Weirdest film you’ve ever seen. Today I watched saltburn…

[Cerealkiller4U]

So today me and hubby decided to sit down and watch saltburn. Thank god we decided to watch this just the two of us and not with his or my parents.

it’s the strangest film I’ve ever seen. I adore strange films and my previous weird film which I loved was ‘dogtooth’

this one really goes above that for strangest.

so tell me your weirdest. Strangest films you’ve ever seen!

PS. Has anyone else seen saltburn? What did you think?

Yeah that's the one. It's very thought provoking but left me with a sick feeling.

I like dogtooth

I like a strange film and made thd mistake of watching the Snowtown murders, horrific and played on my mind after

Loved Saltburn and a lot of films mentioned here.

I will add The Bad Batch on Netflix. Just bizarre.

also Brazil which is an oldie but a goodie

Yes that was disturbing! Good though.

I had to leave just before the end. I knew where it was going!

People have a different idea of what is weird, clearly, though. I think I've learnt that when critics label something a black comedy translates to super-weird for me.

I tried to watch Beau is afraid yesterday.

I had no idea what was happening 😂

Tusk has to be the weirdest film ever made

I was going to say that!!

"The Saddest Music in the World."

Lamb.
Followed by Men.

My 18 yr old DC, film buff has this in DVD. He likes all sorts. Celine and Julie go Boating and Agruirre Wrath of God are amongst the oddest. Mainstream oddities - well 2001 a Space Odyssey and The Shining stand out for me. I can’t stay in the room for the latter

With Antichrist a close second 😳

Pretty much anything by Peter Greenaway
Eraserhead
Delicatessen
Martin ( 1977 horror )
Antichrist
A Serbian Tale

Fabulous thread 👌

That scene where he comes out of the tent 😳

That's one of my favourite horror movies 👌

I quite enjoyed Saltburn, but mostly felt it was a millennial toff reworking of The Talented Mr Ripley rather than anything really new and different.

Weird films that stay with me are Delicatessen and Calvaire (more disturbing than weird). Someone upthread mentioned the Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughan film The Cell - agree! Despite the very mainstream actors it is full of very, weird dark dreamscapes that stay with you.

I really enjoyed Saltburn.
(Just placemarking for recs)

In a time when films weren’t made to be intentionally confusing I saw Vanilla Sky and had no idea what was going on. More recently Midsommar.

I enjoyed Saltburn. There were a lot of 1980s Brideshead Revisited vibes (teddy bear on the coffin!) but it was darkly entertaining. I couldn’t work out where I’d seen Barry K. before. He was the young lad in The Banshees of Inisherin with a flawless West Irish accent.

Many moons ago, Breaking the Waves and
Wild at Heart both left me feeling very uneasy as did Betty Blue

Peter Greenway's The Thief the Cook, his Wife and Her Lover
The Draughtman's Contract and A Zed and Two Noughts have all stayed with me too.

Most films with Dennis Hopper in are a bit strange, for example Blue Velvet

Lars Vin Trier films aren't an easy watch, and are weird but I love them.

Ooh!!! Gonna have to put that on my watch list!

Donnie darko was all about time travel!

hands down a brilliant film!

Wait. Is it like irreversible?!?

now that was a proper fucked up film.

I just looked at the synopsis for titane…..

it does indeed look strange!
