Happiness by Todd Solondz: a dark comedy about among other things pedophilia. I remember Blockbuster didn’t carry it.

Brasil

Until the End of the World

That one about the destructive heavenly body about to obliterate the expensive wedding in the UK w/ Kirsten Dunst

Could go on and on...

The Skin I Live In (with Antonio Banderas).

It’s sick and weird and strange and awful and I hated it. I still feel nauseous thinking about it.

Everything everywhere all at once comes to mind

I was just coming here to say The Lobster.

Followed closely by Midsommar. BUT if you ever want to know what it feels like to do acid, it's a pretty good representation.

Omg yes….wasnt that with Robin Williams?

It was one of those films that you expected to be funny or at least good but it ended up being a very surreal and unpleasantly odd movie that was just…..off. Like Johnny Depp’s take on Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Just……too weird

Robin Williams was in a couple of dark comedies that were pretty weird. They were not light comedies: World’s Greatest Dad (benign title but very dark) and Death to Smoochie. Another not that weird but he is good as a weirdo: One Hour Photo.

One Hour Photo was extremely disturbing

Funny Games also weird in a nightmarish way.

There’s a lot of Lars Von Trier in this thread. And rightly so.

Antichrist by him. Very strange.

Watcher In the Woods

It was a 1980 DISNEY horror thriller…for kids!
Starred Bette Davis and Lynn Holly Johnson (ice castles).

I still can’t hear/see the name Karen without thinking of NERAK (Karen spelled backwards)

Agonizing and couldn't take more than ten minutes.

SPOILER ALERT

Blood and Lace with Vic Tayback (Mel in Alice). A young teen age girl is sent to an orphanage and kids are dying all over the place. Her mother was a hooker and the care taker (Tayback) has the hots for the new girl. Her mother always told her that her father was the first man she had sex with and she finally has to give in to Tayback who tells her that he knew her mother and that he took her virginity!

That was two hours of my life I'll never regret!!
