Yeah - the Peter Greenaway films are a bit disturbing, but awesome to look at - just watched "The Pillow Book"

 

I don't think anyone has mentioned 'Adaptation" - I haven't seen it, but it is about a man writing a screenplay about a non-fiction book (the Orchid Thief), and some general weirdness.

 

Donnie Darko - Schitzophrenic teenager, time travel, and an evil bunny.

 

Matthew Barney's Cremaster art films

 

 

and "the Muppets Take Manhatten"

The Pillowbook. That was completely twisted. I was pretty disturbed by that one. Not at all what I expected. hellno3d.gif

Yeah I haven't seen the Cremasters series, I need to at some point. What did you think of it?

 

I only saw the most recent one (#3?) - it was definitely visually stunning, and adequately disturbing in parts. I found it to be a bit self-indulgent overall. I have friends who have seen the whole series -

 

Re: the Greenaway movies - I liked Prospero's Books - Again, primarily for its visual impact. But I was also in a mode of watching many Shakespeare movie adaptations and interpretations at the time. Speaking of which - anyone seen 'Scotland, PA?'

The "making of" Russian Ark is pretty cool when you see how close they came to blowing 2 years of preparation in the first 45 minutes of filming.

 

Kronos, nice weirdness.

 

Henry, too real, but The Borrower, okay.

 

For fans of Memento, The Follower.

 

Movies that go for weirdness usually don't have the same impact that unintentional weirdness can. The strangest thing I ever saw is two brief scenes in The Babysitters' Club Movie (if there is only one) but you might be asleep when they go by. You might be asleep before you put your hand on the case.

 

For intentional weird, I'd go with Man Bites Dog, but all I know I learned in Conventional Video.
