Recommend an unusual movie please

Watched Lobster last night. Most unusual.
Get past the first scene and have a gander.
In a dystopian society, single people must find a mate within 45 days or be transformed into an animal of their choice.

KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE

 

[Oldeagle66]

Dark Blood (2021) John Leguizamo. A really powerful and dark movie. The best I've seen him do. Spanish subtitles but worth it.

KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE

This used to be my and my ex's favorite stupic movie. We watched it whenever it was on.

I LOVED THAT MOVIE. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE OFTEN THOUGHT ABOUT THE MOON CRASHING INTO THE EARTH. THE MOVIE MADE FEEL LIKE SOMEONE UNDERSTOOD ME. I'M SURE IT CAME FROM SOME KIND OF TRAUMA FROM BIG PEOPLE HOVERING OVER MY CRIB.
DON'T EVEN SAY IT!

Lovely Bollywood movie... Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (the Prime version has subtitles)

I remember that film. Yes, definitely qualifies as unusual. I'm a fan of unusual films.

Here's my nomination for the thread. It's totally nuts comedy with a half hearted nod to horror. Highly recommend.

Bubba Ho Tep

 

[ChiroDoc]

The Trial (1962) - Orson Welles' brilliant film starring Anthony Perkins, based on the dystopian novel of the same name.

I can't watch it. Too cruel and without any reason for that. Horrible film.

I watched this a few times years ago because a coworker of mine kept trying to figure out what it was about. He got me trying.
David Lynch said it was inspired by the fear he felt one time living downtown Philadelphia. Go figure.
My favorite scene is when his head pops off and lands outside a building and a guy takes the head inside and makes pencil erasers out of the head....

Comedic parody of "martial arts" exploitation movies:

Despite the trailer, this may well bring tears to your eyes more than once:

David Lynch may be the most enigmatic director in Hollywood. I've had to look up explanations for Mulholland Drive. I was driving myself nuts trying to make sense out of the film, and even the expert critics write they are only speculating, because Lynch refuses to explain his own works. But even not understanding the film, the scenes keep my attention. He is the epitome of "unusual."
