Benoît Poelvoorde (1992) - Duh! Totally weird and terrifying
all the same, thanks Tino.
On another note has anybody else seen the last Heath Ledger movie, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus? That movie was quite out there, but incredibly enjoyable.

how about 'A Woman Under the Influence'?
Gummo was an excellent suggestion.
I feel as though this is a great lising there could be a few more horror films included but that goes into a different genre listing right?
Also could add Oldboy or Suicide Club, which I still don't entirely get.
I'd add: Cronenberg's "Dead Ringers"
Jodorowsky's "El Topo"
Svankmeyer's "Alice" and "Faust"
"Tetsuo: The Iron Man"

If i could id vote twice!
The Living & the Dead- Simon Rumley
How about "Bound" with Meg Tilly? Weird enough? Interesting anyway. Also, "Vanishing Point."

Stay (trippy with great visuals but the storyline does blow), and c'mon "Fight Club"? Let's be a little more original here with this great list of movies and not be too cliché.. just saying!
amongst many awesome suggestions in the post and the comments over, here are my additions; Everything by Peter Greenaway (a Zed and Two Noughts is but the tip of the iceberg) is bulls eye. Also Emir Kusturica (god how i love his movies "Underground" + "Black Cat Wite Cat") aces every time on weirdness.
Someone mentioned Jan Svankmajer, but not his insane remake of Alice in Wonderland - 1.5hr half of it stop-motion animation with, among many other insane takes, a taxidermied rabbit.. which makes for a holla to "Taxidermia".
Amongst wild and weird directors, finnish Aki Kaurosmaki deserves a spot. My favourite, his "Matchstick Factory Girl".
"Anticrist" is mentioned, totally on. Along the same danish madness i would recommend "the Idiots" by Lars von Trier.
"Du Levande" by Roy Andersson (songs from the second floor - he`s also making a new one atm, title unknown tho), Ettore Scolas` "Obnoxious, Repulsive and Annoying" is mindgrazing - as well as the historic "Salô" (the director got murdered in the 70s after making it)
Its possible the actor Richard E Grant made the weird list with "Whitnail & I", or even "the Wicker Man" - but among my fav 10 films is his rather unknown "How to Get Ahead in Advertising". go on, imdb it.
"Pan`s Labyrinth", "the Wanderers" (one of the few sharing the genre of the epic movie Warriors, only wierder).... and last, but not least; the comedy series "Brass Eye", "Jam" and "the Day Today" by Chris Morris is the best absurd/surreal/repulsive comedy i`ve seen. Strongly recommend Jam. Hilarious.
I just love weird movies (except The Rocky Horror picture show, i probably expected too much).
Dogtooth is a good suggestion, but it's more like a convetional movie about weird people.
My favorite : Inland Impire "This is a story that happened yesterday. But I know it's tomorrow. "
