What is the weirdest movie you've seen?
By weird I mean sort of trippy like Alice in Wonderland or Requiem for a Dream.

A Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrick’s best.
‘Un Chien Andalou’, ‘L’age D’or’, ‘Eraserhead’.
it was a movie with billy zane, black and white, some guy getting killed with a plastic bag, extreme weird, oh, and ofcourse π, what a weird one was that
Some of thouse don’t sound that weird…
The weirdest for me has got to be The Wall. My old roomate was a big Pink Floyd fan and practically made me watch it. I was compleatly sober when I saw it so all I could do was scratch my head and raise my eyebrows.
The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover
Altered States has some really trippy imagery. Ken Russell directed it and put in some really freaky psychedelic drug scenes. Not to mention a lot of naked, young William Hurt butt.
probably “11:14” but I thought it was great.
the tenant by roman polanski. well pretty much anything by roman polanski.
Baraka, The Clockwork Orange and My Dinner With Andre
@breedmitch Alter states was WEIRD! wtf with that movie. I dont really think it was really all that great but interesting to say the least.
@uber: Great? No, not so much. I do this film series thing here in NY and we recently screened it. I have to say, some of the imagery was great, but some of the regressed-monkey-man stuff just comes across as campy. It is interesting, however, that all the effects are pre-CGI.
Oh yes ill definitely agree the imagery was great for its time.<pictures him walking down the hallway at the end banging the walls shape shifting> The story was horrible though.
Human Traffic was awesome. Pretty funny too.
probably fear and loathing in las vegas….it totally threw me off. that or the movie with maculay culkin as a drag queen.
I can’t bevieve that I’m the twenty second person to input and I’m only the first one to mention John Lynch’s “Eraserhead.” Great movie. I especially like the radiator girl. “Freaks” is another good one, from the 1930’s.
@Chuck: The third response mentioned Eraserhead.
@breedmitch- Sorry, I’m challenged. I just saw that. Duh. I guess I can’t read. But at least no one else mentioned “Freaks.” Right?
I forgot “City of Lost Children.” Not a bad flick but very strange.
Abigail’s Party channeled my love of film to an entirely new direction.
edit:
I need to start reading the sub question. Abigail’s Party isn’t trippy like David Lynch trippy, more off-the-wall/unbelievable trippy.
Nude on the Moon by Doris Wishman
Catch 22 – great idea, terrible interpretation for entertainment value.
A Clockwork Orange (as already mentioned) is the first one that comes to mind. Also, perhaps, Boxing Helena. I very much liked the former, but did not care for the latter (if I recall, David Lynch’s daughter did the film).
Eraserhead, by David Lynch. I see that astrochuck tupara list it as well.
After that, Basket Case.
nayeight, think you’re talking about Party Monster and that movie is pretty odd!!
Jodorowsky’s El Topo. We’ll never see its like again.
suprised nobody has mentioned this one: THX 1138 by George Lucas…. 2001 is also up there.
Liquid Sky. Aliens that feed on endorphins kill off the main characters’ sexual partners as she has sex with them. (And no, it’s not porn. R-rated, I think)
@boffon- Is that the Bruce Campbell Elvis and Ozzie Davis JFK flick?
The Dead Girl! I just saw it last night and man…
@AstroChuck Yes… Strange, odd…But funny film…..
Brewster McCloud and Freaks are two really weird films.
Dream Catcher was very weird and very bad!
@cschack, good call on Jodorowsky, we’d have to add ‘Santa Sangre’ to the list. And shindo’s ‘Oni Baba’.
8 1/2 is weird, Fellini was a strange dude.
