OK guys/gals lets have a little fun. Now I don't watch a lot of TV, maybe a couple hours every week (if that), but last night I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd see if there was a good movie on cable. I decided on "BUG" with Ashley Judd & Harry Connick Jr. DUDE!!! that was one of the weirdest freakin movies I've ever seen. So here is the fun part, What are your top 3 weird movies? Mine, in no particular order; (These are not necessarily BAD, just weird.) A Clockwork Orange Blue Velvet BUG OO (Someone took the brown acid while writing these scripts) (Message edited by olieoliver on February 16, 2009) | ||

Weird is what David Lynch does best! How about: Eraserhead Blue Velvet Mulholland Drive I did a paper on "Blue Velvet" for a college English course. Turned out the teacher was a David Lynch and "Blue Velvet" freak, too. Got an "A" for the paper and course! College was definitely WEIRD. | ||

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - or any other Lynch! Gothic - there are several with this title - I refer to the 1987 Gabriel Byrnes/Julian Sands/Natashia Richardson flick (definitely not to be confused with Gothika) Six-String Samurai - absolutely not to be missed! David T - The Big Lebowski?!?!?!? That's not weird - just the greatest movie ever made! Peter | ||

Hmm - "Uh, Dear, I need to increase the cable bill by adding Showtime so I can watch a weird movie with Ashley Judd making out with another chick"....nope, that ain't working. Guess I'll have to put that one on the "watch out for" list. Peter | ||

I love BAD movies. Really bad ones. One of the worst is The Terror with Jack Nicholson and Boris Karloff. Another is The Brain That Wouldn't Die. A really funny one is Lust In The Dust. | ||

i saw bug... didn't think it was that weird, but being a complete horror movie nerd, that's not surprising. you want weird, watch black sheep (not the chris farley one), about zombie sheep in new zealand... that one's way out. and awesome. | ||

Natural Born Killers: a 1994 satirical crime film directed by Oliver Stone about two mass murderers and the media coverage given to them. It is based on a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino that was heavily revised by Stone with writer Dave Veloz and associate producer Richard Rutowski. Wild at Heart: a road movie and includes bizarre, almost supernatural events and off-kilter violence with sometimes overtly heavy allusions to The Wizard of Oz and strong references to Elvis Presley and his movies that found their way into screenplay as Lynch was writing it. Mad Max: a 1979 Australian post-apocalyptic action thriller film directed by George Miller and written by Miller and Byron Kennedy. I was working as a projectionist when this film was released. I had such a hard time following the "thread" of the story that I was convinced that I had assembled the movie out of order (movies were usually delivered to me as six small reels which I would splice together on 2 larger reels). | ||

i loved natural born killers, but i thought it was kind of interesting to note that quentin tarantino insisted his name be removed from the film due to how much stone changed his original screenplay. some more crazy movies: firecracker, starring mike patton. not very good, pretty awful actually. but definitely weird. freaks!!! come on. gooble gobble gooble gobble, one of us. classic. brazil. or any terry gilliam in general. the fisher king, 12 monkeys, etc. i saw a movie recently called 'wristcutters: a love story', that's not terrible, but not so great either. BUT, it has tom waits in it. and that's enough for me. | ||

"the scene with dennis hopper yelling mommy is a classic" I have heard - I don't recall where - that the original idea was, instead of nitrous, to have him sucking helium. Some suit told Lynch no, doing her while yelling "Mommy" in a high voice was just too sick. Peter "It never got weird enough for me." - Bill Murray as H.S. Thompson in Where the Buffalo Roam | ||

My Boy Bubby; don't know who made it, but it makes a David Lynch movie look like a cartoon. This is a class of weird nobody has gone too. Yes, including Blue Velvet. | ||

Mike. Wild at Heart isn't weird, it's where my band found it's name ;-) I'll submit for consideration Razorback. A giant pig is terrorising the Australian outback. it doesn't get much weirder than this. | ||

I can't believe no one has mentioned Killer Klowns from Outer Space. My daughter managed to find it on DVD and gave it to me a couple of years ago. That one tops my list. I'll also jump on the Blue Velvet bandwagon. Great movie! | ||

It doesn't make my "Top Three Weird" list, but, on a clown note, if you're in the mood for an evening of twisted sickness, check out Vulgar. For more kinky weird, try Crash (the 1996 James Spader/Holly Hunter one, not the 2004 Don Cheadle/Matt Dillon vehicle). Peter | ||

Cozmik, ditto Vulgar and Crash. The former was depressingly bad and hopelessly bizarre and nihilisitic...the latter was just plain wrong, although it does have the Wachowski Matrix brothers in the credits. In the Lynch catalog, to my mind, the only film of his that comes close to Eraserhead for pure WTF factor is Mulholland Drive. Fun exercise: while watching MD, keep a pen and paper at hand and try to jot down the plot points. At the finish of the film, try to connect the points into a chromatic, cohesive whole. It CAN be done! | ||

How about "The Loved One." Satire on the funeral business, 1965. Pretty strange plot, and as I recall, almost hallucinogenic in style at times. . . or maybe that was just me. | ||

Another swell clown movie is "Shakes the Clown", with Bob Goldthwaite. Once you see Florence Henderson in this one, you'll never look at Carol Brady the same again. | ||
