Ghost World will never make this list. Although I agree, it is a
tad bit bizarre in places. But it's meant to be satirical. And it is. The ending, the 3 minute ending, is the only moment in the movie truly bizarre enough to make the quality of the other entries on the list.

This has:
1. a family that preys on travelers
2. townsfolk that banned Rock & Roll to stop the band from playing, and then realized that they accidentally banned ALL Rock & Roll in their town
3. an 80's Hair Band that gets killed and then brought back to life because one of them found "music to raise the dead" in an old book... When they come out of their graves, they are wearing zombie makeup that makes them look kind of like KISS, and they do the robot...
4. Hitler!
5. A werewolf grandma that stabs her victims
6. two dwarfs, including one who is a pile of disfigured latex.
This was basically the movie shown on the screen during American Drive-In, and the producers decided to finish it and release it as it's own movie.
Sounds familiar. Haven't seen it though. I might have a section later of other Member's Selections for all of your additions. In which, animated movies might make an appearence.

Barbarella (1968, directed by: Roger Vadim -
Night Games,
La Curée)
IMDb plots: In the far future, a highly sexual woman is tasked with finding and stopping the evil Duran-Duran. Along the way she encounters various unusual people.
After an in-flight anti-gravity striptease, Barbarella, a 41st century astronaut, lands on the planet Lythion and sets out to find the evil Durand Durand in the city of Sogo, where a new sin is invented every hour. There, she encounters such objects as the Exessive Machine, a genuine sex organ on which an accomplished artist of the keyboard, in this case, Durand Durand himself, can drive a victim to death by pleasure, a lesbian queen who, in her dream chamber, can make her fantasies take form, and a group of ladies smoking a giant hookah which, via a poor victim struggling in its glass globe, dispenses Essance of Man. You can't help but be impressed by the special effects crew and the various ways that were found to tear off what few clothes our heroine seemed to possess.
The year is 40,000. Peacefully floating around in zero-gravity Barbarella is suddenly interrupted by a call from the President of Earth. A young scientist, Durand Durand, is threatening the ancient universal peace and Barbarella is the chosen one to find him and save the world. During her mission, Barbarella never finds herself in a situation where it isn't possible to lose at least part of her already minimal dressing.
