3 movies pop into mind (and I'm not saying they're bad) :

The Fountain
The Science of Sleep
Mulholland Drive

Hated The Fountain. Liked the other two.

Quoted from Ryan1
Jacob's Ladder was actually an Adrian Lyne film.


Indeed it was. I've lost my mind recently, and I've yet to find it. I'm currently carrying a roll of Smarties that I could swear were SweetTarts when I picked them up. Oh well.

Noticed someone mentioned Mulholland Drive. Yeah, that's a bizarre one as well. As a matter of fact, most of David Lynch's stuff is pretty odd.

Strange movies, huh…not really my department. The one that springs to mind to me is Being John Malkovich, but a definite mention to Jacob’s Ladder as well.

...surprised no-one's mentioned Cronenberg's Naked Lunch (and it's typewriter-cockroach...)

Just sayin'.

Haha. From an entertainment point of view, it just didn't work for me. Love Aronofsky's other work (Black Swan, The Wrestler, Requiem).

Oh well.

Yes. This.

Also, if it counts, then The Prestige. Awesome, but... not sure it's a film at all. Did my nut in right to the CGI-ed Tesla machine, then blew my mind.

The Holy Mountain.

Any of Jodorowsky work that I’ve seen will challenge your weirdness threshold!

Inland Empire is particularly strange even for the great Lynch.

Mulholland Dr. is his masterpiece in my opinion and does make sense if you know his intentions. Check out the F.A.Q on IMDb, it has the most logical explanation I've come across. It doesn't explain everything but gives you a intriguing insight.

Just watched Enter the Void and I dug it.  It was strangely both disquieting and comforting at the same time.   I thought the ending was a bit on the corny side, however it was exactly the ending the film needed.

I'd certainly think that a telekinetic car tire would fit the bill...

I really freakin' dug Rubber. Obnoxious as all hell, but it knew what it was doing, and felt very sure of itself. Plus, it was just damn good-lookin' indie filmmaking.

The odd thing about Rubber, too, is that even though it is very evidently weird, it's so internally coherent that it doesn't really feel weird while you're watching it...at least not in the way that Lynch or Jodorowsky might. Not that I don't think those guys aren't coherent in their own way -- just that their wavelengths aren't quite as easy to get on. For me, anyway.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.

Seriously, it's so horrible and so freakin clever and "meta"(i hate that word) and frankly is just way too smart for its targeted audience. What's worse is that it's disguised as a horribly made movie. You wanna see weird... this is it. Easily one of the worst, and yet, one of the smartest movies I've ever seen.

I agree about Rubber.  The best comments about that movie were from the people that stopped watching and when they stopped watching because it showed how well that movie knew it's audience.

I checked out Beyond the Black Rainbow and really liked the first half.   It was pure atmospheric weirdness.  The director nailed that 1970's vision of the future.  Fantastically eerie musical score.  Gotta love those Sentionauts. The story began to lose focus in the second half though and then went off the cliff in a laughable third act.  Still, I admire the daring the filmmakers had in creating that retro-future vibe.

This is an interesting thread, thanks for starting it Michael

I would have to say "The Toxic Avenger" though it would not be politically correct in this day and age.

Not sure if you guys remember it though it was a few sicko's that got points for running kids on bikes over with cars.

Regards Alex
