Suggest a *Good* but also weird movie.

[Shekwan]

I'm wondering what sort of entertaining and well made weird movies the CFC crowd could suggest. I have just rewatched Gozu and I consider it to be the epitome of the genre.

A taster:

I also want to stress the GOOD part. There are plenty of movies that are unentertaining weirdness, but there is only a select few that are watchable and weird. I'm hoping CFC can help us discover that few.

Well?

12 monkeys? Directed by terry gilliam. It's bruce willis traveling in time looking for the source of a virus.

Mulholland Drive. A David Lynch Movie, so that could tell you right then and there that it is a weird Movie.

 

[Shekwan]

Two great suggestions!

Have yet to see Mulholland Drive.

Eternal sunshine.

Time Bandits

Night Watch (Dochnoi Dozor) is pretty high on the creepy scale but incredibly BA at the same time. But I have only watched the Russian (the original) version...

 

[Earthling]

Brazil, another terry gilliam I think.

It's one of my favourite Xkcd strips. I just love that primer chart.

2001 is pretty weird.

Another vote here for Eternal Sunshine.

All the studio Ghibli stuff?

La grande bouffe, a French film in which four men spend a weekend eating themselves to death. The bit where the toilet explodes is particularly enjoyable.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Delicatessen is a great movie. (EDIT: It's French with subtitles).
