No, I'll look out for it, though.
Forbidden Zone was a flick done by the Rocky Horror peeps (if memory serves), and starred Herve Villachez as a king of a certain dimension- a musical, and it's from the late seventies/early eighties.
Makes you feel like you're stoned watching it (not in a good way).

Alice in Wonderland.

I watched this again recently and I don't think I'd ever realised how weird it was.

Naked Lunch - now that film deserves an oscar for being probably the most bizarre flic I have ever seen.

Also I have thought of several more flics which all should get an oscar for wierdness.(maybe I should have made this a top 20 list - lol).

David Lynch's - Eraserhead

Stanley Kubrick's - Clockwork Orange & Eyes Wide Shut. (Actually I think all of the Kubrick stuff I have seen is wierd).

Stuart Gordon's - Dagon (Anyone not familiar with the works of H.P Lovecraft don't have a hope of getting this film.)

Ed Wood's - Plan 9 from outer space(I actually own this one - Shhhhhhhh don't tell anyone).

Being CRACKERS provides sanity in an insane world!

I don't have ten but I'll throw in four that I haven't seen on anyone's list so far:

2001 - Took me a long time to figure this film out and even now that I get it the movie is still trippy, especially the last fifteen minutes.

Naked Lunch - Just weird.

Boxing Helena - Again very weird.

Jacob's Ladder - Great flick. The whole "entire movie was just a dream" thing was still a fresh concept at the time.

I haven't seen half the movies you guys are mentioning. But someone did touch on Cronenberg films, and eXistenZ qualifies for both being a Cronenberg film and being weird (I own it though). Also on the scary but bizarre side is Jacob's Ladder. I didn't know what to think while watching it...I also own that movie. But to quote Lucas from Empire Records, "Always play with their minds...." I typically enjoy bizarre films if they're not just being weird for weirdness sake. Do you think that's a commentary on me? Probably not.

I'd agree with all of those, but I'd probably have to put Eraserhead at the top of the heap. Those little people in the radiator give me the creeps every time.

I would like to add another. Have any of you seen ZADOZ with Sean Connery? How they convinced him to be in that is beyond me. Completely senseless.
