So, let's say I'm a big fan of really odd movies. What should I rent?

Asked by Repo_the_Genetic_Opera (438points) September 20th, 2009

I really love weird movies, and so I wondered if anyone knew some that I haven’t seen. I’ve seen Donnie Darko, Eraserhead, A Clockwork Orange, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Shock Treatment, Dead and Breakfast, Phantom of the Paradise, Tommy, etc.

American Beauty, I saw it when I was younger and I just found it really strange and creepy

Brazil. Just a weird, sad movie.

Strange Days.

Any movie Terry Gilliam directed really
Especially Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Well maybe except the grimm brothers, that sucked ass
Phantom of the Paradise is criminally underrated.

Am I really the only one that found Catch 22 utterly baffling and anticlimactic?
although in some ways amusing and thought-provoking

Evil Dead 1, 2, Army of Darkness, really fun horror comedy type movies.

imo the second one was the best!

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and A Clockwork Orange are the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen. Rocky Horror is weird, but I’m a major fan.

Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, the list could go on and on.

Time Bandits. Weirdest movie I have ever seen.

Yeah, just get a Terry Gilliam pack to go. Dario Argento, David Lynch, David Fincher are also directors of strange films.

Try here, too, for suggestions.

Freaks – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022913/
Also Killer Clowns from Outer Space is a weird comedy/horror flick (not scary at all)

Phoebe in Wonderland was a pretty bizarre movie but it was great. It has Dakota Fanning’s sister in it. She does an amazing job. I highly suggest renting it.
