Movies of the Wierd

[Shandi]

So I watch alot of movies when I'm working, I am a avid watcher of the strange and unusual movies. I thought I'd list some to see if anyone else has watched them or liked them or would like to add thier favorites.

"Repo the Genetic Opera" Somewhat gory, good story line, good songs! it's a musical think Rocky Horror for this century.
"The City of Ember" it got really bad reviews but over all it was a good watch, it feels like there are parts missing but I enjoyed it. Movie about a under ground city where people where placed to save them and after 200 years they could come back to the surface, of course some problems along the way. Tim Robbins and Bill Murry (sp) are in it.
"Mutant Chronicles" now Ron Perlman is in it so I had to watch it...it was hard to follow but lots of action, hubby liked it futuristic world failing movie.
I could list alot more maybe later after you all post a few

Mutant Chronicles is based in a game system I used to play.  Been wanting to see the movie but I haven't found it around here yet.  \

Heard the same about Repo despite the presence of Paris Hilton, if I recall right.

Hadn't really looked int o City of Ember.


Since you mention movies, I'd like to take this moment to inform you that "Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day" is coming out this Halloween.  If you haven't seen the first one, now's the time to pick it up. $13 bucks at Wally world.  Just picked up the fancy covered version today myself.  Vigilante justice and comedy.  Same actors too. Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Billy Connelly.

"The Dark Backward"
"The Man With Two Brains"


really liked "The Cube"

The strangest movie I have ever seen in my entire life was "Liquid Sky"  back in the eighties (at the Uptown theatre).  To this day I do not know if I love it or hate it.  It makes Rocky Horror look like a Daffy Duck cartoon...

I love City of Ember. Complex buildup to the end, with an open ending for possible sequel.

A deep dark movie is "The Keep". It's available on YouTube, but no where else that I can find. Germans taking over an ancient fort and finding more than they expected.

Also "The People" from Zenna Henderson. I took 6 months to track down a copy of this movie. William Shatner in 1972 in a non-Star Trek movie was odd.

Spent several Friday evenings attending "Rocky Horror Picture Show" showings at the local theater. Damn it Janet!.

Pi is a strange one, but its good. Donnie Darko another weird one, and I also liked Dark City.

"Repo the Genetic Opera" Somewhat gory, good story line, good songs! it's a musical think Rocky Horror for this century.

In a weird twist, I actually consider this as a bit of a ren faire movie. Adam Smith, who did a lot of the leather stuff (the Repo Man mask, the tool kits, the restraints, other bits and bobs) is actually a vendor at several of the southern Ontario faires.

"REpo the Genetic Opera" is one of those movies I watch 2-3's a week. I love the movie. If you have never seen it Rent it you all will be suprised.

Matango is a very strange Japanese movie if you've only seen the Americanized version you don't know how strange it is.

here is another one I watch often "The Company of Wolves" very visual love the story's but the thing just doesn't tie well with the start and ending. Over all though it is a great story

[Rani Zemirah]

Just watched "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" last night... again...  Talk about weird!!!  LOL  Douglas Adams is about as weird as it gets...

Heard the same about Repo despite the presence of Paris Hilton, if I recall right.

I was hesitant about the movie when I first saw that Paris Hilton was in it, but after watching it, I realized that the character she portrayed was a super-spoiled rich skank who was addicted to plastic surgery and drugs, and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

It's like they lifted Hilton's life and put it into the script, so she was perfect for the role.

One of the funniest off beat movies I have see is "Amazon Women on the Moon".  It is a series of shorts that parody late night television on an independent station.  I almost feel out of my chair during the opening with Arsenio Hall.

If you like strange, try Strangeland... written & directed by Dee Snider. Yes, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister.  Robert Englund is in it also.

That's why they cast her in the part!! you should listen to the comments about how Paris threw a fit because her messed up surgery makeup made her too ugly...she didn't want to come out of the makeup trailer.
