Hmm...
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, 2001 A Space Oddysey, Dungeons & Dragons (still can't believe Tom Baker was in that one), Anything from the 4th Hellraiser on, Halloween 3, Trolls, I'll probably think of more in a while.
EDIT Thought of another one - The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. - that by far is the strangest thing I ever saw - I saw it on TV when I was a kid and it gave me nightmares.

Thank goodness I didn't see Trolls 2

Yes. One of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.
Lynchfan2033
12-26-2006, 06:58 AM
first off, wow, there are some movies I wouldn't expect from movie goers to say.. If movies like Donnie Darko, Trainspotting, and Vanillia Sky, are the strangest movies you have ever seen, then you really need to watch more movies.
David Lynch should without a doubt win this thread.. with the exception of Naked Lunch and Zardoz being the only movies I have seen mentioned in this thread that could compete.. I have seen mosto f the movies listed.
And while upon 1st viewings of Mullholland Drive, Lost Highway, and Wild at Heart are all strange movies, even somewhat weird, they all make perfect sense to me... i have seen MD about 5 times, LH 3 times and WaH twice.
there still is no doubt the 1 film that is a no brainer.. at least until I watch Inland Empire, and that is Eraserhead.. granted I have only seen it 1 time, and I understand it completely.. too bad it is still the weirdest movie i have ever seen.
but as stated Naked Lunch is pretty close.

I agree, Tzarinna. It's a strange one alright. I don't think I saw it at the theatre. I think I first saw it on HBO a couple of years later so I would have been 19 or 20-- but boy did it freak me out. That transformation scene is bizarre. I think the film was probably over my head as a young man. I'd like to see it again.
One thing's for sure, It's a movie that you need a certain level of discernment, not to mention constitution to endure. Definitely not a movie for the kiddies.

Man, what passes as strange isnt much these days is it?
Tim Burton movies, they arnt strange....they are dark, kooky, gothic maybe, but they have reasonably logical straighforward plots.
Its not like he directed a film about a midget made of lightbulbs who makes a spaceship out of an acorn then orbits venus listening to Willy Nelson records backwards is it?
I didnt really think 21 Grams was strange, or Magnolia, they are just adult films that dont give the audience all the answers, and let them find out stuff for themselves. Thats increasingly rare in Michael Bay-orientated Hollywood these days, the stupider the better, is how studios like it.

What was strange about 21 grams is i watched a good 20 minutes before i even knew what was going on. If it had not been the jigsaw, cut-up editing, i wonder if it would have played the same and if i would have enjoyed it as much. Instead with its a much more interesting and strange way to make a movie.
dictionary.com defines Strange as: 1. unusual, extraordinary, or curious; odd; queer
So i definitely think that as well as the tim burton.
As for magnolia, its a drawn out, over dramatic ,super pretentious, piece of ****. But this is my own opinion, as i know a good many people who loved the damned thing, which i for one will never understand..

Cut-up editing isn't really so strange these days. You're seeing it more and more. Look at Short Cuts (Altman..he started it all) and Crash. Now, I understand that that is your opinion of Magnolia. But it seems to me whenever a director aims high and misses (like Magnolia and even Shortcuts) they are labeled as pretentious. Now this may be true. But being pretentious doesn't necessarily make it bad, does it? I think what we mean by strange is something that isn't seen often; unusual. For Tim Burton most every film he has made has been labeled strange. So we could say that it really isn't out of the ordinary anymore (much like David Lynch).

-that scene in 'Germany in Autumn' where Fassbinder plays with his flaccid penis for what seems like forever while talking on the phone about something so mundane. Could have been cut? Just a bit?
-hands down, the chicken scene in Pink Flamingos. WTF.
-Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. So bizzarre. I remember I went into my mom's room when I first saw that, switched her channel from, whatever, Ironside?, and said 'Look at this. Isn't this just weird?'
-that scene in 'The Twilight Zone' where the gremblin/monster tries to tear apart the airplane wing and only one passenger witnesses it...that scene stays with me. Stuff of nightmares.

I walked out of "Punch Drunk Love" and "The Psychic", but the strangest movie I ever saw was recent, and not because of the story:
Stranger Than Fiction
In a five minute segment of the movie, the projector showing the film messed up and adjusted the film downward, into the cropped off area. Suddenly we were seeing the boom microphone and cameramen filming the scenes. It was very distracting and people in the audience were saying "what's going on?" and shrugging their shoulders.
Then there was Ever After where halfway through the movie the film suddenly flipped upside down and started playing backwards from the end. That's not a smooth switch of reels there!

The Gnome Mobile (1967) - It was re-released into theaters by Disney in the 70's and actually my first theater movie as a kid and those little munchkins were weird and strange and just the whole movie seemed like a funny dream at that age.
Willy Wonka was pretty weird, especially back then. I loved the scene where the kid turns into the blueberry.
Phantasm 2 was pretty twisted, especially with those flying spheres.

13 Tzameti was an intense and crazy movie. It's about a game similar to russian roulette. I thought my heart was going to explode from the suspense.

Definitely The People Under the Stairs.
I mean the plot was pretty straight forward (hero tries to save the little girl from abusive parents), but some of the scenes were just freaky.
The parents dancing around the kid's body?
The zombies that just show up out of nowhere?
And is there anything weirder than a grown man dressed in an S & M suit, chasing kids with a shotgun :)
I get that Craven was trying to make a fantasy, but still...

Zardoz with Sean Connery is most definetly strange though.

