I don't know what made me think of this, but... I think everyone here has seen at least 1 film that absolutely made them scratch their heads wondering what's going on until they flat-out gave up on it. And I don't just mean confusing. But what's happening is just so downright strange, that it was almost too... freaky to enjoy.

What in your opinion are the strangest, most confusing, mysterious, or bizarre films you've ever seen?


Some of mine:

Well, Seed of Chucky is way-out-there. I don't know if I actually like this or not. I loved Bride of Chucky, which I think was a wonderful spoof horror movie. Seed is, perhaps, just a little to self-referential, which is odd, because I normally like stuff which breakes the fourth wall. Sometimes I can watch Seed and love it, but more often than not I feel that they went a little too far.

Not a film, but Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is something people either get or don't. Personally I love it. The concept is that this is a horror series written, directed and acted by Stephen King alike Garth Merenghi in the early 80's, but it was scrapped and never shown because it was "too scary". Now, 15 or so years later, bits have been found and restored and are shown for the 1st time ever, with talking head interviews from those involved.

You can view a whole episode of the series on YouTube (this episode features the terrifying moment Dirk is chased through the hospital basement by his own stapler)

My vote is for Clockwork Orange. I had to read the book in my last year of highschool for an ISU and decided to watch the movie afterwards. I found the whole thing really interesting.. but you have to agree it's a weird and freeky movie. If I hadn't read the book first I think there woulda been a lot of head scratching going on.

I have not seen many weird movies, unless you count any Tim Burton movie like Beetlejuice.

I LOVE "Tommy". For me, it toes the line between amazing weird and absurd weird. I wrote my final paper for my Media Arts class on it, and it gave me a whole new perspective on the movie, and I actually appreciate Ken Russell's over-the-top technique.

Other ones I'm fond of include:

Eraserhead
Freaks
Phantom of the Paradise
Any short film by The Brothers Quay
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (I'm kind of reluctant to include this here, because I feel there's a lot going on, more than just simple "weirdness")
Any movie by John Waters

I really was almost about to mention that film... but I've never seen it. I was going to mention it just based off of the plot I heard - which was, without exception, the dang weirdest plot I've ever heard in my entire life. I basically thought- it this even a movie? Could it even be? Jennifer Tilly is a person, herself, in the movie - as herself: the actress, and Tiffany the Doll as well? And did Tiffany, the Doll, get plastic-plastic surgery to reverse all the burning/scarring from the motorhome explosion / baked in the oven scene in Bride? And Chucky, even though he said "I always come back...," shouldn't come back. He was basically dead in Bride. But, whatever. If there's a way to make it funny and weird, writer Don Mancini will do it. But Bride was a very coherent and absolutely genius film. And hilarious. I guess the writer must have felt a certain freedom and taken it to extremes. So, I'd love to include it, but I don't think I should - until I see it. But I kind of don't want to see it. Not after I heard there was a... Doll Sperm Scene. That's just too icky for me.

A Clockwork Orange (1971, directed by: Stanley Kubrick - 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining)

IMDb plots: In a futuristic Britain, a gang of teenagers go on the rampage every night, beating and raping helpless victims. After one of the boys quells an uprising in the gang, they knock him out and leave him for the police to find. He agrees to try "aversion therapy" to shorten his jail sentence. When he is eventually let out, he hates violence, but the rest of his gang members are still after him.

In the not-too-distant future, a charming young sociopath named Alex, leads a nihilistic lifestyle of 'ultraviolence' which comes to a head when he is jailed for murder and volunteers for an experimental brainwashing treatment to reform criminals in exchange for a shorter prison sentence.

Alex, a teenage hooligan in a near-future Britain, gets jailed by the police. There he volunteers as guinea pig for a new aversion therapy proposed by the government to make room in prisons for political prisoners. "Cured" of his hooliganism and released, he is rejected by his friends and relatives. Eventually nearly dying, he becomes a major embarrassment for the government, who arrange to cure him of his cure. A pivotal moment is when he and his gang break into an author's home: the book he is writing (called "A Clockwork Orange") is a plea against the use of aversion therapy, on the grounds that it turns people into Clockwork Oranges (Ourang is Malay for "Man"): they are not being good from choice (sentiments later echoed by the prison chaplain). The film reflects this: many bad scenes in a Clockwork Orange are accompanied by jolly music; if we are to experience them as we should, we have to do it consciously, by realising they are bad, and not because the director tells us so through the use of music and images.

Stomping, whomping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating, Derby-topped teddy-boy hooligan Alex (Malcolm McDowell) has his own way of having a good time. He has it at the tragic expense of others. Alex's journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen forms the dynamic arc of Stanley Kubrick's future-shook vision of Anthony Burgess's novel. Unforgettable images, startling musical counterpoints, the fascinating language used by Alex and his pals - Kubrick shapes them into a shattering whole. Hugely controversial when first released, A Clockwork Orange won the New York Film Critics Best Picture and Director honors and earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. The power of its art is such that it still entices, shocks, and holds us in its grasp.

Alex, a violent juvenile in the near future, is caught after a number of brutal rapes and murders. While imprisoned, he submits to a controversial experiment to make criminals ill at the mildest suggestion of violence or conflict. Now Alex's victims want to welcome him back into society with the same enthusiasm Alex had always exhibited when performing his crimes.

