I loved Pulp Fiction and Blue Velvet,but I like good weird movies. Eyes Wide Shut was stupid,Boxing Helena was definitely weird. Hummingbird,I read the book American Psycho,it is an absolute piece of trash! The man at the book store even told me I didn't want to read it!I'm just glad I bought it at a used book store! Harold and Maude is weird,and great. So is Rocky Horror.

I didn't read the book American Psycho. I watched it on HBO after it had I had seen it on the roster several times. I think the murders were all in the guys mind or something but don't know for sure. It was certainly gross. One funny part was how all the yuppies were jealous of each other's business cards and were trying to one-up each other with new colors and fonts. Weird, sick movie -- the kind that makes you wish you had passed on it. If you haven't seen it -- Don't waste your time.

You want weird? Watch "Magnolia" with Tom Cruise. I absolutely loved the movie, but it isn't something you watch for any sort of entertainment value

Agreed, Spygirl, Magnolia, very weird movie. Um, come to think of it, was I the one who recommended it to you? I did like it. Finally got around to watching it for the second time.

No, I actually watched it when it first came out -- long before I came to TVCH. It has a lot of family therapy themes in it and a lot of my classmates watched it. Believe it or not, I've recommended it to clients for therapeutic reasons

Fabnsab, Being John Malkovich is a fantastic choice. That one was so weirdly original that it was truly unique. Everything about it was weird -the puppets, the half-floor, the concept of Malckovich playing himself as a man whose brain was being invaded by tourists! Yes, that one was dang WEIRD!

Out of Sight - George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. The first half is normal, then wham! It's like two different movies.

OKay,I was vacuuming the floor when this one came to me! Bad Leutenant (sp?) with Harvey Kietel. I actually kind of liked this movie,but it is bizarre,and disturbing. I like Harvey Kietel though.

In Out of Sight, Albert Brooks was almost unrecognizable. I didn't know it was him until the final credits.

Naked Lunch directed by David Cronenberg. Based on the novel by William S. Burroughs. It's one of those stories that's better on paper than the screen. A Clockwork Orange directed by Stanley Kubrick. Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess. I saw the movie first and had to read the book (which was excellent.) Brazil. I rented it only because Robert De Niro is in it but gave up watching after a half hour. Does anyone know if the movie gets any better after that?

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. The only movie I've ever walked out of...it was just too weird and disgusting, without any discernable redeeming value. Eraserhead is also pretty weird, but in a fascinating way. Especially if you've had a few tokes first. hehe..HEY that was a long tme ago

Babyruth, What a coinsidence. The Cook, etc. is the movie I was trying to think of to add to this list. Back about eight years ago Roger Ebert placed this weirdo movie on his "Year's 10 Best Movies " list. We rented the video based on his recomendation. Needless to say, we didn't like it! Too dang wierd!!!
