I'm sure David Lynch movies fit in either category depending on the person. I can think of two of his right off the top of my head Eraserhead for strange and Blue Velvet for shitty and strange. Dennis Hopper is a plus though for a really insane character.
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.

I've heard many say Manos holds the title for worst movie ever, and I've not seen it, but my brain can't imagine a movie worse than this.
I only saw it because I knew Danny Elfman was in it, and it was directed by his brother I think.
This thing is utter garbage. It's all in black and white and is some unintelligible story about a looney(very cartoonish, not at all in a good way) family and some exploits into the underworld, I think.
I can't remember what it's called, but I remember as a kid watching some random late-night movie from Russia. It was pretty cool but really strange; basically a crew have been selected to go on the first long-range space mission after going through loads of tests. Their cryogenic machines fuck up mid-flight and they all awaken to a video of Earth being blown up. One by one they start going crazy and killing themselves until the final two realise it had all been another test and that they were still on Earth.
Rubin and Ed is a great but wierd comedy. Howard Hesseman is a failure in life and is going to a seminar called The Power of Positive Real Estate and must get someone else to come to the seminar with him. He meets Rubin (Crispin Glover) who is a shut in and lives in a hotel run by his mom. He spends his days listening to Mahler and squeaking a rubber mouse. HE's forced by his mom to go find a friend. Eventually the two of them meet and drive out into the desert to bury Rubin's dead cat.
"MY CAT CAN EAT A WHOLE WATERMELON!!!"
Speaking of Crispin Glover, whom I'm surprised wasn't already mentioned, check out What is it?
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

Funny, I thought that's why most people got into filmmaking.
Not, uh, not that I'm the sort to ever, you know, be interested in that kind of thing...but, you know, was it even a good BJ?
Yep, but only if you see it out of context. If you just see the clip of the BJ, it is great. But if you see the whole scene, it really takes away from the porn factor.
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.
I loved the first Chud, but Bud the Chud was pure shit; except the tastes great, less filling scene.
Speaking of CHUD, when we were showing that at the theatre I worked at back in the late 80's, my brother heard a customer ask for 1 ticket for, and I shit you not, "Creature Huddled up Under the Dirt.
We lol'd.
Hell, it's still pretty funny almost 20 years later.

Well, in your defense, Ralph Bakshi is sort of an insane genius. Check out Fire and Ice...he collaborated with Frazetta on that one.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091059/ In 1978, a boy is moved 8 years into the future and has an adventure with the alien ship that is responsible for that.
I actually have pretty fond memories of that movie. I can't objectively say if it's good or bad because of nostalgia.
Manos, the Hands of Fate. Literally, "Hands, the Hands of Fate."
Made by a guy who took a bet that he could make a horror movie for virtually nothing. The audience laughed him out at the premiere, and his career was ruined. It is incredibly hilarious to watch because of how incredibly bad it was. Got resurrected by MST3k, so can be found somewhat easily that way.
Uh. I don't really think the guy who made it had his career ruined. He wasn't really a movie guy. He was a real estate agent or something.
However, several cast members committed suicide after the movie opened.

I was going to post this also... but I differ on how good it is. It is either the best movie ever or the worst. I would say it is worth watching if you like freaky out there movies. The music is not half bad since it was pretty much Elfman and Devo doing the sound track.

Think Battlestar Galactica crossed with Star Trek gone horribly wrong.
Dolph Lundgren has an entire line of action movies (He's Ivan Drago from Rocky IV). This is pretty whorish of me but I've got so many I made a webpage for it:
I did it several years ago in college, and every now and then I get a kick reading these.
Keep in mind I bought all of these movies at Best Buy or Media Play...except for I come in peace I paid $2 to have that shipped after buying it for $1 on ebay.

Yeah, I've seen that bit, and it is indeed a good BJ, but when I later read about the context of it, I couldn't help but think how fucking absurd and weird that is.
But either way, getting your ex to suck you off on film, and presumably getting someone else to finance the whole deal, is pretty impressive.

I loved that movie. It developed my love of Crunch bars.
I'm not sure how well known this movie is or isn't, but my friends and I went through a Horror movie phase after Scream came out, and we would just rent buckets of movies and watch them in the background of sleepovers.
Anyway so the worst of the bunch that I remember was the one featured above: Monkey Shines...it's just so damn terribly god-awful....I just now found out it was directed by George Romero of Dawn of the Dead fame. The subtitle provided me a good dose of morning humor too .

If you ever wanted to see a movie about Buddy Holly fighting death himself in an alternative world where Russia nuked the United States... Then this movie is for you! Surprisingly good fight choreography and a rocking soundtrack by the Red Elvises await!
Christopher Lambet, Ice-t, Mambo music... This movie was on late at night on Cinemax and surprisingly had no nudity in it. Decent enough action and the music was an interesting choice, sort of depressing ending, surprising for a b movie.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Now, imagine being about 7 years old and watching that. I had nightmares for the longest period of time - that scene in the beginning where they chase around the woman and her child is etched into my memory to this day with impeccable precision. I cannot even describe how uneasy watching that thing makes me feel.
Jesus
I think I was 6 when I saw it, cartoon tits and freaky aliens and all. This was about the same age I first saw Heavy Metal,Fire and Ice, and Rock and Rule (among others). It wasn't so much that my parents thought these cartoons were for kids - they knew better than that - they just didn't care much what I grew up watching. I think I was better off for it, anyway; these flicks were far more creative than most of the garbage that was on Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s.

The ending is great. The good wizard who embodies magic is about to have the showdown with the bad wizard who embodies technology and then
the good wizard just pulls out a 44 magnum and shoots his ass.
There's a rumor that the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons is based on Ralph Bakshi. I don't know if it's true. Bakshi was really a shitty animator - I mean, how can you fuck up rotoscoping for chrissakes? - but nobody else was making movies even remotely like his at the time, so he ended pretty influential... probably more influential than he really deserved.
Coincidentally, I was wasting time on the internet and watched George Lucas' inspiration earlier today, the short film 21-87.
I guess it's your general avant-garde film collage (I was at work and didn't listen to the audio), but I want to know - why are they sawing-up a human corpse at the very beginning?
"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.
