The acting's bad and there's absolutely no story. But I love the set design, the soundtrack, the cast, and the OTT-ness of it all. It's one of those so bad it's good thingamajigs.

Pink Floyd's The Wall

it's impossible to fail when addressing favourites, dummy.


the wall is an excellent call, but some cunt stole my copy. :X
 
200 Motels
I'm not sure I would describe this as a "favorite" but I tried watching this stoned and rolling the other day and jeez... It fucked with my head so hard I had to stop after 30 minutes.
And I thought the Monkee's movie "Head" was weird. But in terms of weirdness, 200 Motels is in a league of its own.

theres alot but weirdest by far....."FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS"

the only movie ive ever watched and had no iea what it was about (exept the obvious drug crazed vegas trip) but why they were there what they were doing ...no idea? lol

till i watched it again
 
A lot of weird films have been mentioned that I agree with.. but I have to go with "Naked Lunch" (1990?).
 
Happiness by todd solondz.
Parents - the 80's movie by bob belaban.

Let semantics be semantics. I think (or, at least hope in self-interest) that we all know what a strange or weird film is when we see it. I guess leaving the term up to interpretation is part of the fun! So, what's your favorite? What makes it so interesting to you? Yay!? :)

"The Holy Mountain" by Alejandro Jodorowsky.

More information on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holy_Mountain_(1973_film)

This movie is so dreamlike and surreal, certainly a trip in and of itself. One who views this without drugs might very well question if he is on a drug while viewing it. It provides a psychedelic experience without need for a drug. That is the best way I can sum it up. Here is a link to the movie trailer:

Based on my past experience, I feel that I should mention that this film might be a bit too much to handle if you are already on drugs, but it would certainly be an interesting experience.

I also highly recommend "Santa Sangre" and "El Topo". The films are readily available on most torrent trackers, especially on closed-forum tracker sites.
 
The Holy Mountain was seriously seriously great!!! Totally a good add to this list.

I saw a few mentions of Takashi Miike but didn't see anyone mention Gozu in particular, I could have missed it though. It is seriously bizarre in the best way possible. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361668/

Plot from IMDB: Minami, a member of the Azamawari crew, highly respects his Aniki (brother) Ozaki who has saved his life in the past. However, lately Ozaki's eccentricities (like claiming that a Chihuahua hs sees is a 'Yakuza attack dog') have been making everyone wonder about his sanity. Chairman Azamawari is unsympathetic to Ozaki's little outbursts and secretly orders Minami to take Ozaki to a disposal facility in the city of Nagoya. There, the fate of these two follows a twisted path filled with violence, mother's milk, strange locals, and ultimately the disappearance of Ozaki's corpse which Minami now desperately tries to recover.

You say weird and I immediately think of Cronenberg and Lynch.

Without much deliberation, I'd have to go with...

Lost Highway, directed and co-written by Lynch.

Cronenberg's Crash is up there as well.

Crash still permeates the weird centers of my mind to this day. Videodrome is just as amazing (even with archaic things like stomach vagina VCR's).

I've yet to see Blueberry but I hear it's amazing.

Good calls to Ichi the killer and 200 Motels, some darkly weird shit.

Memento and Primer are both amazing movies that fuck with one of the most basic/essential pieces to any story: plot.

I don't know the name, but it was on tv only two or three times when i was a kid. It was an 80's movie about this family that just slowly dies throughout the movie. I don't remember a lot. Through random mishaps people keep dying (the dad is listening to the radio in a bathtub and it falls in, i think a daughter falls down the stairs or out of a tree or something.. it's really fuzzy, i last saw it when i was like six).. I don't know, but the whole family were ghosts fading away at the end i think. I just remember watching it and being so confused and scared out of my mind, thinking that was going to happen to my family. Am i just taking excerpts from an existing movie or does anyone know what this is? Seriously, fucked up....
