Weirdest Movie(s)?

[Pop Not Soda]

Most of David Lynch's movies, most notably Eraserhead, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Drive. (I haven't seen Inland Empire yet to see how it measures up.)

Some of Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike's work, especially Gozu, Audition, Visitor Q, and The Happiness of the Katakuris (the latter is undoubtedly the weirdest movie I've ever seen... it's like a cross between slasher flick and upbeat musical ). Someone mentioned Ichi the Killer... that movie is nowhere near as weird as these other ones by him.

Dumplings, by Hong Kong filmmaker Fruit Chan.

On the lighter side, The Ten is one of the weirdest comedies I've ever seen. It's a recent comedy (2007) starring the cast of The State/Reno 911/Wet Hot American Summer, as well as Paul Rudd, Famke Janssen, and Jessica Alba.

Ichi was a little weird due to the graphic violence. Almost anything Takashi Miike does is weird to some extent. Dumplings, or it's anthology film "3 Extremes" is weird. As it features "Dumplings", another short story from "Oldboy" director Chan Woo-Park, and "The Box" from Takashi Miike. The U.S. version is a 2 disc DVD which has "3 Extremes" on disc 1 and on disc 2 the full 90 minute version of "Dumplings." You just reminded me that I still need to get this movie.

I know I have a lot of disturbing movies on my list, however I singled out "Gummo" as being a film that repulsed and bored me. It may seem odd, but I don't mind shocking and disturbing films. However, stuff like "Gummo", "Kids", and "Havoc" among others just get under my skin, cause they try to be realistic, but are totally loathesome, unwatchable, and unlikeable films. There is no beauty or worth in callous debachery exploiting what is supposed to be semi-real. The low point of it all is a little crap film called "The Real Cancun."

The Park film is called "Cut". It's good (very David Lynch-ian... in fact, the set almost looks like a rip-off of the checkered room from Twin Peaks)... but "The Box" is by far the weirdest and coolest thing on that disc. I mentioned "Dumplings" because it's the only film of the three which was an actual feature-length film.

And for the record, I liked Havoc a lot, and not just for Anne Hathaway's great pencil-eraser nipples.

That's not weird, it's pure cult classic 80's. Jim Carrey was great in it as Wiplock.

Eraserhead for sure... half the movies mentioned in this thread aren't "weird" just silly (like all the Troma movies).

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes made me think everyone was smoking weed.

The movie Grease always freaked me out because none of the people in it looked young enough to be in high school.
