Fave weird movies?

  • Thread starter swords

I like movies that have a strange aspect to them and I was wondering if some of you do too? What are they?

I'm always looking for cool movies to suit my weird tastes.
 
Here are some of my fave weird ones, what are yours?

The Big Lebowski
Natural Born Killers
A Mighty Wind
Spinal Tap
Videodrome
Naked Lunch
Sin City
Pulp Fiction
Tank Girl
Animatrix
Saw #1 (none of the others)
The Road to Wellville
A Scanner Darkly
Roller Blade
Crowley (written by Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, surprisingly good & weird movie)
Tapeheads

Spinal Tap

Pulp Fiction
A Scanner Darkly

I really liked all of those. I'd put up:
Requiem For A Dream
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Donnie Darko
Apocalypse Now (Redux)
Trainspotting
Let the Right One In

These have all earned the Jason Osmann Seal of Approval for being great movies worth watching. They're all a bit odd as well.

zzzz-ohan!~
 
I'd forgotten about Apocalypse Now, it's such a marathon of a movie! 2 VHS tapes! :D

If you liked Spinal Tap check out Mighty Wind, it's the Tap guys doing a 60's folk music mockumentary as The Folksmen. I just got my copy on DVD today (don't have to watch the partly taped over copy I have on VHS with commercial interruptions) been digging the geeky tunes and all the extra scenes. I was raised by hippies so I have a soft spot for this music, other people my age seem to find it intolerable! lol!
 
Check out Wild Zero, a great japanese punk-rock zombie alien horror/comedy (live action too)
 
I like really weird/random movies that have no point to them... Zohan, Rocker, napolian or whatever.. I don't know how to spell it... but Anyway I like movies like that. :D hehe
 
if we are talking purely "weird" classic favs...

Eric the viking
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The gods must be crazy
Buckaroo Bonzai
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Labyrinth (David Bowie version)
Pan's Labyrinth (spanish version)
Heavy Metal
Pink Floyd's The Wall

:crazy:

I'll check out Mighty Wind some time.

Weird movies & B movies are pretty much all I watch!

Some Favorites:

Zardoz
Alien
2001
Eraser Head
Cat Soup
The Valley of Gwangi
Blue Velvet
Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!
Latitude Zero (anything Toho really)
Barbarella (the fact Jane Fonda hates it so much makes it all the better!)

Man I could go on all day!

So far nobody's mentioned any Troma films...

Class of Nuke 'Em High
Surf Nazis Must Die
Rabid Grannies ( I think that was a Troma release)

I guess they aren't my faves either but they are fun to watch on occasion.

My Swedish writer for Battlehelm (Anders) ordered $1600 worth of girly/horror B movies from Amazon and had them shipped to my house and then I reboxed them and shipped all at once to him (cheaper postage), it killed me not to open some of them and give them a spin. There were some real corker titles (like "Cannibal Hookers in the Jungles of Death") but they were all shrink wrapped.
