Definitely Eraserhead which I saw when it first came out at the cinema based purely on the poster which had the quote, " More terrifying than Alien ". 2 hours later I came out & thought WTF! Hated it at the time but have seen it at least half a dozen times since on dvd & actually like it now.
Think Society belongs on this list too.

I wouldn't place Eraserhead in this category.It is weird but then again,it's surrealism,it has to be weird and before watching,I knew what to expect.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a pretty good choice because it has a story and a plot,so you expect a normal film but eventually it turns out to be wtf.I understand the idea of this movie but I get why it might be strange for some people.

Eraserhead is definitely a weird movie, as Gibrielle mentioned. Another really weird one is "Bad boy bubby." This is a very unusual, perhaps cult like film. However, it's quite good and recommended for those that enjoy the strange and or bizarre.

ABC's of Death.
Taxidermia! 3 different episodes each more weird than the last! The final sequence is amazing though, gives a new meaning to the term "go and stuff yourself....."
Other weird movies that spring to mind:
Spiral/Uzumaki - whole town becomes obsessed with Spirals, very strange from the off
Dogtooth - A father keeps his kids locked in the family compound their whole lives, and tell them lies about the world outside. Great and weird
Someone else mentioned Visitor Q, I would add pretty much anything By Takeshi Miike, notably Gozu for weirdness.
Also anything by Shinya Tsukamoto, in particular Haze, still no idea what is really going on in that film!

I came to this thread with the intentions of mentioning Hausu, but TokeZa beat me to it. Eraserhead deserves a mention as well, but just as I suspected it had already been mentioned as well. Another great weird film is Un Chien Andalou, but it has also already been mentioned.
I haven't seen anybody mention anything from the Cronenberg catalog, Videodrome, Naked Lunch, and eXistenZ spring to mind. The 1969 Japanese film Moju (aka Blind Beast) is certainly up there. The Belgium stop-motion movie A Town Called Panic is weird as well, but it's a really inviting type of weird. I suggest everybody see it. I haven't seen Aronofsky mentioned either, Black Swan and Pi are certainly weird, bit I haven't seen any of his other movies that are supposed to be weird.
