What movie is the weirdest you've ever seen? The movies that have made you very confused...

Shōjo Kakumei Utena: Adolescence Mokushiroku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Girl_Utena#Movie)
X/1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X/1999)
Yellow Submarine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Submarine_%28film%29)

Once again I have to nominate The Dark Backward. It was too weird to be watchable. Horrible movie, but definitely weird.

I liked Repo Man. That had some weird in it.

Donnie Darko.
Identity.
Requiem for a Dream.

Battlefield Baseball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Baseball) or This... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Pow:_Enter_the_Fist)

i've had enough of this movie madness! why must you have as many as 5 threads about this stuff?

Hedwig and the Angry Inch. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0248845/)

It's amazingly good, but it's also quite "weird" at points, which is part of its excellence.

enough of this movie madness!
It's called a bandwagon. Jump on it before there is a ban!

He didn't steal mine! I got it because I'm watching Yellow Submarine right now out of the corner of my eye.

This may be the weirdest TV show of all time

La Jetee - French film told entirely in still frames.

Donnie Darko
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (http://imdb.com/title/tt0080391/)

The Attic Expeditions (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118652/)

Donnie Darko by far.

Actually, I've changed my mind, and I'm sure you all will agree:


Roger Water's The Wall

Mind Warp. Excellent. Weird.

Mind Warp. Excellent. Weird.

Very true. VERY true.

The Holy Mountain (http://imdb.com/title/tt0071615/)

Irreversible.

The End of Evangelion

Battlefield Baseball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Baseball) or This... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Pow:_Enter_the_Fist)

And you want me to watch it?

And you want me to watch it?

Yes. Trust me, you'll be better for it. :p

Avalon was one of the weirdest movies I ever saw...

End of Evangelion (and the last two episodes) is also up there.

I saw Avalon once, it is pretty strange. To me it made sense.... for the first half an hour or so.

The movie made sense to me, it was just a very strange ride...

I would say "A Clockwork Orange", but that one is sort of a given. So, Ill throw out "Memento", which was absolutely crazy in details.

From what I've seen, Brazil is pretty weird, but unfortunately I've got to wait until Christmas to see it.

Monty Python's Flying Circus was the weirdest TV show IMO.

A Clockwork Orange!
I heard the opening music in my head for weeks afterwards. :)

Donnie Darko, but in a good way

From what I've seen, Brazil is pretty weird, but unfortunately I've got to wait until Christmas to see it.

Damn, I'd forgotten about that! Brazil is the comedy musical of 1984. It's like they stuck a USB cable into Terry Gilliam's head and downloaded the contents thereof.

Mists of Avalon is a weird one. I've seen the whole thing and been totally unmoved by it.

Eraserhead.

Rocky Horror picture show hands down motha fuckas.

Donnie Darko,
A Clockwork Orange

But in both cases, that made the film good.

Eraserhead.

Agreed.

And on a different note, what boring people frequent this forum. Donnie Darko? Are you kidding me? Compared to movies like Save the Green Planet, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Wild Zero, or The Happiness of the Katakuris Donnie Darko is as weird as the average dime a dozen Hollywood action movie.

Yes i was just about to say that.

Donnie Darko?

Pfft.

Try this one:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080752/

No one who has ever seen it, can disagree.

Starring the "Boss, the plane! the plane!" guy.
(Herve Villiachaiz).

Irreversible, almost hands down.. Last House on the Left is strange in the sense that it's....just entirely devoid of a point.

Oh, and Donnie Darko is incredibly over-rated.
