Weirdest "good" movies you've ever seen

Winny_Pooh

I'm not talking Inland Empire or miserable shite like Enter the Void, Werckmeister Harmonies or Lars von Trier's work, rather, enjoyable but fucking weird movies you've seen.

This tops the list at present



Honourable mentions:
Mulholland Drive
Uncle Boonmee who can recall his past lives
Dogtooth

What's that mad one set in a mad max like australian dystopia where the girl is being cannibalised alive but she covers herself in plop so the woman won't eat her and then makes her escape having literally lost an arm and a leg only to be taken in by Keanu Reeves and Carl Drogo off Games of Thrones is in.....oh d'ya know what forget it.

Yeah, Holy Motors, watch that it's good.

Loads of weird films in the past that I've loved, but then I like weird films in general so some of the ones I like are probably not appealing to a wider audience!

Recent ones that spring to mind:

'Sorry To Bother You...'.   A dystopian near-future film that doesn't seem too strange until it hits a certain point/twist about two thirds through. Once you see that sudden shift in tone you'll know exactly what I mean!

'The Lobster' The future of dating!! (possibly...)

MANDY with Nic Cage is a wild, psychedelic, violent romp. didn't know what to expect but it's bloody brilliant. 

love Lynch and Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet but not seen the whole oeuvre.

Dunno if it's weird enough but...

Brightburn. It's a 'what if' sorta thing where Superman grows up a little emo shitbag

EDIT: just remembered A Ghost Story. Enjoyed that

I had a bit of an art house/ gay and lesbian cinema period and enjoyed at the time films like A Zed and Two Noughts, The Draughtsman's Contract, My Beautiful Launderette but I don't know if I have the patience for modern equivalents. 

 I watch a few French language films and they are invariably a bit weird compared to mainstream Hollywood. For example, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec which is sort of Indiana Jones with nudity; great fun film but I wonder who the target audience was!

eat the peach

an Irish film about a guy who tries to make some extra money but building a "wall of death" out of scrap

Cloud Atlas.
Weird in that it's not like any other film I've seen. Very hard to pigeon hole it.

fields5069

The Baby of Macon
You said no Von Trier - but Melancholy and Breaking the Waves.

Midsommar was pretty weird, but very enjoyable. 

CeeJay

Paddington?

ICBM

I need to re-watch that. I've seen it once and thought at the time that it would need at least a second go.

Most of Terry Gilliam's films are very weird too - Brazil and The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus to name just a couple.

Brian dead.

Charlie Kaufman's Synechdoche, New York is simultaneously deeply odd, and very very good.  I'm of the "it's-a-proper-masterpiece" school of thought on this one, but it does divide people.

Danny1969

The Little Death  - strange Australian sex comedy that's funny as hell
The Killing of the sacred deer - Lobster - Dog Tooth are all great strange films by Yorgos Lanthimos 

HAL9000

This. I was just about to mention Brazil and Time Bandits.

Kittyfrisk

Eraserhead.

Fuengi

I thought that was a pretty standard break up/cult film. Very good, though.

I'm a big fan of Lost Highway too.

Existenz is worth a watch, I think it's a David Kronenburg.

Remainder the movie of the Tom McCarthy book.  Excellent book good movie but fucking weird.
