Suggest a Weird Movie!

Please do not ask “what was that movie?” questions on this page. We set up an entire site here to answer those questions. This page is for suggesting movies to be reviewed.

Know a weird movie? Something strange that glued you to the screen with awe, amazement or reverence, while your more mundane minded friends left the room (or theater) in boredom, confusion or disgust? A movie whose omission from a list of the 366 weirdest movies of all time would offend you on a personal level? Something even I haven’t heard of or considered? There are potentially thousands of forgotten films, critically dismissed films, foreign or independent films that never got a proper release, or misplaced oddities hiding out there that may deserve a place at the table. One man can’t be expected to track them all down. Here is the place to mention those treasured curios that no one else seems to have even heard of. Nominate a movie in the suggestion box and I’ll move it up on my review queue, or at the very least, explain why I’m not going to review it.

NOTICE: The “Suggest of Weird Movie!” feature has become a victim of its own success.  At the time of this update, we have about 250 reader suggestions (!) in queue. (More than that since I last updated the page)! Since we can only do 1 or maybe 2 reviews a week, be aware there may be a huge delay—currently, possibly over a year!—between the time you make a suggestion and the point at which it’s actually reviewed.  I considered shutting down the suggestion box as of 2011, but I decided to let you keep your suggestions coming (if nothing else, it tells us what types of movies readers are interested in seeing reviews of). Just be aware that when you make a suggestion, it may not receive the promptest of attention. The best you can really hope for at this point is to bring something to our attention that we might have overlooked. (Also note that although we prioritize the earliest nominations later suggestions may get reviewed before earlier ones if they receive a re-release on DVD or Blu-ray, or interest us for our own inscrutable reasons).

If you can’t wait for one of our staff to review your movie, why not review it yourself and submit it to us via the contact form?  We can’t swear we’ll publish every submission we receive, but we want reader participation and we are fairly liberal.

All serious suggestions will receive a response, as well as all most non-serious ones.

  2. Unbreakable (2000), pretty unconventional compared to standard “superhero” stories.

  3. Mick Bornson: OK on Following.

    russa03: I think you are plundering our old Not on DVD in the USA list for titles to suggest. I will add Happy End, and were it to be released on DVD we would jump on it.

    Brad: Sorry, not sold on Unbreakable. Sounds too much like a Sixth Sense thriller. Will need someone to second it if I’m going to add it.

  4. Never saw that list which is excellent and terrible that they aren’t available. Strange nobody ripped off Happy End, would’ve been perfect for Ealing. If added the campaign will start here to get it released with subtitles.

    Habfürdő [Bubble Bath] – Animated Hungarian musical. Very trippy. Can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk0u8CRw9o

  5. There is a moive where a man used to make dolls and have sex with it. And many people used to take I and when they had sex with it or like the doll they died. Do know any moive like this?

  6. So this movie I saw in my sophomore or junior year of high school which was in 2008-2009 and it was ok DVD, which narrows down the later movies. I can’t remember how this went, but it’s going to sound really awkward and I can’t find this anywhere.

    “A couple or a guy and a girl get taken, I don’t remember where some apartment or condo. As they get taken, there was one guy I’m guessing the leader of some gang or something and he had a gay prostitute/hustler someone with him. When the female walks in she finds the two guys having sex on a swing I believe.” I can’t remember if the movie was in English or in Spanish. If someone can remember this scene or knows something similar to this scene… Can someone help me find this movie I’ll be so grateful, because I’ve been dying to find this movie.

  7. I just watched this Scandinavian Sci-Fi film last night on Netflix called LFO that might suit this site. It revolves around a guy who discovers he can hypnotize people with sound, so he experiments on his neighbors. Some portions of what he does with this new found power were rather predictable, but there was a fair amount going on that was strange throughout the entire movie. The ending was pretty bizarre too. I finished it, slept on it, and just feel like the people of this site might appreciate it.

  8. I Remmeber waching it as a kid and I See two cartoon or animated characters falling down a cliffe but some how manged to clime up the clife becuase they had thier backs against echother. IT WAS like v shaped gap down de clifee . I cant remmber theName. Can somebody help me out

    1. ThiThis sounds like a scene from the emperors new groove lol although it might not be what you are thinking of!

  9. Helter Skelter (2012) by Mika Ninagawa. Perhaps not the weirdest film, but incredibly visually interesting, with enough bizarre flourishes to earn it at least a candidacy spot.

  10. jeremy and daniel: try asking here please.

    WithoutTheA: LFO looks like it might work.

    Scott R.: I’ll add Helter Skelter (2012).

    Aaron: I remember liking Living in Oblivion when it came out, but not thinking it was particularly weird. However, if someone seconds your suggestion I’ll agree to revisit it.

