Don't forget the "endearing" laugh.

Watched some film about the raid on Entebbe a few weeks back. Had Rosamund Pike and Daniel Bruhl in it.

 

Was expecting a big shoot out and lots of action when the Israeli soldiers storm the airport but the director decided to inter link the action with a ballet scene where all the dancers strip off to loud banging music. Fucking weird and spoiled any suspense or momentum of what should have been the most entertaining part of the film.

 

One of the Israeli soldiers had a girlfriend who was a ballet dancer so somehow they shoehorned that into the main scene of the film.

hahaha i hated that film for EXACTLY that reason.

This one is rightly fucked up.

Not least because in that screenshot, Harry Potter's chamber of secrets is getting a good seeing to by the prisoner of Azkaban's goblet of fire.

[Shitty Arse]

That screenshot is a good candidate for Up The Arse Corner

[Mudface]

Apostle- batshit, sort of Wicker Man type film. A bloke goes to rescue his sister who's been kidnapped and taken to a remote Welsh island- it's based on the author's experiences of a weekend in Rhyl.

Mulholland Drive. 

 

Just really weird. And silly. 

 

Holy Motors is mad too. 

Mulholland Drive is the weirdest film I’ve ever seen, but for me, gripping. A masterpiece. Once you figure most of it out (I’ve seen it 3 times) it can only be admired. As for the two female leads, one of the hottest love scenes on film.

That film can give you a migraine.

Not a film, and as enjoyable as it was, I always finished watching Chorlton and the Wheelies thinking "What the fuck was that about?"

The scissors freak me right out in that. It's brilliant but really uncomfortable to watch.

Most of the stuff by David Lynch I’ve seen is weird. Good though. Also Cronenburg and Korean cinema. Stanley Kubrick has obviously made some classics but the ending of 2001 a Space Odyssey was completely fucking hatstand

Did he make a film called Crash, where people liked having sex with open wounds or something? That's weird. 

 

And The Room is just an obviously weird film. I did not hit her, I did not. Oh, hi Mark.

Have to admire Johansson for starring in this. The beach scene is horrible, as is the ending. It's one of those films that you are glad you watched but even Scarlett Johansson naked won't entice you to watch it again.

I'm afraid i beg to differ.

I know it's slightly off topic but this post about a kids show got me remembering a cartoon series I remember called Ludwig, absolutely mental and made no sense. Anyone remember?

Peter Jackson made a really weird horror movie in his early days - Bad Taste. That was weird.

Mainly because it's just him showing off effects ideas and shot it with his mates over 2/3 years. 

 

Braindead (dead alive) is the real deal (think it was his next film), totally messed up Freudian horror, pushing all those clichés to absurd, gory extremes. It's gross and I never want to see it again. It's wonderful. His following films The Frighteners and Heavenly Creatures pretty weird in their own ways too.

 

Seventh continent is one I wouldn't recommend but a really odd film that leaves you feeling awful for not feeling awful sooner.

 

On the other hand everyone should see Happiness of the Katakuris, a batshit musical about a family opening a guesthouse where every guest dies. Genuinely glorious film.

 

Edit: fucking hell I forgot about Meet the Feebles. Jackson's subversion of the Muppets, probably the weirdest of the lot.

Awaydays.

 

The whole thing makes no sense whatsoever. It's supposed to be a footy hooligan film yet no one ever mentions what team they support or what teams they are going to fight against. They just get on a train somewhere then fight a load of randoms ubder a bridge and it moves to the next scene. They are allegedly Tranmere fans yet they all talk like they are in Bread or Manc actors in Brookside.  "Come ed lad com der pub, its gonna be a grin" by some lad who lives in Heswall. They remind me of lads from Formby and Crosby on holiday trying to be scouse until someone from Toxteth shows up.

 

The firm are basically just a load of art students who would be deemed to poncy to be in Hollyoaks but somehow turn up at train stations to fight the police and batter/stab hard looking bastards who are 20 or 30 years older than them.

 

Stephen Graham is about 40 yet hangs around with a load of 18 year olds like Jimmy Saville. 

 

The whole film has some weird homoerotic sub storyline between the two main characters and it's like you're channel surfing between Green Street and some gay French porn film with a joy division soundtrack.

 

The "top boy" of the firm is some gay lad who lives on his own in a flat by the sea with glitter wallpaper and has a noose in his bedroom for no apparent reason. He regularly walks down to the docks to tell his mates how he wants to be a sailor and spouts poetry.

The clothes and haircuts are terrible, too. 

 

Have you read the book? I read it years ago, but recall it being much better than the film, which is terrible.

Yes, bought the book about 20 years ago, it was actually good because it told a story and you actually knew what was going on like who they were playing each week and why they were fighting them.

 

Also the bird he picks up in the pub when he's playing pool with his uncle is an actual character in the book. In the film she is just some slag he pushes on the couch before he tries to bang her.

 

It's like they tried to make the film some cool, edgy thing without bothering to explain the storyline.

La Cabina ...The Telephone Box 

I remember watching this when I was a kid it’s a brilliant little horror film from Spain that scared the shit out fo me ...

Proves with horror films sometimes less is more as it’s only on for half an hour and if you’ve nothing better to do it’s well worth a watch 

 

Or if you prefer it with subtitles...

I had a spell of finding and watching the old "video nasties" in the early 2000s and by far the most bizarre one I watched was Island of Death.

 

It's shot and set on Mykonos and centers around a couple who are hellbent on killing "perverts" in a variety of ways; I've never seen a horror where someone is decapitated with an excavator blade!

 

Turns out this couple are actually brother and sister!

[The-Sir]

 

This was pretty odd. Fun fact - George Harrison was originally lined up to play the jesus guy but he turned it down as he opposed the nudity scenes.
