The Little Girl Who Lived down the Lane - mid 70s movie with Jodie Foster who aged 11 sleeps with her creepy neighbor.

Eyes Wide Shut

Surprised not to see Dancer in the Dark mentioned. Bizarre, manipulative, painful.

Funny Games also weird in a nightmarish way.

“Blood Tea and Red String”

I hated this movie. Saw it in the theater; one of the few I've walked out of.

Definitely one of the first two that came to my mind. Whether you think it brilliant, pornographic or demented, it definitely qualifies as "weird".

The other movie that came to mind, is my top pick for "so bad that it's good (funny)". "They Saved Hitler's Brain". Originally produced in the early 60's, before it's theatrical release, they added additional footage in the late 60's which included hairstyles and clothing that were completely out of sync with the styles in the rest of the movie. And there was no effort to really make the two segments of the movie sync, so it's like two separate movie fragments joined for a true Frankenstein of a movie. And the original movie was pretty bizarre and bad to begin with.

Nocturnal Animals was weird (2016 dir Tom Ford, starring Aaron Johnson, Isla Fisher & Amy Adams)

A recent one - I Saw The TV Glow. We just saw it in the theater a couple of weeks ago.

I think it's undeniably very very weird. Also it just wasn't for me - but as I understand it, some other people, especially people who are trans and nonbinary, find it profoundly moving.

People naming US movies are minor league.

Playtime was not weird. It was a beautiful meditation on encroaching modernity and its inability to constrain the beautiful chaos of our human nature.

The extended nosepicking scene in Trafik, now, that one was a bit weird. Does not hold a candle to Nothing But Trouble, tho.

And to the PP who said Withnail and I, you philistine, that film wasn’t weird, it was damn well slice of life.

+1 seriously the Withnail and I person should get a 24 hour ban

Highway 61 (a favorite)
Cafe Baghdad (so good)
Scanners
