| I've seen a few and two that stick out in my mind are Brazil and Fellini Satyricon. Quite unusual. |

Yeah, I dig anything by Terry Gilliam and Federico Fellini.
A few other directors, who's films you might enjoy (and/or find bizarre), are: Alejandro Jodorowsky, David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Ken Russell, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Vincent Ward, Peter Greenaway and Richard Kelly. |

| Bizarre movies? Well, the most recent one that I just finished watching was "Secretary". "The Piano Teacher" and "The City of Lost Children" are two French flicks that are really cool, yet pretty bizarre. "Donnie Darko" was also a good one. |

Jean-Pierre Jeunet was one of the writers of, and co-directed, The City of Lost Children, and Richard Kelly wrote and directed Donnie Darko. |

Yeah, I've seen some Lynch (Wild at Heart, Lost Highway not Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet), Cronenberg (Crash), Jeunet/Caro (Delicatessen, City of..., not Amelie). Thanks for the tip on the other guys (I've heard of them but not seen any of their work). |

I prefer disturbing movies over bizarre ones, which I don't really consider the same thing.
One movie I enjoy every viewing is Gummo by Harmony Korine. I haven't seen Julien Donkey Boy, mainly because of it being unavailable in this area, but I can imagine it being a masterpiece as well.
It's a shame that Harmony Korine never completed Fight Harm, a film about him picking random fights and getting beat up. Here's a summary off his Web site:
| harmony-korine.com wrote: | Fight Harm
I go around provoking passers-by, trying to start a fight while the video camera follows me and films everything. It's very brutal -- I've already broken a collar bone and been arrested. The punches and kicks are all real, it's one of the most disgusting things you'll ever see. |

| Vulgar is a pretty bizarre movie (I guess more disturbing for elchrist). It was directed by Bryan Johnson and I think it was written by Kevin Smith. |

| I really don't know what to think of movies like Midnight Cowboy and Easy Rider. Maybe making movies on drugs isn't such a good idea. They both start out ok but then they try to show what it's like to be high and I lose track of what the fuck is going on. |

Vulgar is an excellent film. Bryan Johnson wrote and directed it himself. Dude needs to put more effort into shedding his View Askew-lackey image and focus more on projects like this. |

If you want to watch a really well-made, disturbing movie, I recommend Irreversible. It's the perfect date movie. |
