1. Labyrinth (1986)
This is pretty much self-explanatory. A famous singer has never so thoroughly scared me.

...yeah, I don't know how to explain this one other than giant, gruesome-looking rabbit costume.

3. Palindromes (2004)
Creepy. Just plain creepy. Mostly because of the 13-year-old main character wanting a baby and having sex with older men. See my review.

4. Bad Education (2004)
To preface, this is an excellent film. However, seeing Gael Garcia Bernal in drag was...strange. But damn, he's the sexiest man I've ever seen wearing women's clothing!

5. Love Songs (2007)
When Netflix recommended this to me, I didn't realize it would be so...musical (I know, I know, what did I expect from "Le Chansons D'Amour"?).

A lot of what goes on here is strange by, well, society's standards I suppose rather than my standards, but essentially, after a tragedy the main character really explores his sexuality to cope. Very weird when you pair it with singing. Entertaining none the less...

6. The Funhouse (1981)
This is so low budget, and so weird, and so...disturbing; teenagers attempt to use a fun house as a place to have sex, only to find a grotesque monster is sent to kill them. Even when the creepy old lady warns them that they are bad, bad kids! What, with their crazy hormones...(and seriously, who would have sex in a Fun House? What's wrong with the family car?)

This is definitely one of those scary movies that you rent to laugh hysterically at.

Paul Giamatti, seriously? Why? Thankfully I saw Sideways a couple of days later to restore my faith in him as an actor.

Indeed, a movie that takes place entirely in a phone booth IS weird. And somewhat pointless.

11. The Glass House (2001)
Okay, so these kids' parents died, so they stayed with a new family as suggested in the parents' will. How did everything go so horribly, horribly wrong then?

Man, when I saw this movie as a kid, it scared me. Never trust an adult that buys you a ton of new electronics. Come to think of it, this is like a modern day Hansel and Gretel...except their isn't a witch, and they don't want to eat them...

Whatever, it's still weird as fuck.

12. But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
This is weird because they did some crazy shit at this camp to make the campers straight again.

And actually, it is a rather cute film when you get past the fact that there are parents out there crazy enough to send their kids to "Straight Camps".

14. Spider-Man 3 (2007)
My "wtf" came when he was dancing in the street, and then also when he punched Mary Jane.

But it could have been the fact that when this happened, the theater went deadly silent and some little kid screamed out "He hit a girl!" Classic.

15. The Princess Bride (1987)
I don't GET this movie. Isn't the fact that the guy in here dies like 5 times just a little hard to believe?

It's weird because it makes no sense. And I suppose that's why people like it, and think it's funny, but...I just think it's creepy.

Wow, congrats for this list! I can't stop laughing!!
Posted : 1 year ago at Nov 19 13:37
I totally agree with Cloverfield and Lars And The Real Girl!!

And I want to watch The Science Of Sleep just because of the tagline "close your eyes, open your heart"... but when I saw some screenpictures I got a little (ok, a lot) WTF??????? hahahahaha

"He hit a girl!" HUAHUAAHUHAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAH I can't stop laughing! xD
Posted : 1 year ago at Nov 19 17:06
It was a perfect moment - great example of audience participation!

Science of Sleep was really excellent - it was a what the fuck movie, but in a good way.
Posted : 1 year ago at Nov 19 17:18
I must agree with you. Science of Sleep was such a good 'strange' movie!

I'd like to know just how exactly did you find Match Point weird?

Magnolia might just be my favorite movie evah, but - after three viewings - I don't find it weird. I also like Requiem for a Dream, Fight Club and Funny Games (1997), but don't find them that weird.

I apologize, because this might seem too "angry", and that wasn't my intention. Great list, and I'm probably going to use this as a recommendation, cause I like weird films :).

PS: Think you should add films like Brazil or Videodrome
Posted : 6 months, 1 week ago at May 15 16:27
Lol. This is really just personal opinion. I don't know why people think they should argue on certain films that I choose.
Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 21 22:23
If by weird you mean movies with different plots or unique photography, some of them are weird indeed. It's not quite a bad thing.. it's what make them special, I guess ;)

Some of this movies you just have to try again, like Match Point or Fight Club. Sometimes we just have to rewatch in order to get the point... or to find out that they are simply not your cupt of tea. It happnes, its all about opinion.
Another ones are maybe just not fun at all (like Borat), and the Perfume it's a book adaptation,wich is much better, by the way. It explains why they had an orgy.

But about one of them, I have to say smething: I'm Not There. I mean, are you a Bob Dylan fan, or have ever listened to his music? Because if you have not, you probably are never going to understand it... if it might help: all characters are representations of him. Very good, once you get it :)
