Weirdest movie you ever saw

Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
What is the strangest movie that you've ever seen that left you saying 'What the fuck did I just watch?'

I watched Alenjandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain a few nights ago, and that now tops my list.


A couple of other honorable mentions:

Lindsay Anderson's O Lucky Man

Michele Soavi's Cemetery Man (or Dellamore, Dellamorte).

Don't believe everything that you read.

Cemetery Man has to be up there for sure.

But I would probably say Eraserhead, possibly the weirdest of David Lynch's frequently weird body of work. I'm a Lynch fan, BTW, so weird movies are kind of a thing with me.

Carnival of Souls (the 1962 original) is very weird, too, and is one of my favorite classic horror movies.

And while the weirdness seems to have faded from walking dead-type movies today, the original Night of the Living Dead is pretty weird stuff at times.

As for Jodorowsky, one of the great tragedies of cinematic history is that his version of Dune didn't get made. Lynch's version actually has to be one of his least weird movies, which is odd given the source material.

Aside from Mulholland Drive from David Lynch which is quite possibly the most popular movie of that type, in the last few years I also got to watch Upstream Color (2013) and Goodbye to Language (2014). Upstream Color is some kind of extremely baffling experimental science fiction film (rather reminiscent of Mulholland Drive in terms of overall presentation), while Goodbye to Language is a French film by Jean-Luc Godard which mostly presents a bunch of weird successive flashbacks (that are apparently supposed to form some kind of deep narrative).

I'll be fully honest, these sorts of pretentious movies just make me fucking cringe to the highest degree imaginable. To me it's just an unmistakable version of The Emperor's New Clothes, where plenty of impressionable people just scream 'genius' in front of a totally absurd piece of art in fear of being the odd one out who simply 'doesn't get it'. Just read the reviews coming from numerous dumb critics to perfectly grasp what I mean: nobody ever has the audacity to call those nonsensical movies exactly for what they are. It's actually quite hilarious to observe when you've studied social psychology like I did.

A guy I knew in my early 20s who was studying art was an exceptional fan of Mulholland Drive; he watched it over a dozen of times and even kept a journal full of notes about it. We were both rather friendly toward one another, but I just kept confronting him and asking him what was the fucking point of his fascination. Yes, I get that this movie is supposedly about the disillusion of the whole Hollywood culture, but why obsessively camouflage that theme under a convoluted plot when it's something that just about any idiot already understands and can express in less than two sentences? And what exactly does anybody have to gain from investing hours of their time understanding what the movie is about just to extract an extremely deficient meaning out of it?

I've studied philosophy for a full year and read numerous philosophical authors, so please don't accuse me of being unable to delve into abstract concepts when it's actually something that I'm more experienced at than the great majority of people. And I could extend my criticism of snobbish pieces of art to paintings, photography, architecture, poetry or music just as well. If you don't have anything intelligent or meaningful to convey, please don't assume that adorning your flimsy subject matter with pretentious art is going to benefit anybody in any tangible or appreciable way.

So anyway, I'm the odd one out who simply doesn't get it... shame on me.

I haven't seen too much of Lynch's work apart from Blue Velvet. I liked Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead (The Romero originals).

I also thought of the first couple of Jean-Pierre Jeunet movies (Delicatessen and City of Lost Children) as deserving a nod for their strangeness.

Anything with Terry Gilliam involved. Some are weirder than others (e.g. Baron Munchausen) and they don't feel quite as surreal as Lynch even though they often are if you think about them closely.

The original 1922 Nosferatu and, for that matter, any of the German expressionist movies of that era (Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is another classic). Even the early German s-f Metropolis feels kind of weird today, though less so than the horror movies of that era.

Hands down, this is the weirdest thing I've ever sat through on a cold Saturday afternoon.



Sean Connery must've needed a paycheck. Because he certainly didn't give a fuck.

The film version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (forget the movie title) he was in, as the Green Knight, was pretty bad and pretty out there, too. Ditto the second Highlander. Connery is like Michael Caine that way: There was a period in his career where a paycheque counted for more than respectability.

I love horror movies, and I was working my way through a recommended horror movie list for Netflix last year. I made it to The Host and went in with really high expectations due to ratings and reviews. I... still can't say whether or not I liked it, but I can say it's definitely weird. It wasn't what I expected at all, and I don't know if I think of that as a complaint or compliment.

I probably should give it another watch at some point to better develop an opinion on it other than "Damn, that was weird."

I know of two "The Host" movies - one is a bad YA move about aliens called "souls" taking over people's bodies, and the other is an awesome Korean monster movie about a giant catfish monster that kidnaps a little girl. They're both weird, and I'd only recommend the second one - very Japanese kaiju feel to it.

I gotta go with WMM as Zardoz being the weirdest movie I've ever seen. Had no idea what was going on.

I like David Lynch movies, but I don't take them too seriously. I think he mostly just likes to fuck with people. I think Eraserhead has got some really funny moments. "We've got chicken tonight. Strangest damn things. They're man-made. Little damn things, smaller than my fist - but they're new!"

EDIT: You put up the poster! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!

The weirdest movie has to be DOME. With the Rock and Karl Urban... I have no clue to WTF I was watching but it was gory as hell... I usually don't do movies like this by myself.... I scare easily
And I jump at the slightest noise after watching it..

That looks good (using that term loosely). I'll have a look for it.

Weird Good: Wet Hot American Summer
Weird Bad: Crank 2 - High Voltage
Weird Confusing: Donnie Darko (they had to make up their own mythos and science babble to explain the events of the film, yes I’ve read up on all of it)

I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

Lobster for sure! It was good and I had just randomly picked it but still it was very weird the things that happened!

Grandly weird was Plan 9 From Outer Space


This weird movie was filmed mostly right here where I live.

The story line is bizarre!! But it's still a movie worth watching. And Maggie Gyllenhaal is - as always - pretty darn good.

I know everyone's definition for a weird movie can vary. Movies leaning toward weird, in my opinion, that I enjoyed are: Time Bandits, Brazil, Mulholland Drive, A Clockwork Orange, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Birdman.

The Wickerman was weird and truly awful. I also thought Hail Caesar was weird and probably the worst movie ever made by the Coen brothers, who usually make offbeat, quirky, but outstanding and very entertaining movies.

Un Chien Andalou.
A surrealist collaboration between Louis Brunel and Salvador Dali.
Twenty minutes of wierd.
But that was deliberate art-house weird.

Barton Fink was mainstream weird.

Thought about it and I've come to the conclusion that it wasn't weird.

Made me laugh but not as much as A Serbian Film.

I just haven't met a film that has made me feel uncomfortable.

A Clockwork Orange, maybe its because when i watched it i was very young. ( might have been 1979 ) I was like WTF was that?

I watched again older and didn't seem as bizzare, but to the topic, that movie at that time left me with that feeling.
