I just watched "Manos: the hands of fate", and i thought that was one of the wierdest movies i've ever seen. Lost highway and other david lynch movies are bizarre as well.



Black Moon is a really weird movie, but also really entertaining and well made. Salo is weird in a gross/disturbing way, but is a great film. The Tin Drum is another good weird film.



Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
That I've seen in the last week -

The Stairs
The Old Ways
The Last Matinee
Roadkill: The Last Days of John Martin
Werewolves Within
Sweet Thing
Purple Sea
Troma's War
The Alpha Incident
Tales of Dracula
Invasion from Inner Earth
The Wanting Mare
Adrenochrome
Blood Harvest

I gas this movie up a lot but Wax: Or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees is pretty out there. One of those films that could have only been made by the weirdo that made it.

"The Lost Room" was a mini series I saw recently that was strange. Some bizarre event happens and now a nail file makes people pass out, huh!



I'm going to try to name some that were "unintentionally" weird (that I've seen or am familiar with, and yeah, some are intentionally weird)...

Lord Love a Duck (1966)
Casino Royale (1967 version)
Barbarella (1968)
Watermelon Man (1970)
Zardoz (1974)
Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
Return to Oz (1985)
Naked Lunch (1991)
Barton Fink (1991)
The Ice Storm (1997)
Bartleby (2001)
Swiss Army Man (2016)



Rubber (2010)
Enemy (2013)


I have others but they are common place i dont watch anything to zany


I have lynch and chronenberg films



Seen Wrath of Man last night... it's not so weird movie but can get on the list.
Soo many unnecessary deaths, stories have much more potential, and don't find those good guys wins! Actually, all good guys die in the movie! What to say except weird movie!



Death Bed: The Bed That Eats is such a puzzling movie. You'd expect 70's schlock with a badly articulated bed, but what you get is immitation Tarkovsky.



I thought No Country for Old Men (2007) was weird... not the whole movie, only the end:
The protagonist is killed long before the movie ends, the villain just rides away into the sunset (thus, with no real resolution to the plot) and Tommy Lee Jones sits in his kitchen giving a soliloquy.

I had similar feelings with There Will Be Blood (2007)... can't put my finger on why exactly, but I just came away from it feeling weird, not able to tell if it was an overall good movie or not. (Definitely interesting at times with some very memorable scenes... but overall? I'm still not sure.)

And then there's Napoleon Dynamite (2004)... another movie I came away from not knowing quite how to feel about it... except weird. However, it's weirdness has grown on me is subsequent re-watchings! I now come away from it feeling kind of uplifted and feel like I had quite a few laughs!



You say weird as if it is a bade thing.(Ha ha) I agree Lynch's movies are weird, strange, etc. But that's what I like about them. Not just Lynch. many would say that Terry Gilliam is weird. I like his movies as well. I'm always on the lookout for movies that are unconventional or weird. You get a lot of bad hits, but it takes a real talent to pull of an absurd or weird movie. Lynch, Gilliam and others know how to pull it off.

Comparing Gilliam to Lynch would be weird in itself. Gilliam's weirdness is much more playful and fanciful, while Lynch's weirdness leans more toward being dark and disturbing.



F is for forging historical art.
U is for you've been fooled.
N is for non-biographies of Howard Hughes.
That movie was pretty cooooool.
