Weirdest movie you've ever seen

Steppenwolf

I'll have to see "Brazil" again. (Released in 1985.) Or maybe Eraserhead. This was when I was experimenting with hallucinogenics, so now these movies may not have the same impact.

Martyrs

Sorry, forgot to include the trailer for Brazil.

SLACK BAY. Watched this on Netflix streaming last night. The trailer doesn't do it justice in the fuckery department. Wealthy inbred family (including hunchback Fabrice Luchini, mental Juliette Binoche, levitating Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) in 1910 France vs family of impoverished cannibals.

Trailer for Zardoz:

Recently, "The Lobster"

There's always "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"

The Bleeding House - more of a filmed stage play

Attic Expeditions - looped "Who Am I, Why Am I Here?" craziness

The Man Who Fell to Earth starring David Bowie. I loved it. But I remember walking out, thinking "what the fuck was that?" ""

Liquid Sky

The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.

Without a doubt, the freakiest kids movie ever.

Welcome to Woop Woop is very strange. But it does have this great Sound of Music scene.

Un Chien Andalou.

ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU!

R10

I was going to post the same! Liquid Sky is a weird watch, but visually interesting in a new wave way.

Gummo

Freeway with Reese Witherspoon. I was driving cross country and it came on when I was in Arizona somewhere. It was amazing.

I'm with OP, it's Zardoz. That movie was just plain weird, even weirder that I found Sean Connery sexy in it. I was in my 20's then and not attracted to older men at all, and even now I don't think I find him sexy in the pictures from it, but I did then.

So sexy, I think it is the boots.

Xtro

Big Meat Eater, a Canadian made sci-fi black comedy.

Palindromes

Parents

Trouble in Mind - I remember leaving the theater not knowing what year it was I was a total mind fuck. Plus Divine as a man (who nearly walked away with the film).

This was pretty odd. I loved it.

From Beyond. Seriously messed up movie that leaves more questions than answers.

Dogtooth!

Hausu (House), by far the craziest movie I've ever seen. I don't know -- many people consider this high film-art, so...

The Apple My husband lent it to me when we were first dating. I'm not sure if I was supposed to watch it while high or what but I wasn't.

Sweetie Jane Campion

Quintet by Robert Altman.

....

Discreet Charm of the Bourgeosie

....

The Baby (1973)

The Wicker Man (1973)

Possession

R29: I looooove Hausu. Talk about non-stop, fucked-up, absurd and just plain insane.

I'll see you and raise you one:

The one where that frightful, mannish woman played a woman playing a man. Or something. Well, I didn't actually see it, but people called me laughing about it. But apparently it wasn't a comedy.

Golly, what's her/his name? Never mind. Not important.

VERY offbeat Robert Altman flick BREWSTER MCCLOUD. 1970. Here's the trailer and the YouTube synopsis:

Brewster McCloud (Bud Cort) lives deep within the cavernous underground of the Houston Astrodome, but his dreams rise much higher. He aims to fly. Not in a plane. But with strapped-on wings he’s designing – encouraged by a mysterious woman (Sally Kellerman) who may be his guardian angel. But Brewster McCloud, Robert Altman’s wild, anarchic cult fave, isn’t about dreams as much as it is about the highs and lows of humanity. It’s a serial-killer mystery. A frenetic car-chase flick. A crazy circus-finale comedy. Shelley Duvall debuts as the tour guide whose seduction of Brewster may lead to his undoing. Ah, love. The thing that at once shapes and unravels us. The thing that may or may not give us wings.

The one where the man go up in the man.

Weird!

Zardoz is a fantastic movie. It's a fascinating glimpse at the destructive ennui of a "perfect" society.

"Videodrome"

Another vote for "Liquid Sky".

"The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover".

A Clockwork Orange

Plan 9 From Outer Space

Anything by John Waters, but the earlier the work, the weirder it was. God love him.

The Cube, with Lana Turner. Her last movie. Weird & awful. She died not long after. Likely, from embarrassment

Liquid Sky, Zardoz, Return of the Valley of the Dolls...yep, all very weird.

Au Hasard Balthazar

Reckless with Mia Farrow and Scott Glenn. Stupid movie.

Sorry, it was THE BIG CUBE...

Eraserhead

Weird and bad needs a different thread than weird and good.

Yes R51. Zardoz: weird/bad; La Planète sauvage: weird/good

I love this Twitter account. Anyone watching tonight?

Fantastic Planet

Thank you R54 I'll add Gandahar to weird/good as well.

[quote]The Cube, with Lana Turner. Her last movie. Weird & awful. She died not long after. Likely, from embarrassment

She has three listed credits after that- Persecution in 1974, Bittersweet Love in 1976, and Witches Brew in 1980. She died in 1995 which is 16 years after The Big Cube came out, hardly "not long after".

Bump

Have you heard the long deep sound of my piss, OP?

Any film by Peter Greenaway

Last Year at Marienbad

Anything by

Surprised no one mentioned The Holy Mountain.
