"The Gingerdead Man", with the gingerbread man voiced by Gary Busey...
I like shitty horror movies alot and even I couldn't stand this
Some shitty horror movies I liked, though were Satan's Little Helper and Uncle Sam
Yes Gingerdead Man sucked a major amount of ass.
However this movie by the same studio was pure gold.
Tommy Chong's actually only in it for about 5 minutes and there's only two sets in the entire movie, but yet somehow the creators were able to make the perfectly shitty movie.
After bringing us the beautiful Puppet Master series, Full Moon Productions can do no wrong in my eyes.
Next to fantastic planet, there was another animation that I watched as a child:
Allegro Non Troppo - I honestly would kill for a pal DVD at this point, right now my only hope is that my family can tape it when it gets shown in a few days (I don't even have a vcr anymore and don't catch that channel anyway )
Especially the Bolero sequence is so fucking awesome.
Weren't there even more of those really weird cartoons? I think I watched most of them as a child and I remember some of them scared the shit out of me (i remember scenes of people walking/getting chased in ruins or being in labyrinths all in the same style as Fantastic Planet - that stuff definetely messed me up a bit).
Oh, another, but probably much more well known movie, still really strange - Yellow Submarine (the price for that DVD makes a grown man cry)

I don't remember there being any labyrinths, but the Fantastic Planet people did another movie called Light Years.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

This old animated movie from the 70s called Wizards.
It's about 2 wizards who are brothers fighting each other millions of years in the future, one is a good wizard who only uses magic and nature and the other one uses scavanged technology from our era, including Nazi propaganda to brainwash soldiers.
Surprisingly enjoyable, though it may have had something to do with my state of mind at the time I saw this movie.

Holy crap someone else who watched that.
I watched it when I was like, 14 at 1 AM.
Some parts were just creepy.
yeah, when i was 12-15, my family got cinemax for free, and it was on one night. scared the crap out of 12 year old pants boy, what with the nazis and violence and crap, but now pants man saw it again recently and realized just how horribly hilarious it actually is.
Pants Man on
"okay byron, my grandma has a right to be happy, so i give you my blessing. just... don't get her pregnant. i don't need another mom."
Wow, Fantastic Planet is great... I only watched part 1 on YouTube, and I wish I could've understood what they were saying (subtitles would be great), but it's artistic and intriguing nonetheless.

You'd wonder how they could fuck up this premise. All they needed to do was have a guy in a beard and long robes fighting a bunch of vampires. But Jesus loses the beard and the robe like ten minutes into the movie. The rest of the movie is a short guy with short hair in modern clothes fighting vampires. For all I know, the movie originally had nothing to do with Jesus and was just a generic vampire fighting movie, then they realized it sucked, added ten minutes to the beginning with the main character dressed as Jesus, and then slapped the title on there.
I have seen this movie and it is my favorite of all time.
This cannot be argued or disputed, for it is my unshakable opinion.

I don't know how many people have seen it in actuality. But Salo, or 120 Days of Sodom and Gomorra is quite possibly the most awful thing I've ever seen. It's not awful in the, "It's incredibly shitty," way. It's awful in the sense that this is a film of power and horror, amongst other things. A film so powerfully created, depicting and satirizing the atrocities committed by the leaders in power at the height of Italy's Fascist government, that the director was stabbed to death by a male prostitute.
If you can find a copy of it on DVD for less than a thousand dollars or even less than fifty, I'd say give it a watch. I couldn't sleep the night I viewed it, and horror movies generally don't affect me. It's that genuinely fucked up.
Begotten is another film that's severely strange, something I've watched three times and still feel strange at the end. Not film that's easily described and one that's certainly not easy to watch.

A few years ago, I happened to flip to showtime (we got it free in the dorms) and me and my roommate ended up watching this movie for almost two hours, keeping us up til like 5 am. We never got to the see the name, so we had to look it up the next day. I
t was called "Lord of Illusions." It was one fucked up strange movie. It centered around some guy trying to destroy his former cult and its leader, but there were so many things going on in it that it was just crazy. I guess I would urge anyone who enjoys strange sci-fiish movies to take a chance and watch it.

Wizards was an interesting film. Like much of Bakshi's movies, it's rough. It's worth watching, though, if you want to see what an independent feature length animation looks like. From what I've heard on the creation of the film, much of it was animated in people's basements. And it's hard to really pull out a concrete plot out of the thing. It's a product of the 70s for sure. The strange movement of the characters reminds me of the Wand of Gamelon.
The weirdest film I've seen in a long time is an early Cronenberg film called "The Brood." Basically, every time a woman gets mad, boils pop up on her neck. Eventually, weird demon babies pop out of these boils and enact her rage. I wouldn't call this a shitty movie, but one of the strangest.
This is a fucking great movie. It would be even more awesome going into it knowing nothing, but if you must know:
"The film depicts an underground trade in luck; where fortune flows from those who have less to those who have more. Rooted in magical realism, the premise purports that luck can be amassed and transfered as any other commodity."

