Australias weirdest movie by far lol
Didn't think Bad Boy Bubby was that weird. "The Cars that Ate Paris" was the weirdest Aussie Film I can remember.

Theorem, Medea and Pigsty by Pier Paolo Pasolini are weird little films that I still have a little trouble understanding. Stunning films to watch, and very hypnotic, but after 10 or so viewings I still have little idea of what's going on.

Blow Out (La Grand Bouffe) by Marco Ferrari is a film about 4 guys a prostitute who try and kill themselves by stuffing their faces. They do nothing but eat, eat and fart through the entire 90 minutes.

But without a doubt the weirdest films I have ever seen is Themroc. It's about a French worker who gets bored with the dreary 9 to 5 existance, so he and his sister bricks in the doorway to his bedroom, and knocks out the back wall and begins living life like cavepeople. The even begin communicating like cavepeople with grunts instead of language. Then the rest of inhabitants of the Apartment block and the adjacent apartment block begin doing it as well. Very, very weird. It was shown on SBS about 10 years ago.

This topic starts, and ends with this movie - Tetsuo

Watched it on the weekend, absolutely bizarre. About a bloke who accidentially kills a metal fetishist and then turns into metal himself while being hunted by the possesive demon of the metal fetish guy who moves from person to person. His penis turns into a massive drill - full of sexual imagery and violence - Japanese, black and white.

Absolutely bizarre.

Not usually my cup of tea - "Right place, right time" - well, kinda...

If you want to talk about bizarre Japanese films, try and locate any film from the "Guinea Pig" Series. Incredibly gross, stomach churning don't no whats. If you can sit through an entire film, you are a pretty sick puppy.

Amen to that. Charlie Sheen started a panic about snuff films in the US when he gave one to the FBI because he thought it was real. Flowers of Flesh and Blood I think it was. Too many minutes of some guy dressed as a samurai cutting a girl apart.

Can't remember exactly what it was called, but has anyone seen Strangeland or Strangetown or something similar? It is exactly that, STRANGE!

Two bizarre and I mean bizarre as f**ked up psychological problems rather than weird 'what is going on with this'!

1. Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls. Totally whack! Although I love Russ Meyer's work.

2. The Doom Generation with Rose McGowan. Great film but the script writer is obviously a seriously sick puppy.

Some of my favourite bizarre movies not already mentioned...

Maelström
Abre Los Ojos (Much better than Vanilla Sky!)
The Book of Life (OK, not too bizarre but a great film!)
Fantastic Planet (a disturbing 70s sci-fi animation)
The Secret Advebtures of Tom Thumb

I know there are more, I will add some when I remember ;)

Casablanca with Humphey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman is very weird. Starts off as a conventional WW2 love story, then two thirds through the film there's a scene where for no reason at all everybody in the bar starts singing the Fitzroy club song. In French. Then back to the love story. What was going on there??

Well, the film WAS made in 1943...a year before the Lions' last flag.

A Japanese movie I mentioned in another thread recently is called Audition. It is on SBS tonight (Friday) and is worth watching for anyone that doesn't mind something that is a bit bizarre and a bit disturbing.

It would come under the horror genre and it has a real psychological edge to it.

It has a long build up and apart from a couple of early signs you would have no idea of the 'horror' that comes later in the movie.

The build up certainly sets the tone well for the last part of the movie which certainly will hit you like a tonne of bricks, expecially if you don't know what's coming, which is the best way to go into this movie.

Yeah...gut wrenching stuff.

Had a very hard time sitting through a certain sequence in that film, not just because what had happened, but the reasons for it. I wanted to yell at the screen - "No stop! he likes you! He really likes you!"

They Live!

Starring Rowdy Roddy Piper as a construction worker who joins a group of people who believe that aliens have taken over the world. They have these sunglasses that when they wear them, they can so see who is alien and who is human.

Some absolutely hilarious moments in this very bizarre movie!
