I was watching The Game last night and was wondering what is the weirdest or most trippy movie you have ever watched? My favourites are: Naked Lunch, Southland Tales, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Drugstore Cowboy, Dark City, Donnie Darko, The Box, The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus, Vanilla Sky, Blade Runner and A Scanner Darkly
Nearly everything Cronenberg did in the 80's/90's fits into that category, The Fly, eXistenZ, Altered States, Videodrome, Naked Lunch, Scanners, The Dead Zone... If you love messed up cinema you also can't go wrong with the straight to video classics from Full Moon Entertainment, Castle Freak, Seedpeople, Doctor Morbid, The Day Time Ended, The first five Trancers movies, Bad Channels, Demonic Toys, Dollman, Dollman vs. The Demonic Toys and so on. Danger: Diabolik has a few trippy scenes in it that were cut when it was shown on MST3K, Mindwarped is fairly messed up if you're bored and have a netflix account and there's a ton of Japanese films over the past few decades that fit well into that category. It's really hard to beat out Naked Lunch through, that movie is such an epic mindf**k that it can take at least half a dozen viewings before you realize that he never leaves town.
The Game is SICK!!! Love that movie, Also weird/trippy, fire in the sky, Requiem for a dream, Sunshine spotless mind, butterfly effect, Punch drunk love...
As far as trippy: -Shutter Island -The Number 23 -The Fountain -The Butterfly Effect -Inception As far as weird: -District 9 -The Human Centipede (the weirdest/most disturbing movie I've ever seen)
Actually, Ken Russell did Altered States, not Cronenberg. Russell has made a career of weird ass movies as well: The Devils, Crimes of Passion, Gothic, Lair of the White worm to name a few. Weirdest movie I saw outside of Eraserhead was Liquid Sky, one of those zero budget indie movies from the early 80s that never gets old.
weirdest: - Naked Lunch (too) - Being John Malkovich - Lost Highway trippiest: - The Trip (Peter Fonda) - La Planete Sauvage - Wizzards - 2001 - Enter the Void
right on - other than a few I forgot about (Inception, Eraserhead, Being John Malkovich, etc.) there are more than enough new ones I haven't seen to keep me occupied for a good while.
Being John Malkovich. Some parts are just so random and disturbing to the point of nervous laughter. Another Kaufman film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, is less crazy while also being very original. And don't forget the weirdest, trippiest, awesomest, most abstract one of them all: 2001: A Space Odyssey!!!!!! Yeah. Now that I think about it, 2001 is probably the weirdest popular film in existence.
When you have a little sister who can't drive, and demanding parents who don't want to take your sister.. Yeah, then you have to go. D:
