The Weirdest Films You've Seen?

What are the most bizarre films you've ever seen?

I watched Dogtooth the other week and found it one of the strangest and most disturbing films I've seen in ages. It's about a controlling man who keeps his teenage kids within the grounds of his home, banning them from watching television, or meeting anybody other than a colleague of his, who he pays to have sex with his son... It's really creative though, in how he controls them...

Waking Life is probably one of my favourite films, as it's so thought provoking and interesting...

Delicatessen is another awesome, wonderfully weird film...

How about you? What head fuckery do you love?

    Eraserhead by David Lynch - man has to look after tiny alien baby thing and the film turn into some weird surrealist dream

    The Feast trilogy
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_%28film%29

    Normal film on the face of it - the world is attacked by weird alien monster things but it just gets weirder and weirder i.e. the third film contains two spanish wrestling midgets, an elderly woman gets catapulted at a wall and explodes in a green goo, a crazy women bites a mans penis off, one of the monsters shags a cat... i could go on but it has to be seen to be believed

    One of the most disturbing films I've seen is Jisatsu Sakuru (Suicide Club / Circle)

    I can't really write about it, as there is so much more to it than a bunch of school kids killing themselves and I wish I understood all that was going on in it. But yeah one to watch.

    If you like Battle Royale than I guess you may like this one. Although I think after you get your head round the ideas in Battle Royale, the film isn't that wonderful. But still good.

    That opening scene was pretty twisted, at least when that fairground music came on....

    I'd have to go with Tetsuo: The Iron Man & I'm a cyborg but thats OK. Wasn't terribly clear what was going on in either film. :crazyeyes

    Valhalla Rising.

    While watching it, you think it takes you a whole day finishing it. There is not a lot of dialogue just long endless camera takes of a landscape of a country you don't even know. They don't know where they are (vikings?) and neither do you.

    Probably not the weirdest, but pretty damn weird.

    I think the weirdest film I've seen is Duel.

    Probably quite tame compared to Battle Royale!

    I really want to see that. I've seen some clips and it's the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever seen. Apparently the director/main actor couldn't get anyone to hire him or fund his projects, so he managed to scrape enough money together to fund it himself. But obviously now everyone knows why no-one would hire him.

    So natural.

    Such a powerful performance.
    And again.
    Yet more.
    Oh no, he didn't get the promotion.

    Tale of 2 sisters. It's a korean horror film and was pretty freaky from what I remember.

    The Machine Girl, for being ridiculously over the top.
    Basket Case, for this scene. http://youtu.be/ok7fOwdk2gc

    and this isn't the movie I was looking for, but it's similar to the one I'm thinking of. http://youtu.be/xxWXDP6Pfhk

    2) Antichrist