Being John Malkovich (1999, directed by: Spike Jonze - Adaptation., Where the Wild Things Are)

IMDb plots: Craig, a puppeteer, takes a filing job in a low-ceilinged office in Manhattan. Although married to the slightly askew Lotte, he hits on a colleague, the sexually frank Maxine. She's bored but snaps awake when he finds a portal leading inside John Malkovich: for 15 minutes you see, hear, and feel whatever JM is doing, then you fall out by the New Jersey Turnpike. Maxine makes it commercial, selling trips for $200; also, she's more interested in Lotte than in Craig, but only when Lotte is inside JM. JM finds out what's going on and tries to stop it, but Craig sees the portal as his road to Maxine and to success as a puppeteer. Meanwhile, Lotte discovers others interested in the portal.

A puppeteer discovers a door in his office that allows him to enter the mind and life of John Malkovich for 15 minutes. The puppeteer then tries to turn the portal into a small business.

A puppeteer discovers a hidden doorway in his office, which turns out to be a portal into John Malkovitch (the famous actor)'s mind. Upon entering the portal, one gets to be inside Malkovitch's mind for 15 odd minutes. As with any great discovery of this century, the ultimate question immediately arises : 'How can we make money out of this?' He and his co-worker promptly set out to exploit this discovery. It doesn't take long for things to go haywire.

Shivers / They Came from Within
(1975, directed by: David Cronenberg - Scanners, The Fly, A History of Violence)

IMDb plots: The residents of a suburban high-rise apartment building are being infected by a strain of parasites that turn them into mindless, sex-crazed fiends out to infect others by the slightest sexual contact.

While investigating, a doctor discovers that the scientist was doing experiments on the use of genetically engineered parasites as organ transplants. Soon, other people in the complex begin showing signs of carrying the parasites, spreading the things through wanton orgiastic abandon, and the complex begins suffering an attrition problem.

In the fancy Starliner compound in an island near Montréal, a mad scientist tests a parasite in the body of his mistress. He believes that human is an animal that thinks too much, and he develops a parasite to increase the violence and sexual desire of humankind. There is an outbreak in the condominium, with the dwellers becoming fierce zombies of sex.

I would say Fido(I think that's the name), one where a society adopts zombies as slaves...really funny

Anything by Ed Wood.

I dont think Tommy or Clockwork Orange really belong on this list. Clockwork Orange is rather staid compared to the book.

Springheel picked my #1 choice - Eraserhead

SPIDERMAN 3 !!!!

I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone!!!

That's an interesting perspective to bring to this topic.

However, they're not being removed.

Don't think that I mean that there's anything wrong with them. But they are, in fact, incredibly bizarre and strange.

Mr. Toad wrote:Springheel picked my #1 choice - Eraserhead

My list isn't finished yet. All strange and bizarre films I encounter will find their way into it at some point. The common factor however... is that they are The Most Bizarre / Strangest Movies of All-Time.

I wasnt asking you to remove them just discussing it.

You need to watch Eraserhead, you wont be able to think straight for a week.

Well for me I've always found these ones confusing:

Hellraiser Inferno

El Chupacabra

I'll Always Know (or whatever it was called, the third part of the I Know What You Did Last Summer trilogy)


Thats it just off the top of my head, but I've seen Cool World before and it was really weird.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457572/
there's a link to some info of the movie I told

They actually did a movie of the chupacabras??!?!?!?!?!? ewwww

Actually there's a second movie about a Chupacabra that is loose on a cruise ship.....but it made more sense than the first one I mentioned

ohh humanity....

I hope you hadn't buyed it

Pirates 3 is pretty weird in places.



I always thought 2001 was pretty out there. The ending is very nonsensical, and there are whole websites devoted to explaining it to little effect.

Come to think of it, The Black Hole had a pretty weird ending.

Lazario, my champion of the bizarre and twisted, or scratch your head and say 'why' movie is "Getting Into Heaven" from director Edward L. Montoro. This movie is both hilariously funny and dumb, and makes you wonder what were they thinking. It is available through Something Weird Video on DVD. Have you seen it?

Unfortunately, no. The only Something Weird DVD I have is Henenlotter's Basket Case 20th Anniversary Edition.

Alright... I admit it... I'm not that crazy about anything made before 1967... It's like food with me. I just don't eat squash. Can't stand it. Oh yeah, I haven't heard of 'Heaven'. But I had heard of the movies you PM'ed me about from way back then. I've only seen the trailer for Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (a potential contender for this Report), which is a classic and everyone should look for it via YouTube.

But I do figure... there are already cults for those movies. They're self-establishing cult films. They take care of their own. So, I'll be the One-Man-Band (if need be) Cult Master of Ceremonies for slightly more modern films, such as Nothing but Trouble (1991) (which I'm almost conflicted about adding it to the list, but might be on it quite soon - I almost thought about a Weird Films Appreciation Thread... but I can't find PICTURES for this movie- oy!) and Troll 2 (1990). Because, frankly, they need Cults. They deserve Cults.

A top surgeon is besotted with a beautiful woman who once ditched him. Unable to come to terms with life without her, he tries to convince her that they need each other.

Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992, directed by: Anthony Hickox - Waxwork)

IMDb plots: The couple that survives the wax museum in "Waxwork" is followed by a dismembered hand, which kills the girl's father, for which she must stand trial (those lawyer types are shrewd, they weren't going for that dismembered-hand stuff). She and her boyfriend go to Sir Wilfred's house for clues, where they find a film he has prepared for them, pointing the way to his secret evil-thing-fighting stash. They grab the time machine compass thingy and go back in time to look for evidence that the girl is telling the truth, and get embroiled in different conflicts along the way.

Mark and Sarah survived the mayhem from the first movie only to have Sarah on trial for a murder committed by a dismembered hand. To find the proof that will clear her, the pair travel through time and space to dimensions full of historical, movie, and book characters. However, Mark's involvement in these other worlds may not be an accident.

I'd say The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed up Zombies (1964). I still have no idea what all that dancing has to do with Zombies.
