The SOmething Weird trailer disk is weird on it's own!

Anyway, how about Suicide Club?

These will grown some hair on your chest (even if you're a girl!)


Cronenberg:
The Brood
eXistenZ

Resnais:
Last Year at Marienbad

Bunuel:
The Exterminating Angel

Anno:
Neon Genesis Evangelion series (It's anime, but the second half rivals Lynch in terms of surrealism.)

Anything by Werner Herzog but start with Strosek!

Todd Browning:
Freaks
The Unknown (Lon Chaney as an armless knife thower!)

Pasolini:
Salo: The 120 days of Sodom.

Peter Jackson:
Dead Alive
Meet the Feebles (How on earth did this movie even get made?? And how was PJ allowed to direct the multi-million dollar LOTR spectacle after this?)

richard - I remember reading an interview with one of the New Line execs who greenlit LOTR, and he said something to the effect of we met Peter and liked him and said yes, then I went and watched his catalog and thought "Oh my god ... what have we done?".

Another Miike film which I don't recommend because it sucks, but DAMN is it strange:

Dead or Alive

Within the first 20 minutes we witness:

1)Gay Anal sex in which someones beheading with a samurai sword is treated as ejaculate by the "Catcher"
2)Someone trying to video tape a bestiality session, graphically.
3)A japanese business man tossing a used enema to a stripper
4)Clowns arming passing gangsters

It's just flat out strange. I will finish it some day, it just moves SLOW aside from being TOTALLY weird.

Another vote for "The Reflecting Skin"...

I'm surprised Fellini Satyricon hasn't been mentioned yet. One of the most bizarre movies ever made, in which
Two friends compete for the love of a 12 year-old houseboy

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

 

[Jacob McCraw]

Naked Lunch
Ichi the Killer

Just to keep this thread alive, may I recommend Maelström and Possible Worlds. Two very strange Canadian films (Canada has other weirdo directors besides David Cronenberg and Guy Maddin. What’s in the water up there?!). Maelström tells a story of chance, narrated by a pre-historic fish. Possible Worlds is a surreal mesh of the various lives of a man's relationship to a woman that happen on opposing parallel universes, meanwhile a pair of police detectives are trying to figure out where his brain went after they find him murdered (that's the opening scene).

 

[Marko Berg]

Another vote for Maelström. The Canadian DVD release is quite good.

 

[Scott Bell]

Any Miike film. "Visitor Q" is about the wierdest I've seen. And yes; it does support family values (in its own way).

 

[Henry Gale]

Todd Solondz's Happiness (1998)


Joe : What do you think would happen if I got him a professional... you know...
Bill : A professional?
Joe : Hooker. You know, the kind that can teach things... first-timers, you know... break him in.
Bill : But Joe, he's 11.
Joe : You're right, you're right. It's too late

I forget the name, something where its an Italian name starting with an M twice, like Mario, Mario.

This wins it for me as far as strange


a kid from Canada, Montreal I think, wants to be Italian and thinks he is Italian. He comes up with a idea some old guy in Italy jacked off on a Tomatoe, and it was shipped to Canada. His obese mother FALLS on the Tomatoe, which becomes logged inside her, causing her pregnancy.


And it gets stranger from there....
