed at his parents (a singing Ben Gazzara and a hilarious Anjelica Huston), oh, and plans revenge against the football placekicker whose missed field goal inadvertently ruined his life (Buffalo Bills fans are nodding in solemn agreement). See, it's a football film!
