mel brooks at his best ....there was a brain twisting scene in that with a train pulling out of a station and a guy running along the top of it with people running the other way on the platform .....all going nowhere .....genius.

Top Secret was Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker - the team of nuts that bought us Airplane! - not Mel Brooks.

Time Bandits

I don't think Time Bandits is that weird, just f***ing brilliant!

Tampopo. Began my love affair with Japan.

'The Skin I Live In' is pretty weird, but I thought it was an excellent film.

You mean the Hitler Rap? That's Mel Brooks's version of To Be or Not to Be. Although I don't think the song actually appeared in the final film - it was just used as a promo...

And I have to say the 1942 Jack Benny original version (of the film, not the rap song) is funnier in my opinion.

Catching up on some new dvd purchases. The Dyatlov pass incident. Fascinating story

I saw that - maybe called another name? It was decent, but then got very weird. Too weird.

Boxing Helena - pretty disturbing, Jennifer Lynch film

 

[DavidRyder]

eraserhead and martyr ...2 heavyweights in the weird category

deer hunter , A.I & Dead mans shoes ....heavyweights in their own right

Dead Man's Shoes - great film!

Always enjoyed this one from the 80s

And due to the original theatrical print not including the correct copyright notice you aren't breaking any laws watching it via moody download or stream (unless it has a commentary track!)

Drawn into this thread and consequently read up about this "incident" which actually happened - can only describe it as "well creepy".

One of my all time favourite movies.

Apparently a story of time travel not a decent into insanity as I thought!!!

My Faves and a bit odd are

Harold and Maude
Steelyard Blues
The Intouchables

all fairly bleak but also very funny
