We liked Wristcutters a lot, but thought it fell just short of "weird"... definitely unusual and a fun movie, though.

‘Wristcutters: a love story’ is definitely weird, bizzare, unusual..

Dwarf Oscar: if anyone else told us that a musical that was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won four was "weird," we'd laugh them out of the room... but we trust you. All That Jazz taps its way into the queue. jef t-scale: we already reviewed and certified the very weird The Dark Backward. We're aware of but holding off on Emperor Tomato Ketchup pending a possible Region 1 release, but Hanger is readily available, so I'll put that one into the queue.

a few weirdies:

Hanger (2009)
-> disfigured characters and gruesome revenge.. think street trash but more trash and more weird..
-> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1391469

The Dark Backward (1991)
-> a man who grows a hand on his back and his way to success
-> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101660

Emperor Tomato Ketchup (1971)
-> what would happen if children would take the world over and were filmed by an acid-loaded japanese director
-> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066468

Just saw Bob Fosse’s “All that Jazz”, and it’s quite an extravagant masterpiece. It’s pretty weird at times, but i actually don’t know if that is a weirdness inherent to the genre of musicals, or if that film is truly one of a kind. Maybe you’ve got an opinion on that ? Worth a review anyway :)

Hi Pixel! Week End and La Double vie de Véronique are in the queue above (as Weekend and The Double Life of Veronique). The Exterminating Angel is not (I'm as surprised by that as you are). I am going to skip over your suggestions of Container and Possible Worlds (neither of which are available on Region 1 DVD at the moment) and add Exterminating Angel. Thanks!

Uzumaki [AKA Spiral] is a good suggestion, Dan. We already reviewed it, but I still have not got around to personally seeing it and approving it for the List. I will put it in queue for a re-review, but bear in mind it will be a long time before I get to it.

Uzumuki Is a creepy, surreal japanese film, weird even by japan standards in my mind.

Good idea, Kevin. Carpenter is (or at least was) an offbeat and interesting director, but on the margins of what we’d consider “weird.” His weirdest film should definitely get some consideration.
