Favorite Trippy / Bizarre Movie? (Genesis, title, show, quote, performance)

cardboard adolescent · 10-01-2007, 04:41 PM

Here's some great weird movies I've been watching recently:

A Tale of Two Sisters - great artsy japanese horror
Naked Lunch, Videodrome, Crash - all from director David Cronenberg, all twisted and surreal. Naked Lunch was great though nothing like the book, Videodrome and Crash both take interesting looks at human sexuality and technology.
Breathless - great dreamlike movie from godard
Bug - the ultimate in paranoid psychodramas
Happiness - brilliant absurdist movie from Todd Solondz, its hard to pull off a dark comedy about pedophilia
Perfume - pretty twisted, beautiful imagery, strange plot
Pink Flamingos - mmm gotta love filth
Alice - weirdass claymation/live action czech version of alice in wonderland, utterly bizarre and pretty dark
The Saragossa Manuscript - the ultimate acid trip movie, a story within a story within a story going up to i think six permutations if i remember correctly, all weaving together to form a surreal fantasy

in general some more that i don't think have been mentioned:

Vertigo
Memento
Dark City
Dead Man

movies i'm about to watch:

open your eyes - original version of vanilla sky
scanners - cronenberg horror flick
cannibal holocaust - i don't remember where i even heard about this
ichi the killer - apparently the boredoms do the soundtrack? must see this.
metropolis
nosferatu
8 1/2 - weird surreal movie from fellini
vengeance trilogy
spoorloos
revolver
seconds
howl's moving castle
unbearable lightness of being

Some great movies there. REVOLVER is on there. A Scanner Darkly is great too. VIDEODROME is in my top 10 of all time. Try SALO from Pasolini. Some absolutely hate it. It's a diatribe on the modernisation of the western world (although it was made in 76) again some people are utterly repelled by this.

Which version of NOSFERATU is it? The original is stunning considering it was made in 1922!

It's the '79 Herzog remake.

Howl's Moving Castle is very good, my girlfriend likes anime so she had me watch it but I was really impressed by it.

Another good one that is anime, is Ergo Proxy, not as trippy as Howl's Moving Castle, but still really good.

I idiotically forgot He Loves Me He Loves Me Not.

Have you seen Jacob's Ladder Cardboard? That's another great movie.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is good as well I suppose, again, I haven't watched too many, but I thought that it was a pretty odd movie.

That movie simply is the best. I love it.
