Strangest movie you've ever seen

[PhilaYank36]

For some reason, I have been thinking about Barton Fink (which I saw in freshman year film class) lately. That movie had me saying/thinking WTF from beginning to end...ESPECIALLY the end. Any other movies out there that make you think you just did three speed-balls in a row?

Natural Born Killers ranks up there, but then again so does Songbird

1. Natural Born Killers.
2. The Cell.

I'm not usually a member of the d_b police, but I'm making a citizen's arrest since this thread was so recent ...

Pootie Tang was pretty strange, but I thought it was really funny.

 

[kokane_muthashed]

Yeah, this thread is ringing a bell ....

But, I'll play ...

"The Serpent and the Rainbow"
"Exorcist II"
"Shortbus"
"Pi"
"Brazil"
"I Heart Huckabees"
"Irréversible"
"Behind the Green Door"

out of recent movies, i thought "bug" was kind of strange..

"Jacob's Ladder" comes to mind for me ... really weird.

Concur with "Barton Fink." I really dig the Coen Brothers, but that movie just really doesn't resonate with me at all.

Some others: "The Beach," "Phantasm," "UHF," "Eraserhead," "Mulholland Drive," etc.

Has to be Performance, a 1970s film starring Mick Jagger. Weirdest thing I've ever seen. It was like one long acid trip. Was forced to watch it as part of a Lit class.

As I said elsewhere, perhaps an earlier thread, Ed Wood and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

 

[friend of a friend]

Just about anything by John Waters.

If you want to figure out Barton Fink -- as much as it can be figured out -- just go out on the web and do a little reading.

The Coens had writer's block during another project and wrote Barton Fink as an excercise to try and get out of it.

The hotel probably represents a writer's mind, if that helps...

Off the top of my head,
Lost Highway, Clockwork Orange and 9MM.

Physician heal thyself.

Yeah, good luck with no ****in' head.

Memento.

I can't believe I'm the first one saying this - Labryinth, complete with David Bowie in way-too-tight pants.

I believe that one made the other thread.

Un chien andalou

It's a 16-minute silent movie by Salvador Dali.
I saw it in a film class in college. Most ****ed-up thing I've ever seen in my life.
