Don't forget about "Color out of Space"
I fucking hated The Lobster. But Clockwork Orange and Eraserhead are my absolute favorites
Look up the "bizarro" litarary genre. Some of those fit into it well.
To understand A Clockwork Orange, it helps to read the book, the version with the final chapter restored. That's a part the movie leaves out.
House is a horror movie though
Absurd plots, random imagery, uncomfortable atmosphere…
Sounds like every movie from Japan to me.
"House" & "A Clockwork Orange" are both horror films, though the former is definitely surrealist
YOU TOTALLY FORGOT KUSO!!!
Bunch overly artsy buuuulllshit..😂😂😂
Honestly how good was The Lobster
Check out Pawn Shop Chronicles from 2013
The Lobster was interesting it was mix of comedy and tragedy, slow paced with dystopian vibe, overall it seemed absurdist. Really interesting film
What about Tusk?Actually,why not make a list of movies with multiple genres?Anyway,Tusk is a horror comedy about a man who goes to Canada to interview someone,only for him to accept the invitation of a psychotic old man who's obsessed with recreating(that's right,you heard me) his deceased walrus hero,which he does by creating a suit made entirely of mutilated human skin,and even mutilates the protagonist-not that he didn't deserve to be punished,I mean he cheated on his girlfriend with too many women and he's a bully to many others,but this is a horrible fate even for one's greatest enemy- to the point of irreversible psychological and physical damage.Who does that?Kevin Smith,director of the horrible Cop Out movie featuring Bruce Willis,does apparently..
Does JOKER or BABY DRIVER pass this test? BABY DRIVER because it mixes action, thriller, music, dark comedy, and romance in a hardline mash-up that’s unclear to pinpoint?
Most of these films are arguably dark comedies?
VENOM, the Tom Hardy Marvel film, passes this test as does GET OUT, CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE, BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS, Gaspar Noe’s I STAND ALONE, and anything Harmony Korine’s ever tampered with…particularly SPRING BREAKERS! Anything Lars Von Trier’s made passes this test!
Being 100 with y’all…that tire movies trailer used to freak me tf out as a kid
Some of the concepts mentioned here seem like they came right out of Martin's sci-fi works.
Cloud Atlas was ahead of its time.
In other words: These movies should not be watched. They're just… nothing.
This narrator must be the guy that moved the comment section
Hausu has one of the all-time greatest soundtracks
that song sounds like a bad Evanescence rip-off
I was a young horny teenager and one late night I saw a movie called Naked Lunch. It was on a channel that often had semi erotic movies late at night so I was thinking there'd be naked people in it. Imagine how I felt watching that mind fuck of a movie. Boner killer of the highest order. LOL!!!!
Clockwork orange sucked period.
I feel like Killing of a sacred deer is even weirder than Lobstah
This could also work as Another Top 10 Weird Movies
Who needs genres? That adds labels to art, a liberating medium
I would have been disappointed if The Lobster wasn't on this list. It's easily the weirdest movie I have ever seen, but it's also kind of wonderful.
weird horror movies are still horror movies.
What about Science of Sleep, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? I would not say either fit easily into a genre.
Lol I’ve seen gummo, Frank, lobster, & clockwork orange. Do I need to mention that I saw Parasite as well? I feel like parasite & clockwork orange are no longer obscure.
But y’all forgot to include Barton Fink on this list. What about Barton Fink!!!!?
What about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?!
Slacker would be a good choice for this list.
I watched the tire film ummm all those hours of my life i lost on that 1
Frank is a drama movie that's not Genre less
The corpse in "Swiss Army Man" was once Harry Potter.
Some Terry Giliam movies could be here too… anyone seen TIDELAND? Very weird movie
Rubber is clearly a horror comedy
2:42 Sounds like a horror film to me.
What, no Greasy Strangler?
And Eraserhead in turn inspired Kramer's haircut.