Just read through the cuts made in germany in the 70s (which where then again included in the rereleased version in 2003, it seems) and what the movie is about - I don't think I really want to see that

i know a lot of people might have heard of Brown Bunny, but i bet only like .01% of those people have actually seen it.
i just have to give props to gallo for writing, directing, and starring in a movie for the seemingly sole purpose of getting his dick sucked
The only part of the movie I saw. ;-)
Gallo's flicks usually fall in the Pure Shit/Artistic genius camp, depending on who you ask. I think they're mostly pure shit.
The screening of the film at Cannes was a fiasco; the audience openly booed and made catcalls, reportedly bringing Sevigny to tears and prompting a humiliated Gallo to apologize for the film. Gallo added that the fact that several French critics were defending the film despite its unfinished state was "almost like salt in the wound."
At that time, many people predicted that this movie would never receive theatrical release in US.
Upon his return to America, however, Gallo took a defiant stance, defending the film and denying his apology. A war of words then erupted between Gallo and film critic Roger Ebert, with Ebert writing that The Brown Bunny was the worst film in the history of Cannes, and Gallo retorting by calling Ebert a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader." Ebert then responded, paraphrasing a statement once made by Winston Churchill, that "one day I will be thin, but Vincent Gallo will always be the director of The Brown Bunny." Gallo then claimed to have put a hex on Ebert's colon, cursing the critic with cancer. Ebert then replied that enduring his colonoscopy would be more entertaining than watching The Brown Bunny. Gallo, afterward, stated that he had been misquoted and that the hex had actually been placed on Ebert's prostate.
hahahahaha
I think the funniest part is that then Gallo re-edited Brown Bunny, cutting 26 minutes of footage from what had been shown at Cannes, and then Ebert re-reviewed it and said, "And now it's a pretty good movie, that sucks nowhere near as much. Except for, y'know, that one part."
This is a fucking great movie. It would be even more awesome going into it knowing nothing, but if you must know:
"The film depicts an underground trade in luck; where fortune flows from those who have less to those who have more. Rooted in magical realism, the premise purports that luck can be amassed and transfered as any other commodity."

The film was made $7000, but has an ending better than movies made for 1000x as much. 9 timelines to keep track of and the high level physics central to the story make it worth watching multiple times.
I first saw the movie one random day on IFC, I was confused as hell, because I stumbled upon it a quarter of the way through. I caught it again three hours later on IFC west, but didn't think to hit the DVR. It's an awesome movie.

Primer isn't really strange, and certainly not shitty. I don't think it really belongs in this thread.
If you sat random people in a room and let them watch the movie fully 80% of them would walk out going "GUH?"
So a movie is strange because most people are retarded? I mean, sure, the timelines take a few viewings to sort out, but the core plot of the movie makes perfect sense and doesn't take a massive intellect to understand.

Sure, the core plot of two dudes going back in time is the same as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, but the presentation was unusual. No one was screaming about Jigawatts or going 'Woah'. The only other movie I've seen use physics as a plot device was in physics class, and it was boring as hell. The movie is unusual and strange because it is entertaining and so damn good.

Oh, that reminds me. 120 Days of Sodom was written by Marquis de Sade, and we all know what kind of guy he was, right?
Well, turns out they made a French muppet-like movie over his imprisonment. I picked this up after hearing it was like Meet the Feebles, but it's just... christ. It features torture, fellatio, sadomasochism, a giant animatronic talking penis, all the sort of stuff you'd expect from a movie about Marquis de Sade, but... with muppets. I don't know what to do with my copy, 'cause I sure as hell never want to see it again - it is an experience, though, and I'm sure it has its share of artistic value.

No one's mentioned Ed and His Dead Mother, yet? I think it fits all of the requirements for this thread. With a bonus Buscemi. As the main character, no less, which in itself is rather strange.

In the original version, there was an endless, pointless sequence of Bud driving through Western states and collecting bug splats on his windshield; the 81/2 minutes Gallo has taken out of that sequence were as exciting as watching paint after it has already dried. Now he arrives sooner in California, and there is the now-famous scene in a motel room involving Daisy (Chloe Sevigny). Yes, it is explicit, and no, it is not gratuitous.

Regarding The Brood, those things didn't pop out of her neck...
She had like an external egg sac/uterus thing they came out of. Watch until the end.
My wife, a HUGE David Lynch fan, has been rewatching the Twin Peaks series so it's a bit on my mind lately. For such a huge fan of his she refused to watch Eraserhead with me so I had to watch it alone. She can't put it to words but she just can't watch it. It's very weird.
There's low frequency noise throughout the movie, your ears can't hear it but it's enough to create a feeling of discomfort.