  11. Golem (1980) – Kafkaesque Polish science-fiction. Piotr Szulkin has a few odd films but this tops them. Will be hard to find though. The link has no subs but just to get an idea of the film.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ahUFGZIgA0

    Some avant-garde animations:
    Mr. and Mrs. Kabal’s Theatre (1967)
    Chronopolis (1983)
    Heaven and Earth Magic (1962)

  12. Gingerclown (2013), labelled as the first Hungarian 3-D horror comedy.

    It’s the Citizen Kane of bizarre, forgotten Hungarian 3-D horror comedy.

    Plus it has weird favorites, Tim Curry and Brad Dourif.

  13. Thought I’d mention Coherence if anyone hasn’t and if it fits the criteria! It’s a sci-fi/mystery/thriller about a group having a dinner party when a comet is passing until the lights go out, but there is one house in the street with the lights still on so when they go to this house and look through the window they see themselves..!

  14. Other odd movies I’ve watched this week are listed below, perfect sense had ‘bad’ reviews but it was actually really good it’s about an apocalypse but it’s where people lose their 5 senses.

    Plus one (+1)
    XVO
    Enter nowhere
    Perfect sense

  15. For your consideration:

    ‘Miracle Mile’ (1988)

    Starring Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham.

    It’s a marvelous real-time, genre-bending, romantic and apocalyptic film.

  16. Somehow I feel a little bit less special after finding a list that contains nearly every movie that I found in about 15 years of searching for weird movies. This is a great list! And I even have a few suggestions left:

    – Sanatorium of the hourglass (Someone already suggested The Saragossa manuscript. I liked Sanatorium better)
    – Borgman (this is a new one 2014 or something)
    – Bread and circus
    – Kanashimi no Belladonna (I dont no the english title)
    – The company of wolves (Another girl discovers her sexuality movie. This time as a red riding hood story with werewolves. Sounds much dumber than it actually is)
    – A Big Grey-Blue Bird
    – Warm water under a red bridge
    – Destricted (A collection of Art-Porn. I don’t know, if that counts)
    – The Tempest 1979 (A shakespeare adaption with dancing sailors and a “stormy weather” musical number)
    – Forbidden Games (Sounds like a porn. Actually it is a movie about a little girl that loses its parents in war and a boy that kills little animals to help her build a graveyard)
    – Street of Crocodiles. (I don’t know if you are interested in short movies. But pretty much everything from the Brothers Quay is weird)

  17. “Wonderwall..”. George Harrison did the soundtrack to it. Quite bizarre, wonderful visual delight. I was going to also vote for Liquid Sky. Incredible…

  18. Fehérlófia … one of the trippiest psychedelic cartoons I’ve ever seen … amazing.

  19. You have fear and loathing in Las Vegas but don’t have “Where the buffalo roam.”? Great Bill Murray film that pays homage to Hunter S. Thompson. Very similar to Fear and Loathing minus the CGI.

  20. Aargh, so many suggestions for such a long queue! In fact the list of to-be-reviewed titles is so long and inclusive now that I am going to be more selective in adding new titles, requiring a second vote in many cases.

    Here’s some of the suggestions made this week that we’ve already covered (I’m not going to link these individually, either search or find them on this page): Coherence, Plus One, Enter Nowhere, Hourglass Sanitorium, Borgman, The Company of Wolves, The Tempest, Wonderwall, The Exterminating Angel, Southland Tales.

    Plus ones that are not yet reviewed but already listed in the queue above: Perfect Sense, “Street of Crocodiles” (in the “Brothers Quay Collection”), Fehérlófia

    Brad: unless someone seconds it we’re going to pass on Gingerclown, looks like just an average bad horror movie.

    Erin: The only one of those which isn’t listed somewhere on the site is Frequencies [AKA XVO: The Manual], which I will add.

    Octavators: will also require a second vote for Miracle Mile, which looks like it might be good and offbeat but not quite weird.

    peter: Same requirement of a second goes for Hotel Inferno.

    Sebastian: Looks like Kanashimi no Belladonna [Belladonna of Sadness in English] will be getting a Blu-ray release in the US soon, so we will review it then (I’ll also add it to the queue).

    Todd: I like Where the Buffalo Roam, and it’s a good companion piece to Fear and Loathing, but we’ll pass on it as not weird enough and as overshadowed by Gilliam’s movie.

  21. I think “THX 1138” could be a strong candidate. I know, the movie’s first impression might be that of a straightforward, minimalistic plot that happens to be set in a mildly abstract environment.
    However, the film’s surrealism goes much beyond that: It’s full of unexplained odd details, the plot seems to move by its own surreal logic and the overall experience feels dream-like. I think it can definitely claim a place in the list.

    Also, are the shorts featured on saturdays also eligible?

  22. Has anyone suggested Sonatine? It’s probably one of the strangest and greatest gangster films (yakuza technically) I’ve seen in a while. It’s definitely stranger than some of the films on here in terms of story, acting, and technique. Plus it’s got a great soundtrack. Seriously, if no has yet to suggest it, you should check it out.
    An other one you might want to check out is Hard to be a God. It features a rather distinctive camera style, an all out commitment to a ‘realistic’ depicition of a world in the dark ages, and a strangely disconected narrative. Although, it is almost 3 hours long, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it dropped to the bottom of your already monstrous queue .

