Oh, another one I forgot. I know people hate on it, but I actually really really enjoyed Swordfish.

Lost Highway - another David Lynch movie.

Brazil - Terry Gilliam

12 Monkeys - also Terry Gilliam

I'm also a fanatic for MST3K - particularly "Prince of Space."

I like all of those, but Lost Highway takes the cake for weird.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

The only weird thing about Dekalog is that Kieslowski was allowed to make such a religious film in Communist Poland.

Of course, here are some of the Weirdest films in my considerable collection.
  • A Clockwork Orange: My All-time Favourite film. 'Nuff said.
  • El Topo and The Holy Mountain: Cinematic mysticism that simply must be seen to be believed.
  • FDR: AMerican Badass. It features werewolves, wheelchairs with machine guns, and guys pooping in a jar, and yet, it's still better than the OTHER recent movie about FDR.
  • Bratz: Simply the most insane So-Bad-It's-Good movie of the Millennium. And that includes The Room. And once you see the Mexicans with the live-in Mariachi bands and the clique of kids who dress like dinosaurs, you'll see why.
  • Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: This movie HAD to be weird, or else it wouldn't be Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
  • 5000 Fingers of Dr. T: It can't decide whether it wants to be a low-budget musical, a live-action adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book that never got written, or what.
  • Bruno: How can a movie with a talking penis NOT be weird?
  • Black Swan: My parents were curious as to WHY I dragged them to seeing it when it was released, but once they got to the body horror and the lesbian sex, they figured it out.
  • Dead Ringers: I love movies about mutant genitalia. Who doesn't?
  • The Ruling Class: After the Earl of Gurney dies of autoerotic asphyxiation, his son becomes the new Earl. Unfortunately, he thinks he's Jesus. He is then brainwashed to think he's Jack the Ripper. Everyone's happy!
  • Tromeo and Juliet: A modern-day adaptation of Romeo and Juliet with Gore and tits. A great inspiration for me.
  • Bronson: Somehow, Tom Hardy is more disturbing in this role than he was as Bane.
  • Natural Born Killers: It's the most expensive student film ever made...
  • ... at least until Fight Club got greenlit five years later.
  • A Serious Man. For whatever reason, I've watched this three times in the last month, and it's quickly becoming one of my all-time favourite films.
  • Billy Jack: It's either a hippy-dippy movie about standing up against THE MAN, a drama about the hippy-dippy ex-Green Beret kung Fu star who helps people while predicting the Waco sieve, or a martial arts movie.
  • Zardoz: If you know the name, do I really have to explain why this is weird?
Maybe one of these days, I'll start up a Tumblr blog about weird movies, books, and music, et al. Maybe call it "Stop doing Drugs and start becoming them."
