Weird Movies

[Nancy]

What are some of the "weirdest" movies you've seen? I can name two of them:

"SuperGirl" -- I watched this on TV in the early 80s, and I thought this movie was pretty lame....a woman with superpowers fighting a witch?? And that English butler was butt-ugly!

"The Terror" -- a 1960s movie that starred a young Jack Nicholson and his then-wife Sandra Knight. In one area in this movie was of that witch who was struck by lightning, and then burned to a crisp a second later after a black bird had flown by. The very ending of this movie is what's very odd to me....Jack carried Sandra to under a tree (after saving her from drowning in the dungeon), passionally kisses her on the lips, then he saw the black bird fly by. Jack looked at Sandra again, and guess what? Sandra's face was melting into a skeleton! Then that was the END of the movie!

What about you?

*Butterfly Effect" was pretty strange.

I have Supergirl on DVD. I thought it was an interesting movie.

The weirdest movie I've seen was Trainspotting. There's this freaky part where this guy sees this baby walking on the ceiling. The baby stops over the bed and turns his head 180 degrees.

Memento. Tripping but I love the plotline. Sure made you thinking!

Butterfly Effect, I agreed it is a strange movie-- I didn't like it although. I think I was already biased against Ashton K. being the main character. I think also the depressed scenes e.g. children being molested made it so uninteresting for me. Too... lugubrious for me actually. It went way too far for my tastes. If the "bad outcomes" tone down, it might be a good movie. The continous usage of the horrible and devastating outcomes (molestion, hooker, drugged-up, abuse, etc) just ruined the film for me.

What about "Donnie the Darko"?????? It was the WEIRDEST movie but the BEST. I LOVE IT. It is a bit scary when you see that malicious-looking bunny but otherwise, the movie is SOOOO intrigued!

I saw those movies. They were weird too.

Did you see the alternate ending for Butterfly Effect? One ending was good. The other was just... weird and freaky.

Donnie Darko was too weird to understand. Many of my friends saw the movie and couldn't understand the ending.

Finally, Memento... a good movie. It's a movie I usually recommend to people who are interested into short-term memory and psychology.

There's this freaky part where this guy shoves some drugs up his ass. He then suffers explosive diarrhea and realizes that he crapped out his drugs. He then dives into the toilet into a fantasy world of toilet water to find the drugs and brings them back out.

Mulholland Dr.

Now, that is a mind-fucking film!

So was the movie, Blue Velvet. Both of these were directed by David Lynch. One of the most bizarre minds out there, I'll say. Saw is pretty twisted though, I would rate it to be barely average, but a great concept I must say.

Donnie Darko, another bizarre one. I saw this one years ago, and I just saw the director's cut. Though I must say I prefer the original version because the director's cut is more for the simple-minded movie viewers. The original challenges the viewer on a higher level by hiding the details, it's like a puzzle that you have to solve.

A Clockwork Orange, a brilliant film... but a really crazy and strange film. There's many movies that I've found to be quite strange. But it would take me all night long to write them down.

Indeed, Clockwork Orange is a weird movie. I saw that years ago. I had friends recommend it and it took me a few years to muster up the time to actually rent it. After renting it, I was speechless at the end. Heh!

I never really appreciated that movie-- given the fact that it was made during an era where women were belittled to sex objects and succumbed to the worst roles and gave the illusion of what women, back then, should be like-- nymphomanic who enjoyed being raped, manulipated etc. And this was also the time when the female characters got shafted by the male roles' presence on the films. The female characters were worthless without some male counterpart to give her an overall meaning. Dependent, love-sick, prey.
Mind you, I have been researched women in films for my women's studies so I have shed a new perspective on those movies I used to watch.
It was interesting how the movie was to show you how much the society was at control of somebody's mind-- the extremes that one would go far to correct one's abnormal behavioral norms. The movie sort of gave the audience a glimpse in the future's penitentiary system. The usage of psychological tactics (the aversive method where the guy vomited every time he thought of something bad) and the failure to behave like a "normal guy" because everybody else was fuckedup as well so what defines "normal"???

What about "Being John Malkovick"? I know I did mispell his name... But hopefully you know what I am talking about. I love the scene when John Malk. went into his own brain's portal and ended up being in a resturant on a date with his OWN clone... and then he slowly realized that everybody looked exactly like him and that they only say "Malkovick" for everything. He was about to scream NO but instead only "MALKOVICK!" came out of his mouth. He freaked out at this exquiste dimesion and ran around the resturant, bumped into his clones who went "Malkovich malkovich?" at him.

I did like Butterfly Effect...agreed, it was a weird film, but the concept was good and it made me think. We all spend so much time wondering about the what if's, and I think this movie did well.

I can't really think of any other movies I didn't really like because they were "weird..." I did see Mulholland Drive. Didn't interest me at all.

That would be...

Being John Malkovich