A great deal of independent films or just B-rated movies were strange. The latest of the weird was The Science of Sleep. It looks good and Gael Garcia Bernal is so hot, but it doesn't help make the movie easy to sit through. If only I could change this movie, it could have been so much more. Ah! the hottness wasted, what a shame!
Elephant-It was very strange, but it was shot very well.
Hard Candy is without a doubt the weirdest movie ive ever seen.

Twin Peaks - definitely weird - and I was a pretty avid watcher of the show (I can't imagine how hard to follow it must have been for people who'd never seen the TV series)
Mullholland Drive - I consider myself a pretty smart individual and I was just like WTF?
Memento - but let me clarify - I mean weird in a good way. I totally got the point of the whole movie and was quickly able to follow the plot - but when I first watched it I was like WOAH! Same goes for the first Matrix - but more because it was such a novel idea of "what if we're all living a lie?"

The Science of Sleep. It was incredibly weird and I expected that weirdness to appeal to me. Unfortunately it didn't and I learned the valuable lesson that weird does not always = good.

I think Serial Mom easily takes the cake for me as the strangest movie I ever saw. Never again will I ever experience anything like it, but I'll be sure to see it again twenty times.
Another one that comes to mind is Fargo. If shoving a guy into a wood chipper isn't strange, I don't know what is. Ah, I love the Coen brothers...

FranklinTard
04-11-2007, 11:41 AM
Alright ive got my main hypothesis about Crank, but first let me explain that i believe what i am about to say fully but it is open to interpretation. However if you read my reasons and become angry (which could happen for the movie takes liberties with its audience) please dont complain to me i did not make the movie, but please do not act like there is nothing there. There is too much going on in the movie for there to be only one story. Back to the hypothesis: Its fundamentally a 'scoff' film from europeans to americans.
basically my belief is that its a film that europeans sent over because they thought that americans would watch anything, no need for a plot or much of a story, because americans only focus on the action. There are so many parts of this movie that tell you the entire story of this and i will post them after i have rewatch the film. But in a nutshell its anti american and it pokes fun at the auidence, all the while the audience smiles and has no idea. more on this later.
intersting, but i fail to see how it is obvious

I mean the writter with the horrible skin condition that's psychological, slipping between reality and his fantasy personna until fantasy is reality and vice versa.
And the singing. God. That musical montage where Nurse Katie Holmes is giving Downey a skin rub or whatever and he's trying not to bust a nut in front of her... just awesomely kooky!

Strangest movie has to be From Dusk Till Dawn for me. Sure, there are other movies that are much weirder but I knew sort of what to expect. But with from Dusk Till Dawn I had no idea that there would be vampires in it, I thought it was just another action movie. So when those people at the bar started turning into vampires and hell broke loose I was like WTF?
PseudoSloth
04-15-2007, 10:13 AM
jeppers creepers 1. the main character dies at the end by the monster thing:confused:
What was so strange about that?
Personally my vote goes to this one movie. I forget the name of it. But this boy kills this girl by accident(Beebee), puts a battery or something in her head and she becomes a robot. Like WTH?!
Then she goes on to obsesse over him, killing everyone who is a loved one or hurt him. She kills one guy by repeatedly bashing his headin with basketball at high levels of strenth.

David Lynch's films are strange enough to evoke the adjective "Lynchian" used in many reviews of other films to describe complexity and weirdness.....so I'd say they definitely qualify!

Think movies you've seen are strange? Check these out.
In particular order (plus synopsis in case you are interested to see them...)
1. 964 Pinocchio (1991)
Plot: Pinocchio 964, lobotomized cyborg sex slave, is thrown out onto the street by his owners because of his inability to maintain an erection. He is befriended by a memory-wiped, homeless girl who turns out to be a sadist and criminally insane.
2. Eraserhead (1977)
Plot: Henry Spencer tries to survive in a haunting and creepy industrial environment with his angry girlfriend, and his newly-born mutant child, which leads to the injection of all sorts of sexual imagery into the depressive and chaotic mix.
3. Onibaba (1965)
Plot: As a feudal war rages in 14th-century Japan, the wife and the mother of a soldier make their meager living by killing samurai who come their way and selling their armor for food. Tensions build as the young widow gives in to her loneliness, and the older woman feels jealousy, until a samurai with ominous demon mask comes by.
4. Blue Velvet (1986)
Plot: After finding a severed human ear in a field, a young man soon discovers a sinister underworld lying just beneath his idyllic suburban home town where he meets a kidnapper with a penchant for snorting helium.
5. Naked Lunch (1991)
Plot: After developing an addiction to the substance he uses to kill bugs, an exterminator accidentally murders his wife and becomes involved in a secret government plot being orchestrated by giant bugs in an Islamic port town in Africa.
6. Videodrome (1983)
Plot: A lowly cable TV operator begins to see his life and the future of media spin out of control in a very bizarre fashion when he acquires a hardcore snuff programming for his station.
7. Tetsuo (1989)
Plot: A strange man known only as the "metal fetishist", who seems to have an insane compulsion to stick scrap metal into his body. A merging of flesh and metal accelerates him into a hyper-hallucinated transformation.
8. Delicatessen (1991)
Plot: An ex-clown turns up seeking work at an apartment in the middle of nowhere. Little does he know that the landlord feeds cannibalistic meals for his odd tenants.
9. Lost Highway (1997)
Plot: A jazz saxophonist is convicted for the murder of his wife and sent to prison, where he inexplicably transform into a young mechanic and begins leading a new life.
10. Eyes Without A Face (1960)
Plot: The brilliant and famous surgeon destroyed the face of his beloved daughter in a car wreck. He becomes insane, trying to restore her face through successive transplants of the faces of pretty women abducted by his assistant. **The bonus documentary is even more creepy and disturbing
