Just a hint, the guy's missing a few fingers and his tongue.. and is eating (drinking?) vomit out of a bowl.



Visitor Q and Happiness of the Katakuris were also bizarre (as are most Miike flicks) even his more "normal" segment of Three... Extremes was bizarre... but so beautifully shot.

Buford T Pusser

I'll give a Strong Agreement to those.

Cube was a strange one as well.

Giles

oops! I didn't notice I combined film titles together - both are bizarre.

the ending nearly made me vomit

Mullholland Dr. was a bit confusing. Robert Altman's Quintet used to boggle me a bit, but it's been years since I've seen it. I was a lot younger.

The Happiness of the Katakuris

Most bizarre film I've seen recently is It's All About Love, but loved the last scene with the "Flying Africans".

The Saga of Anatahan (1953)

It's a Japanese production, starring Japanese actors, telling the story of soldiers marooned on a remote island during and after World War II (of which they don't know ended).

Only that it's directed by Josef Von Sternberg, and while the actors speak Japanese, there are no subtitles. Sternberg narrates the action and paraphrases the dialogue. Also it was entirely filmed in studio, with the typical lush Sternberg sets.

One of the oddest, and most beautiful, films I've seen. And I love Bunuel but I'm so used to him that I don't find his films necessarily bizarre anymore (but I still find his works fantastic). Anatahan, though, I've seen only once and the strange artificiality and stylization still puzzles me. I terribly want to see it again.

All things David Lynch.
I watched Six String Samurai a few months, it was like Road Warrior on acid.

Da Thrilla

U-Turn

thing-fish24

Dwain Esper's "Maniac." Probably the worst film of all time. It's even more bizarre than Ed Wood's "Glen or Glenda".

for me, it was a couple of spanish language films:

Matador (Espana)

Entre tinieblas (Espana)

Hombre mirando al sudeste (Argentina)

Then another shout out for that phreaky phreaky Naked Lunch movie and the ever popular talking anus insect. (It baffles me to this day why that wasn't made into a Happy Meal promotion)

visitor Q

Ya damn skippy!! Still one of the best warped "happy" endings I've seen in a film. I knew I was suppose to feel good about it, but there was so much ambiguity about feeling that way based on the what transpired before hand.

I'll also throw out Atomik Circus. I had no idea what I was getting into the first time I viewed it. It felt like a dream ... with a WTF did I just experience feeling. Good stuff.

Lastly .. Series 7. It was so real (as if it could happen not so far in the future based on where reality TV is heading), yet so staged at the same time.

Ralph Jenkins

It may be The Holy Mountain (Jorodorosky).

I thought Mulholland Drive was pretty straightforward compared to Lynch's Lost Highway (or Eraserhead).

I should also mention Tsukamoto's Testuo: The Iron Man...

lemieux66c

I absolutely agree with that choice. I watched it a few months back at a friend's house and was thinking wtf throughout the entire movie.

TomOpus

It's threads like these where I get ideas for movies to check out

Good call. Bizarre and boring imo. Just crap really.

xia

Definetly agree.
