The nominations phase is closed!

We’ve already had one final readers’ choice poll, but it was such a success that we’re doing it again. And this time, there’s a prize pack involved, so read on.

We’re coming down to the finish line in what has turned out to be an almost-decade-long countdown of the 366 Weirdest Movies Ever Made. Only 26 spots remain at the time of this writing. In the past, we’ve relied on reader input to help shape the List by running regular polls. Readers are responsible for directly placing Alice [Neco Z Alenky], Visitor Q, Pink Floyd: The Wall, Trash Humpers, The American Astronaut, Dead Ringers, Keyhole, Sweet Movie, Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny, Ninja Champion, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Vampire’s Kiss, Why Don’t You Play in Hell?, and last contest’s winners, Last Year at Marienbad and Under the Skin (2013), into the field of 366. (That’s not even counting reader-suggestions which we reviewed and found worthy.)

Some of those misfit films above surely would have made the List anyway without readers selecting them. But this new poll will be your last (and we mean it this time!) chance to have direct input on the List (at least, until we decide to expand it to 732 movies).

It’s going to work the same way as it did last time (with the added twist of a prize). We’re going to shut down the suggestion box for the time being, and you can post all your suggestions in the comments on this post. You may nominate any movie at all, whether it’s something we’ve never heard of, something that’s been languishing among our List Candidates, something that’s already sitting in the reader-suggested queue, or even something that we’ve already reviewed and rejected. Feel free to nominate the same movie you did last contest (maybe you’ll have better luck this time). The nominations are subject only to a few minimal rules:

1. One official suggestion per reader.
2. Don’t suggest a movie you had a part in creating. If you want us to review your work sent us a note via the contact form.
3. Every movie suggestion will require a “second” from someone else in the comments to become a nominee. (Seconding someone else’s movie choice will not preclude you from forwarding your own nominee).
4. Current contributors to 366 Weird Movies cannot nominate movies; they can second readers’ choices, however.
5. If your nominee appears to be a joke (i.e. E.T. or Mamma Mia!), even a second will not help. But don’t be afraid to make a non-conventional choice for a non-conventional movie—you just have to be more persuasive about why you think it belongs here.
6. The movies should be available for us to screen (legally) somewhere. We may consider some readily-available bootleg films, but not, for example, one of Matthew Barney’s Cremaster films (sorry! We’ll probably create another list of legendary unscreenable weird films someday.)

We will leave the nomination process open for one week. Fifteen titles is the most we’d be willing to deal with, so we’ll shut down the process if we reach that goal.

We’re trusting our readers are sophisticated enough to avoid recency bias and won’t only suggest movies made in the last two or three years (although you may certainly nominate such a film if you want to). Movies currently in theaters or film festivals should be avoided.

After one week, we’ll shut off this post to new comments and create an official one-week poll to officially add one of these movies. (Others from the poll could possibly make the List at the editors’ discretion). At that time, we’ll also reopen the “Suggest a Weird Movie!” page, though using it will be a Hail Mary pass for latecomers only.

Since you’ll need a second to get your nominee on the ballot, you’ll probably want to campaign as persuasively as you can for your choice. Since you can only vote one movie in the end, you can only second one.

Ready? Got to it! Comment away!

Oh, and did we mention a prize? We have a pair of Artsploitation horror anthology discs to give away! First up, it’s the Blu-ray version of the transgressive shock horror outing German Angst (which we have already reviewed favorably, though we didn’t nominate it for the List). We’ll pair that with the new DVD of A Taste of Phobia, wherein fourteen filmmakers fashioning flash fear films from a phobia. To draw this out as long as possible, the person who nominates the film that is eventually chosen to ascend to the List will be awarded the prize. If they are not eligible, the prize will go to the person who nominates the second-highest vote getter, and so on. The usual eligibility rules apply: you must supply a valid e-mail, you must be over the age of 18, and you must have a U.S. mailing address. You also must respond to notification that you have won within 48 hours or we’ll move on to the runner-up.

We’ll list the nominees (whether seconded or not) in the body of this post for clarity.

Our weekly look at what’s weird in theaters, on hot-off-the-presses DVDs and Blu-rays (and hot off the server VODs), and on more distant horizons…

Trailers of new release movies are generally available at the official site links.

IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):

Poor Boy (2016): Two redneck sons of a rodeo clown (played by Michael Shannon) try to marry a Native American woman so they can move to California in this scuzzily surreal experiment. Variety‘s Nick Schager inadvertently tries his best to sell it to our readers, complaining that it “has a strung-out, sunburnt feverishness that makes it seem, at any moment, poised to tip into outright insanity… tries too hard to be weird.” No official site located.

FILM FESTIVALS – Fantasia International Film Festival (Montreal, Canada, July 12 – Aug. 2):

As its name implies, Montreal’s Fantasia Festival originally began as a showcase for fantastic films from Asia; it has since morphed into a major event on the genre cinema calendar. Not that they’ve let mainstream success get to their heads; there’s still more rare weirdness to be found at Fantasia than at just about any film festival on the globe. We make watch lists from Fantasia’s programming, and we’re always saddened when less than half of the most daring films find meaningful distribution in the U.S. Because of the large number of entries, we’re highlighting only the most promising offerings here; it goes without saying that there will be new films by Takashi Miike and Shion Sono splashed across the screens. 366’s own Giles Edwards is in attendance and will be bringing us updates weekly (perhaps more frequently) on the Fest’s biggest and weirdest contenders. While realizing that surprise favorites always pop up, here are the top contenders for the throne of strangeness we took note of:

• Cam – A camgirl finds an exact duplicate of herself writhing onscreen, but transgressing her personal and professional boundaries; described as a “relentlessly tense surrealistic thriller.” Screens July 18 & 20.
• Chained for Life – The title is a reference to a 1952 exploitation film starring conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton (Freaks); the scenario involves “freaks” cast in a movie who “swipe the film’s camera equipment after-hours and make their own film”; the source is Aaron Schimberg, whose praised but little-seen debut Go Down Death earned comparisons to the work of Guy Maddin. Screening July 18 & 24.
• Hanagatami – Hausu‘s Nobuhiko Obayashi returns to realize his unfilmed first script (written in the 1970s), an eve-of-WWII tale of incestuous desire that The Telegraph called “avant-garde in the extreme” and “like nothing else around.” July 14 or 19.
• Mandy – Not just a Fantasia highlight, but one of the buzziest films of the year: Panos Cosmatos puts Nicolas Cage into a surreal supernatural revenge drama. Closing the festival on Aug 1, and already sold out.
  

Say “hi” to Giles if you see him. Fantasia Festival home page.

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

Godmonster of Indian Flats (1973): Read the Certified Weird entry! From American Film Genre Archives (AFGA) comes this  special edition (!) of Fredric Hobbs’ strange modern Western/mutant sheep monster mashup that’s actually mainly about real estate shenanigans and staged dog funerals. The disc comes with exploitation shorts and a bonus feature, 1975’s The Legend of Bigfoot, on, uh, Blu-ray? Buy Godmonster of Indian Flats.

Yellow Submarine (1968): Read the Certified Weird entry! If you’ve been watching our “Repertory Screening” column, you’ve probably figured out that a restored version of The Beatles‘ psychedelic cartoon about the saffron submersible has been touring the country this summer in a 4K restored version. What has received less fanfare is the fact that (as of today’s writing) it’s available to stream free for subscribers on Amazon Prime; and, perhaps even more surprising, so is the soundtrack. We suspect both offerings will be up for a limited time.

NEPOTISM CORNER:

“Crest”: Longtime readers will know that shorts czar Cameron Jorgensen moonlights as the bassist of SLC-based progressive/hard rock group Visitors. After an EP release last year, their debut album drops today, 7/13/2018. Cameron describes it as “a concept record about a girl who falls in love, but begins to question if her love interest is real or a product of her mental illness” adding, mysteriously, “we recorded these songs two years ago in Portland, where I was bitten by a vampire while walking to a convenience store.” He hopes “a handful of people out there don’t hate it.” A local music writer didn’t hate it, at least, saying the band “sounds like Glassjaw and Letlive had a love-triangle baby with Chino Moreno, then that baby grew up on prog rock and had an obsession with reverse evolution.”

Here’s the opening tune, “Pollyana”:

You can tell that Cameron has been paying attention to the experimental shorts he’s been posting, since he also collaborated on the music video.

Visit Visitors’ Bandcamp page to purchase the album.

IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):

Sorry to Bother You (2018): A telemarketer discovers he has a magical sales power that catapults him up the corporate ladder and into a “macabre universe.” We’ve been eagerly awaiting the wider release of this weird, satirical festival hit, the debut of rapper Boots Riley. Sorry to Bother You official site.

