Really? He did that? Well, shagging one-legged female students in a Southern girl's school is a bit unusual...it could indicate either a generous nature or simply a total lack of discrimination or particular requirements on the man's part. Clint is known for making the occasional rather odd movie...

I gotta go rent that one if I can find it, eh?

So how come no one has mentioned "Eating Raoul"?

I vote for Amazon Women on the Moon. It is purposely weird, but weird nonetheless. I really liked it, so I guess I'm weird as well.

"Teenagers from Outer Space" is a very peculiar film indeed.

How did I forget Shadow of the Vampire!!!!?!!!! Weird, you bet. I also think that Willem Dafoe as the vampire is one of the single greatest pieces of acting I have ever, ever seen.

On another note, Jimmy Stewart is hands-down my favorite actor of all time. I always seem to go in for the tall skinny guys.

Okay, but how about a movie starring Jimmy Stewart and Woody Allen together, Kim?

Lair of the White Worm was on the Space channel last night.

A couple spring to mind...

"Zardoz" with Sean Connery -

"Repo Man" - former Monkee Mike Nesmith's celluloid masterpiece. Fox Harris as J. Frank Parnell, should've won an Oscar. He had the movie's best lines and the best character.

Out of the ones mentioned that I have seen, I thought "Magnolia" and "Vanilla Sky" (notwithstanding Penelope Cruz's collagen-lipped delivery of some of the stupidest lines in cinematograpy history: "That's the saddest woman I've ever seen holding a martini glass.") were fairly straightforward (and good) films (strangely enough they both starred Cruise)... nothing too offbeat about them.

"Eyes Wide Shut" was pretty weird, not to mention boring and tragically sad that a great director (Stanley Kubrick) ended his career on such a yawner.

I agree with Fellini's movies being weird - the only one out of the ones I have seen that I was almost able to comprehend was "8 1/2" ...

The Lynch movies I've seen rank up there with the "weird."

One that I haven't seen that I've heard was pretty weird: "Brewster McCloud" with Bud Cort.

Robert Altman's "Three Women" with Sissy Spacek was offbeat.

...oh - And Pi was pretty straightforward too. Good story, nice premise, very interesting.

...and finally, "Videodrome" with James Woods and Deborah Harry was pretty strange.

It was on the tip of your tongue. "Dancer In The Dark" Bjork and Lars von Trier.

The movie in which Clint Eastwood plays a Civil War soldier taking refuge in a southern girls' school is called, "The Beguiled." (1971)

Brewster McCloud was just plain awful. It was Altman with a big budget and the usual lack of a story line, only here it did not work at all. I've always wondered what kind of dent that put in Bud Cort's career. Three Women at least had a point.

"Jesse James meets Frankenstein's Daughter" is only part of the fun. This reference reminded me that the all time fav movie of my dearly departed brother was the highly acclaimed (I'm not sure by exactly whom) Japanese classic called "Billy the Kid vs Dracula." I do recall going home to the folks many years ago & finding my brother sitting there late one night watching it. It was a scream!

Anyone seen Dogville? Sounds strange (speaking of Lars von Trier).