  23. Russa03: I can add Gwen le Livre de Sable.

    bohumil valdens: Similarly for The Outskirts, another film we are unfamiliar with.

    And Michael, thanks for the notice about The Suicide Theory, which is actually a 2015 film and therefore appropriate to be reviewed as a new release. Looks like it’s just on VOD and in theaters now; a DVD release would be nice. I will add it to the queue so it isn’t forgotten.

  24. Nowhere (1997)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119809/
    Honestly surprised this odd teen drama cinematic disaster involving secret alien invasion, unrequited gay love and a suicide never made the list.

    Izo (2004)
    An angry spirit transcends time and space on a quest for revenge and meets a cast of potential foes that he must ultimately kill. As most films directed by Takashi Miike, you wonder if you are too stupid, or simply not japanese enough to understand what is happening.

    Ichi the Killer (2001)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coiVr5Pl4-s
    A wonderful Japanese romp where a masochist must find the ultimate sadist to sate himself. Not as incomprehensible as Gozu or Izo, but still very odd.

  25. A while ago I watched a portion of a very interesting film but I’ve never remembered the name of the movie. The part I remember is a guy, who seems to be running away or hiding from something/someone, comes upon an isolated farm home. There was a clothing line with a big white blanket on it as well as other clothes probably and the house was grayish. The man sneaks into the house and hides in the closet. Later, the women who lives there finds him, apprehends him, but eventually takes a desperate attempt to have sex with him, and does. Shortly after a child approaches and sees her mom with this stranger but the mom makes her go away. That’s all I remember but I would love to know the name of the movie so that I watch the rest. Someone please help me out!

  26. Oh, I’m very sorry for both the late response and not having found “THX”.

    As for shorts, no, I didn’t have a particular one in mind, just curious.

    Thanks for the attention anyway.

  27. Distasy: I think I was in a bad mood when I reviewed Nowhere six years ago, in the early days of this site. I am open to re-reviewing it in the future but it’s not at the top of my priority heap. I’d rather give Izo a shot so I’ll add that one to the queue.

    Chris Sparrow: Wrong place to ask, please try filling out the form here.

    Rafael: No problem, happy to hear from you again.

    Marc: The Quiet Earth is already in the queue but I can add The End of August at the Hotel Ozone (which appears to be the name used on the DVD, I have seen several variations of the title).

  28. Surprised there is no Béla Tarr. A few of his films could be considered but I will suggest Werckmeister Harmonies. So subtle with its mysteriousness.

  29. I already suggested “The Suicide Theory” a few weeks ago… you were asking about how to access it if I remember correctly… you can catch it on Netflix on Sept. 10th. Dvd on the 15th.

  30. I remember watching an animated tv show or a movie with these two little kids share a room and on the wall was a chalkboard. These two kids draw on the chalkboard and one of the kids draw a dog house. They do something and a dog magically comes out of the chalkboard. I just don’t remember what it was called. Can somebody help me out?

    1. No its something else because I remember when the kids went to bed, the dog magically got back on the chalkboard and went into the dog house and fell asleep. I was so little when I watched it

    2. I’m not sure then.

      Best bet is to try the “What Was That Weird Movie?” forum they have here on this site if you haven’t already.

      Pretty sure that’s where G. Smalley is going to direct you. (Sorry to speak for you G. Smalley)

  31. Ichi the Killer, most definitely. My wife & I saw it at TIFF in 2001. She watched most of it through her hands. An oriental fella on the other side ofme was snacking when it began but spent the rest of the time with his hands quivering under his chin.

    It is brutally violent and involves a mentally disabled superhero type pursued by a Yakuza hitman tasked with finding some stolen money.

    As the opening credits roll, we are treated to someone pedalling their bicycle furiously – we only see the feet, pedals and wheels – through an unnamed Japanese city intercut with four people waiting in car outside a building. Are they waiting for the cyclist? We’re not sure, but they become bored. The driver reads a newspaper, the two in the back make out and the fourth bangs heroin(?).

    There’s more as the credits unfurl, but suffice to say, when the title emerges from a pool of male ejaculate dripping from a potted plant, the weirding ways are strong in this one.

    Also, A Boy and his Dog from the early 70s. Don Johnson in a post apocalyptic landscape looking for food and to get laid. His dog helps him in his quest by telepathically chatting. And Jason Robards.

    Love the site.

    1. I was seconding Ichi in the hope it would push it up the queue. And I just this second noticed A Boy and his Dog. Sorry aboot that. I had checked the list under ‘a’ and didn’t see it.

      Plan 9 from Outer Space? Ed Wood and Lugosi died while it was in production.

  32. There’s a movie I watched when I was younger and I can’t seem to figure out what it is. I know that there’s a painter who grows very old and he lives far from society. I believe he died but I can’t remember. And in the place he worked he painted on his ceiling I believe was the death of his own son. He would even feed the monster teeth and I think the monster lived in the fire place. I can’t seem to figure it out and I really want to watch it!