Under the Tree [Undir trénu] (2017): Neighbors argue over the fate of an old tree; the dispute turns absurdly violent. In fact, the main complaint from detractors of this Icelandic black comedy seems to be the depth of violence the director is willing to go to. Under the Tree Facebook page.

IN DEVELOPMENT (websites):

byNWRcom: This is a strange new item. Nicolas Winding Refn announces that he will be opening a website to screen some exploitation films from his private collection which he has restored. Among the offerings are Night Tide and Ron Ormond‘s The Burning Hell (restored!), along with some even rarer ones (nudie westerns and unclassifiable outsider exploitation), all linked by a common denominator of “bad taste.” Refn offers this treasure trove of oddities as an antidote to Trumpism in a politico-artitsic manifesto for The Guardian. The site is not streaming yet (it says “coming this month”) but you may want to bookmark it.

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

FILM FESTIVALS – Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, June 29-July7):

Though in it’s 53rd year, Karlovy Vary is overshadowed by other, bigger summer European film festivals, and isn’t one we usually pay attention to. With some strange revivals we can’t ignore alongside equally strange new films (including Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson‘s new Vertigo tribute, The Green Fog, Jan Svankmajer‘s Insects, Panos Cosmatos‘s much-buzzed-about sophomore effort Mandy, and Terry Gilliam‘s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote), that changes this year.

• Accumulator 1 (1994) – Rare Czech movie about characters in TV programs who drain energy from their real-life doubles. Restored and screening July 6.
• Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire (1987) – Surreal British rock opera about snooker players (there are no actual desperadoes or vampires). June 30 and July 4.
• Diamonds in the Night (1964)- Stream-of-consciousness Jan Nemec (A Report on the Party and Guests) film about two young Jewish refugees fleeing Nazis. Jun 30 and July 5.
• Pity – The story of a man addicted to sadness, notable because it was scripted by Giorgos Lanthimos‘ wiriting collaborator, Efthimis Filippou. June 29, July 1 and 4.
• Reflections in the Dust – The story of a schizophrenic clown and his blind daughter, told through alternating documentary interviews and a fictional post-apocalyptic story. Screening 6/20, 7/2, and 7/4.
  
• Volcano – An interpreter becomes lost in rural Ukraine and has a series of strange encounters. July 1-2, 4.
• Zama – A Spanish official posted to a remote South American colony longs for reassignment in a “subtly surreal and bizarre” film programmers say “often feels like it was made to purposefully confound the viewer.” June 29, July 2 or 6.

Karlovy Vary International Film Festival home page.

FILM FESTIVALS – New York Asian Film Festival (New York City, June 29-July 14):

The long-running NYAFF usually finds a number of high quality pan-Asian movies overlooked by other festivals. The weird ones are scarcer this season than previous fests (we hope this doesn’t represent a growing trend in Asian normality), but here are some titles of interest:

• Dukun (2006) – This “bizarre” blend of horror and courtroom drama is about a shaman on trial for allegedly killing a politician in an immortality ritual; shelved in its native Malaysia for its controversial nature and making its international premiere July 13.
• Premika – A karaoke-loving ghost forces victims to sing for their lives in this Thai horror comedy. Also screening July 13.
• Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) – This Thai take on a Spaghetti Western is set on psychedelic expressionist sets that are more stylized than Seijun Suzuki picture; weirdophiles will not find their time wasted on this “gloriously weird cult classic.” Catch the screening on July 5.

New York Asian Film Festival home page.

IN DEVELOPMENT (post-production):

Zan (2018): Tetsuo: The Iron Man‘s Shinya Tsukamoto turns his lens on a period piece, setting his latest in 19th century Japan and focusing on the adventures of a ronin and a peasant girl. The scanty description doesn’t sound weird, but if it isn’t at least a little twisted, it will be one of very few straightforward features Tsukamoto has made. Notice found at Variety.

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

The Addiction (1995): Read Alice Stoehr’s review. Abel Ferrara‘s philosophical vampire movie has still never been released on DVD in the U.S., but thanks to Arrow Video it skips straight to Blu-ray (complete with Ferrara commentary and documentary featurettes). Buy The Addiction.

The Endless (2017): Read our review. This Justin Benson/Aaron Moorehead mindbender proudly quotes the Hollywood Reporter’s declaration that it’s a “rich banquet of mind-bending weirdness.” DVD, Blu-ray and VOD. Buy The Endless.

