Ok we have had the list for Best and Worst films, but I was just wondering what has been the weirdest film you have ever seen.
For me it'll be 'Oh Lucky Man' I don't often find things weird but that film I do. I must admit I haven't seen it since I was ten, but it made a huge impression on me.
Anyway. Onto you all. Do tell I'd love to know if there is a common pattern.
Cheers

Mulholland Drive is probably the weirdest one I can remember seeing.

There's a bunch for me that kinda fit into that parameter of weird, but weird is a nice way of saying completely fucked.
The first time I saw FIGHT CLUB, I walked out of the theater with this weird look on my face that said "what the fuck did I just see?" Any David Lynch movie, if it's good or bad, will have moments that make me go "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK" because it's so random and bizarre.
FREAKS is deservedly one of the most bizarre and fucked up movies made. The plot itself is laughable and melodramatic, but just seeing all these circus performers and the big reveal at the end just destroy any sense of normalcy in it.
But off the top of my head I can't name a movie that was so incomprehensible and bizarre and surreal that it made absolutely no sense and could be in a surrealist art show.

First would be BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. What was weird about it was that it was so cheesy, so unfunny and so bloody awful (the Fran Kuzui, Kristy Swanson, and Donald Sutherlandness of it), yet so unbelievably fresh and funny and wonderful at the same time (the Jossness of it...and that it led to a really great TV series that will stick with me until the day I die). Weird!
SERENITY...after seeing the trailers, why the FUCK did no one but us run to the theater?!!! Why weren't people more curious as to why we're so passionate about it?

A.V.Club Interviewer: "What can you say about Goners, the horror-fantasy film you're developing?"
Joss Whedon: Well, there may be some female empowerment in it at some point. [Laughs.] I don't know who put that there. It's the same brew that I tend to brew, which is a combination of horror, and heroes, and people crying, and female empowerment. It's the thing that's made my career..."
(For Joss)

I was thinking Lynch would get a mention or two 
So Freaks eh... You saw that too... That is weird and disturbing. I watched it all the way through once, and I won't be doing it again...

Donnie Darko, kind of a stock answer but I don't see a lot weird movies.
The Fountain could qualify except I turned it off after about 15 minutes.

Twelve Monkeys - Had that what, Why, Where and duh feeling first time I watched it.
Think it is pretty good now after another watch but at the time I just went wibble.
Why have they taken the sky from ME

My weirdest movie would have to be ...
Entre tinieblas ( Dark Habits )
It's a Pedro Almodovar film ( in Spanish with subtitles ) about a bunch of nuns who are either on drugs or just insane .
It was incredibly funny and weird as most of Almodovar's movies are.
Definitely worth a viewing !!!
I guess Eating Raoul would be my second vote
