SPOILERS AHEAD: Piano/priest/donkey: Un Chien Andalou (1929) Gas-sniffer: Blue Velvet (1986) ex-Olympian: Gymkata (1985) Of course, Bela Lugosi only acted as an omniscient godlike narrator in one pro-transvestite documentary: that would be Glen or Glenda? (1953) Happy to help. All those movies are fun in their own way, although they're all very different.

Brilliant site that is destined to burn a hole in my wallet. I was hoping some would ask and it would be answered but I guess all people commenting are real connoisseurs of the weird genre – so let me be the tyro that asks – can you PLEASE name the movies that you are making references to – actually name them for me please. The piano / priest / donkey, the ex-Olympian, the gas-sniffer – what movies are these? Also is the Bela Lugosi one too a real movie?

Thanks, that’s helpful.

For anyone else who’s looking for a particular film or director or whatever on 366 Weird Movies, here’s a tip: you can use Google to search the site by prepending “site:366weirdmovies.com” (no quotes) to your query at google.com (or in your search bar).

Eric: Good question. We could definitely work on organization a bit.

As for the designations: “Certified Weird” speaks for itself.

“List Candidates” are not rejects. They are films that 1) I either watched and thought were on the borderline, so I deferred making a decision on them until later, or 2) another reviewer recommended the movie be put on the List, but I haven’t had a chance to watch and approve it yet.

Anything that gets just a “capsule” review is a reject.

I should have marked Dogtooth as a List Candidate; it was an oversight.

Implementing a better search engine for the site than wordpress’ crappy default is something we need to work on down the road. In the meantime every film that’s gotten a review is on this page somewhere.

Care to add a few words describing how you go about reviewing movies and deciding whether to add them to the list? I was going to suggest some films, but got confused when I noticed that some, e.g., Dogtooth, have already wended their way through the reviews queue, have a Guest Review on the site, but are neither in the “certified weird” list nor the “list candidates” reject pile. This make it difficult to tell what you have and haven’t already considered.

My best friend and I bonded over the fact that we were the only people we knew who loved Tideland, and now have what we dubbed our Odd Squodd Movie Nights where we strive to introduce each other to the strange and wonderful films we could never recommend to anyone else: Love Object, American Astronaut, Brazil, etc.

In other words, as soon as I stumbled across your site I immediately contacted him to share the wonderful new resource . . . and then spent the next several hours scouring the site for movies to add to my Netflix queue.

I don’t know if this is something I should be proud of, or something I’ll have to answer for in the next life. But thank you nonetheless.

I just wanted to say this website has essentially changed my life, at least in terms of movie watching. For many years, I’ve basically watched what one would consider weird. It’s my drug of choice, so to speak. However, now whenever I watch “normal” films, I’m looking to see if it is, in any regards, weird. For example, I was camping this weekend and although we don’t have very many modern amenities, we do have access to a television with a cheap DVD player. My brother-in-law brought a few movies with him; American Beauty (a great film) and Starship Troopers (Fun, but not that good). My point is…I can no longer watch any movie without picking it apart to discover if there is any weirdness within. I think what makes weird films so good is their ability to invoke the the personal weirdness in us all. We all have it in us in some form or other.