Female Trouble (1974): Read the Certified Weird entry! The middle entry of John Waters‘ taste-free “Trash Trilogy” is now in the Criterion Collection on DVD and Blu-ray, with all new interviews and supplements. It’s better than cha-cha heels on Christmas! Buy Female Trouble.

German Angst (2015): Read our review. Transgressive Teutonic trio of grisly horrors involving castration, fascist hooligans, and sexual depravity. Now on Blu-ray, for higher definition grue. This may be a giveaway item from us down the line. Buy German Angst.

Terminal (2018): Neo-noir set in a neon nowhere featuring assassins and an Alice-in-Wonderland themed strip club. This Margot Robbie vehicle managed to avoid a wide theatrical release and arrived on home video to complaints that it was “confusing” and “just weird.” Don’t know how we missed it? On DVD, Blu-ray and VOD. Buy Terminal.

What are you looking forward to? If you have any weird movie leads that I have overlooked, feel free to leave them in the COMMENTS section.

THE CONTEST IS OVER! You may still comment on the topic if you like, however.

We have a surplus of promotional DVDs and Blu-rays we need to move, so it’s time for another giveaway! This time, the contest centers around the “movie of the day” concept that underlies the site’s mission statement, but which we rarely refer to.

To enter, we ask you to, in the comments, pick the day that’s most appropriate to view a particular Certified Weird movie. An obvious example would be viewing Santa Claus (or Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny) on December 25, Christmas Day. But what movie would you pick for Arbor Day? January 20? June 19? What’s the perfect day of the year to watch, for example, 2001: A Space Odyssey? (You might check Wikipedia for some ideas of celebrations and events associated with particular days of the year, or this site for some more whimsical choices.)

To enter, add your idea in the comments to this post. We are going to select the winner randomly using random.org, so you don’t have to provide the best suggestion to enter. (One entry per person, please, though you can mention as many films as you like). In fact, although we want to hear your thoughts, you don’t even have to have a suggestion to enter: you can simply mention in the comments that you love the site and you’d like to enter the contest. (You can even say you hate the site and still enter the contest; you will make us sad, but it won’t affect your chances of winning.)

The usual eligibility rules apply: to receive the DVD/Blu-ray, you must supply us with a mailing address in the United States. (Don’t publish your address in your comment! We’ll contact the winner through email). You also must be over the age of 18, given the extra-sexy nature of this prize pack. 366 contributors are not eligible for the prize. If you don’t meet those qualifications you can still comment for fun, but let us know you’re not in it for the swag. We’ll stop accepting entries Wednesday, July 4, at midnight EST, after the fireworks are over. If the winner does not respond to our request for a mailing address within 24 hours we’ll email a runner-up, and so forth, until the prize is given away.

And now, for our prizes. First up is the campy, crazy Australian homo-comedy Fags in the Fast Lane. This special DVD presentation comes with a sticker and a large reversible poster plus the usual DVD extras like a commentary track, music video, cartoon and trailers.  Our review states that “we fully expect to see it on our 10 Weirdest Movies of 2018 list… It goes without saying that neither homophobes nor the easily grossed-out will want to encounter Fags, but if you’re made of sterner stuff, you should find it fast-paced fluff that satisfies your guilty desire for absurd sleaze served with a twist of retro pop-culture surrealism.” Check out their home page for more info.

And just to please everyone, our second sexy feature is a softcore drama aimed at the heterosexual crowd: Cult Epics‘ new release of Frank & Eva, the debut film for Sylvia “Emmanuelle” Kristel. The DVD/Blu-ray combo includes a commentary track from director Pim de la Parra, the mini-doc “Up Front & Naked: Sex in Dutch Films,” and photo galleries. From the back cover: “Frank (Blue Movie’s Hugo Metsers) and Eva (The Lift’s Willeke van Ammelrooy) cannot live with or without each other. In the liberal 1970s, Frank sleeps with every woman he can get. Eva, meanwhile, is looking for more security and wants to start a family. Frank’s behavior frustrates her so much that she starts an affair with their mutual friend. This social drama offers a view on relationships not much different than today. For Sylvia Kristel (her debut prior to Emmanuelle), a special role was written after she said to Pim de la Parra, ‘Why won’t you discover me? I’m the best.'” Check out the Cult Epics Frank & Eva page for more info.

All right, get to it!
