Since I'm a strange person, I love strange and freaky movies. So tell me...what's the strangest, most twisted movie you've ever seen? On Showtime, they show a lot of these Japanese horror flicks, and I find them very entertaining! One of the wackiest that I've seen (only parts of) was "Female Trouble" with Divine.

You might want to check out Donny Darko. It's rather ... odd.
I recall finishing the movie and saying "WTF!?".

Brazil by Terry Gilliam is a little mainstream and a little strange, I love it. Feel the same about Zardoz, Blow Up and If . Especially If.
For someone who loathes anything with subtitles I found myself immersed in Ringu, the original version of the ring.
I'm sure I'll be able to think of a few dozen more to add.
Oh yes, The Wicker Man .

If you want to watch one of the most sappy, wierd, old horror movies out there. Look no further than...
"Don't look in the basement"
One word to describe that movie.
Wow.
Not scary at all, but certainly weird.

I think the movie Saw would have to be close to the top of my list. Gives me shivers just thinking about it.

Another vote for Eraserhead.
For more mainstream but still a bit jarring:
- The Crow
- Pink Floyd's The Wall
- A Clockwork Orange
- Rocky Horror Picture Show
- Fight Club
- Blue Velvet (another Lynch - I've seen it only in parts and/or intoxicated, though)

I've heard of "Eraserhead" several times, but have never seen it yet. I think this is now a "must see" on my list. Oh...and "Saw"...I love that movie! I just bought "Saw II", and I'm looking forward to it watching it this weekend. Thanks for all the suggestions!

I can (and do) sit through just about any horror / sick / twisted movie there is without a twinge. I guess I’m a bit demented in that regard.
So far the movies that have given me the creeps were the original Texas chainsaw massacre and the exorcist. I can sit through them both now (but not comfortably), but twenty some odd years ago, they hit me hard. I had to leave the movie theater twenty minutes into the exorcist and had nightmares for months.
Then there was Jaws……..I was about 7 years old and a lady behind me kept screaming. My mom couldn’t get me to take a bath after that for weeks. I wouldn’t even play in the irrigation ditches after that one (and what kid doesn’t’ do that in 100 deg Nevada weather).
House of wax was just gross.
The original Snuff was sick as hell. Not knowing if it really happened or not made it worse. I still wonder about that. Sick, sick video……..
Then there are all the Faces of Death videos. Can’t watch them after being in combat. Can’t even believe I watched them when I was younger…….
