Well, the term weird is not too precise, but two movies came to mind.
Requiem for a Dream, which was not so much "weird" as disturbing, I thought.
Secretary was pretty bizzare, but I actually liked it.

Head (1968)
Starring the Monkees
I saw this movie on cable a long time ago. Before it played, I was excited cus I really liked the Monkees tv show. After the first 10 minutes of the film, I was scratching my head.
After looking this movie up on IMDB, I found a weird fact: This film was co-written by Jack Nicholson.
And under the trivia section, this was listed:

- Rumors abound that the title was chosen in case a sequel was made. The advertisements would supposedly have read: "From the people who gave you HEAD."

^sam^ - I have a R1 copy of Johnny Suede. It may be a canadian release, but it's a nice copy. I got mine off of eBay. You may want to shop around...

Whoa. This thread has returned from the dead. It even has danol in it. 
Anyway, the most recent weird movies I saw is In the Mood For Love. Although the cinematography is beautiful, I don't get the movie. The story did make sense especially after you put it together in your head, but I still don't get what the filmmaker intend to say. This calls for another viewing.

I second all Terry Gilliam and David Lynch flicks. However, if you are talking strange AND extremely enjoyable, it would have to be Mulholland Drive. The puzzling structure, the symbolism, and the extroadinary cinematography are all outstanding.
If you are talking just flat wierd, then Blue Velvet.
