I enjoy off beat films, that make you think or surprise. Can be disturbing or not. Any recommendations?

Robot and Frank - love this film and it should be more well-known than it is.

MillieMollyMandi · 11/02/2023 08:53

Predestination- definitely unusual!

Going back a few decades, Delicatessen.
A very odd film.

What a brilliant thread! So many excellent suggestions too.

Nuts in May is rather wonderful.

Great thread, quirky films are my cup of tea! Some of these are quirky and light hearted and some are a bit more disturbing / odd.

What We Do in The Shadows
The Menu
The Lighthouse
Donnie Darko
Anything by Peter Greenaway
What We Did on Our Holiday - bit more mainstream but has enjoyably quirky aspects
Sightseers
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Wild Men
Greener Grass
Triangle of Sadness (The Square by same director also very weird)
Flux Gourmet (In Fabric and Berberian Sound Studio by same director also good and deeply weird)
Brian and Charles
Sorry to Bother You
Swiss Army Man
Safety Not Guaranteed
Napoleon Dynamite
American Animals
Dean Spanley
Harold and Maude
I don't feel at home in this world anymore

And some quirky / odd documentaries:
The Sparks Brothers
Cannon Arm and the Arcade Quest
My Old School
Finders Keepers
Tickled

Thanks to everyone who has posted, I will be looking at your recommendations.

Martyrs

Most of the films by Pedro Almadovar. All About my Mother especially. Same as noted with Ruben Ostlund.

Black Cat White Cat. It’s in Serbian so subtitled but is very quirky and definitely bizarre!

Brilliant!!! We regularly sing 'We're going to the zoo she said, we're going to the zoo; I'd like to go with you she said, etc, etc...'

Our kids sing it too and have no idea what it is.
