Paprika deserves a nod. Even for an anime movie about dreaming made by the same guy behind Paranoia Agent, it gets pretty crazy pretty fast. The third act cranks the WTF straight up to eleven when the dreamworld denizens invade into the real world. Which doesn't happen gradually -- it happens right the hell out of nowhere. Two of our protagonists are just walking along when suddenly they lock eyes with a giant porcelain doll staring back at them through the window. You've got about five seconds of just the characters looking at it going D8 before the doll starts cackling and destroys the building. And that's how the what-the-fuckery starts. It just gets crazier and crazier after that.
I was tripping balls when I first watched Beau is Afraid and wasn't ready for how weird it got. People talk about the paint drinking scene, which is wonderful, but the scene where he thinks all the weirdos are invading his apartment when he goes outside is one of the greatest things I've seen in any movie ever.
Sometimes, throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks can be good. In the case of most of these films, one thing that sticks to a walls is S**t. But Meet the Feebles is gold and an absolute must see film.
If you can get your hands on them, you should also watch Bad Taste and Braindead (known as Dead Alive in some markets). They are two more of Jackson’s earlier films. Both twisted and brilliant!
I saw Takashi Miike's Dead of Alive in the theaters. After the first 10 minutes, I was like, what did I get myself into? And after the last 10 minutes, everyone in the theater was stunned silent.
Here's my list of WTF movies: Rubber Funny Games Jack Ketchums' The Lost. Itchi The Killer Irréversible Eraserhead Tromeo and Juliet Antichrist High School Musical
Love Lies Bleeding. Didn't see that one listed here. I didn't even realize what kind of movie I was watching until it went batshit crazy suddenly toward the end. lol
I’d never be able make a list like this purely because I watch the trailers. Trailers are meant to sell the film and none of these seem like they’d have trailers that would make the whole film seem any better. They’d have to flat out lie and make a trailer involving none of the actual film to sell them well. I wouldn’t be dumb enough to then pay to see any of these.
Watching the second half of “sorry to bother you” felt like watching a live action episode of South Park I saw “smoking causes coughing” at the Cannes Film Festival 3 years ago and it was a wild ride, highly recommend it
I couldn't finish Poor Things. I stopped after 20 minutes. I am glad that I waited for streaming instead of seeing it in a theater. If I had to go to a theater, then I would have been stuck watching the whole stupid thing. No, I don't walk out of a movie. Walking out won't get my time or gas to get to the theater, so I never walk out.
I sat through the whole thing. (The whole poor thing) And....It was a steaming pile of pretentious shit. I can't believe this film got the recognition it did. I've seen a pattern with Yurgos' movies, he makes movies not for the sake of art. But to just make people feel uneasy or uncomfortable.
I didn't even want to watch it in the first place but I was with other people. I honestly can't believe that this movie was well-received. I agree with mrhappy5236, it was done simply to make the viewer uncomfortable.
Glad it wasn't just me. I couldn't stomach more than half an hour of this pretentious bore of a film, with its dubious paedophilic undertones. I streamed it free, so I skipped through the rest, and was glad I hadn't wasted any more time over it!
Since this is a What Culture link I imagine there might be a wrestling fan or two. "Hell Comes to Frogtown", starring the legendary Roddy Piper, definitely deserves at least an honorable mention
"The Singing Detective" is another trippy film. RDJr tries to figure out a mystery for a book he's already written. He's burned at the start, slowly recovering, becoming his alter ego, and Mel Gibson is his psychiatrist.
I watched "The City of Lost Children" (1995) and have no clue what it was supposed to be about. Did it have a story-line that I missed, or was it just a mish-mash of odd visual images?
I can think of three movies that had me saying "WTF" out loud after seeing. And during the movies as well. They are, in no order: • Hamlet 2 • Edmond • Being John Malkovich All three are probably good movies, I don't know. But I found them disturbing to the point that I haven't been able to bring myself to see them a second time. Especially Edmond. That son of a bitch gave me nightmares.
Every wonderful Quentin Dupieux movie belongs on this list. How about great movies like TimeCrimes, the Bothersome Man, Granny's Dancing on the Table or the recently released Boy Kills World
WhatCulture, please, please, please hire a copyeditor. Your videos are filled with tiny, infuriating mistakes that take me right out. Hell, I'd even copyedit for you for free.
As a coach I'm seen things changing being the most intelligent kid and the one with the best grades are the most popular now because of how technology has changed everything good grades are the in thing to do
The film that made me go WTAF? Has to be FRANKLYN. The constant switching between normalcy and whatever passes for derangement for the guy who believes that he exists in a world where any and all belief systems (And I'm talking about shit so crazy, scientology sounds relatively normal.) must be upheld.
I remember the conservatives used to get stomped by the smart people for claiming films promote sexual licentious, depravity and extreme gore. But the cons were right.
Just watching this lost to see if The Florida Project is on here. Hopefully in the top 3 slots. Worst movie I have ever wasted my time on. Edit: Whelp, it wasn't on here. I'm just hoping its because i had a bad trip and fever dream at the same time and made the whole thing up. Otherwise, why Willem Dafoe, why?
"Tiptoes", a notorious movie that is offensive toward the "little people" community due to the casting of Gary Oldman as a dwarf and the plot line that is in bad taste...
It was pretty grounded until the ending with the rival school murder plot and "final battle". Those last 10 minutes did feel almost like they belonged in a completely different movie. But I agree, it isn't in the same class as these other movies. 😅
I get the feeling words like surrealism and postmodern have become code for directors who mistake chaotically bad story telling with genius. More often than not cinematic genius is equivalent to blindly firing a gun loaded with paintballs and porn at a canvas and calling it art.
It was one of the worst movies I've watched in a long time I walked out of the theater and forced myself to watch it after everyone said it's so scary. It's not it sucks
generally a trailer gives you the idea of the film, y’all really scrapping the bottom of the barrel these days and some of your voices are annoying bring back jules more often as he’s calming to listen to
I can happily say that I didn't spend a dime to watch any of these films. I'm the type to only pay to see films that interest me... and none of these would even come close to interesting me.
Do you realize there is nobody left living who saw " Father Knows Best"??? Update your snide references!!! WE WANT ASH! WE WANT ASH!! WE WANT ASH!!! ASH, not this aaron nerd who refers to things from 75 years ago. ASH IS COOL. WE WANT ASH!!!
