    Did anybody ever see "A Boy and His Dog"? Written by Harlan Ellison, starring a pre-Miami Vice Don Johnson as a horny teenager in a post-nuclear war world, traveling about looking for women with a telepathic dog who has a gift for finding them. Definitely way up there on the weirdness-meter.

    I can't listen to "Stars and Stripes Forever" without thinking of the end of this movie.

    Another bizarro one is "Dark Star", an early 70's low-budget sci-fi semi-spoof. The best scene there is when the space ship crew is attacked by an alien, with the same size and shape as a beach ball. One of the guys shoots it, and the escaping air from it causes it bounce wildly off the walls, ceiling, floor, etc.

    Best movie I thought I'd hate:

    Orlando, starring Tilda Swinton - "Young nobleman Orlando is commanded by Queen Elizabeth I to stay forever young. Miraculously, he does just that. The film follows him as he moves through several centuries of British history, experiencing a variety of lives and relationships along the way..." from www.imdb.com

    The best weird movie:

    I am the king of weird movies. Of course, anything by David Lynch is going to be weird, so I won't even list any of his.

    Memento (C'mon! The movie was backwards!)

    Naked Lunch

    Memento was a weird movie. I had to keep rewinding it to try to figure what the heck was happening. Do you think it was somewhat like "Reservoir Dogs"?

    Memento like Reservoir Dogs? Not really. Reservoir Gods was straight-up pulp.

    Strained evil and and clumsy innocence inadvertently collide with no resolution. I love this movie.

    the first time i saw, "Rocky Horror Picture Show" I found it a bit weird...

    I also thought that about Pink Floyd's, "The Wall"

    Re-reading this thread reminded me it's time to watch Bubba Ho-Tep again.
