Weirdest movie ever?

Once watched Blue Velvet and Clockwork Orange back to back. An odd movie night.

 

Couple more:

"Black Swan"
"Pan's Labyrinth"
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

And a couple of oldies but goodies:

"Wizard of Oz"
"Alice in Wonderland"

 

I never thought Eternal Sunshine was weird. Just beautiful and perfect.

 

If I'm not mistaken, it was not a Best Picture nominee, right? Neither was "Almost Famous" from that time period.

It is remarkable how badly and how frequently the Academy whiffs.

 

You're probably right, though. More like quirky than weird. Along the lines of "Groundhog Day" or "Memento."

 

I still haven't seen "Almost Famous." I just figure I won't like it, since I don't like period pieces (yeah, that's a stretch) or rock and roll. Someday I'll give it a shot... but I'm afraid of the "Animal House" effect. Finally watched that and thought it was terrible.

 

Oh, and I have "Wonderland" on DVD. Still haven't watched it.

 

I'm with you on "Animal House."

I'd give "Almost Famous" a chance if I were you, though. The period piece aspect is more incidental than anything.

 

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

To this day I can't understand it.

 

Fucking Labyrinth. I hated that movie. And I developed a David Bowie phobia.

 

Really? It's a brilliantly funny satire of the nuclear era.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

"Eternal Sunshine" and "Almost Famous" are definitely the two movies I've watched the most from the early 2000s. I love them both.

 

Crash comes to the top of my list - a dark dark movie.

Would also add The Doors
