Some oldsters might know this one - A Boy and His Dog. It must be from the 1970's because it stars a young Don Johnson. Best ending ever.

I just like the ending - classic - you would never see that from a Hollywood flick now.

No one mentioned Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange'? Yet.

This is one of my favorite movies, but strange as they come.

"Brazil" is right up there as one of my favorite movies. Quite strange, and yet so strong and insightful as it pokes fun at society as a whole.

Bubba Ho Tep. Strange movie, but funny.

Apocalypto. Stunning, gut-wrenching visuals and a brutal depiction of humanity. Only Mel could have the vision/budget for this. As far as one can possibly get from subtlety. Disgusting, bizarre, schocking, distrubing.

But worth watching.

Star Trek. I find it strange that they've been able to justify making more than one sequal.

I'm pretty sure this was originally from "An American Werewolf in London".

Weird movies I've seen and can't help but watch again:

1) Killer Klowns from Outer Space
2) Mulholland Drive
3) Good Burger
4) Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

The original Funny Games was very strange, and interesting. Haven't seen the American remake yet, although I believe it is done by the same director.

Love this one; we have it on DVD and probably watch it every year around Halloween.

The first one that popped into my head when I saw the thread title was Videodrome. Cronenberg directing James Woods and Sonja Smits.

Also, I highly recommend Bruce MacDonald's road movie trilogy: Roadkill, Highway 61, and Hard Core Logo.
