Battle of the Worlds.
It had Claude Rains in it. It was Italian and he was the only actor I recognised. It was not bad. Just a Grade B science fiction movie. The premise was good, just poorly written. I was surprised Mr. Rains was in this film. His career must have taken a dive. He just kept chewing on old cigar stubs, belittling everybody, and praising calculus. Oh and was very pleased with himself every time he was right and everybody else was wrong.
If I am allowed I have a second one, the "Kill Bill" series. I enjoyed them as a spoof. Gotta love the fight scene in the resturant with the "88". It looked like Monty Python created that scene.

Various weird ones that spring to mind...
Head (featuring The Monkees)
Tetsuo - the Iron Man
Ring (the original Japanese version)
The weirdest one I've got on DVD I suppose is Being John Malkovich...
Select to view spoiler:
particularly the bit where JM does the very thing you're waiting for him to do...
Now I'd like to see the novel Blood Music by Greg Bear made into a film... the Outer Limits episode The New Breed had a very similar premise, but copped out pathetically before it really got anywhere. Blood Music takes it to its extreme conclusion.

Oh yeah. MALKOVICH was definitely a screwed up movie, but in a good way.

Mine would have to be Freeway with Reese Witherspoon and Keifer Sutherland. A twisted take on 'Little Red Riding Hood' with a teenage juvenile delinquent on the run from a social worker traveling to her grandmother's house and being hounded by a charming, but sadistic, serial killer/pedophile. Definitely strange, but I love it!

Brazil definately falls into that categorie. All the time I'm watching this (I was a teen at the time) I was either going wtf or freaking out. And the end... you don't normally see endings like that.
There are plenty I can't even remember but there are two that still to this day makes me say "What the hell did I just watch? I just don't get it or understand the premise." Those would be the Matrix sequels. Seriously to this day I don't get who the twins or the person they worked for were or what their significance to the film meant. Or the whole Keeper or whoever of the Matrix. When people try to explain it I say "That makes no sense."

That's easy - Zachariah - "A head of his time." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068011/ Described by one person as "the geniuses of the Firesign Theatre adapt Hermann Hesse's 'Siddhartha' into a comic musical western."
Hey, you guys like westerns with fiddle (and other) music, right? Somehow, though, life in this movie isn't quite like Joss shows it on the outer planets!

Oh yeah, that reminds me, The Man Who Fell to Earth starring David Bowie... there is a scene where he's in a car going past where a village of hillbillies was about 150 years previous. He can see them, and they can see the (future to them) car going past and are freaked out having no idea what it is, the scene accompanied by some nice old fiddle and banjo music.

Naked Lunch without a doubt. I saw this one about 15 years ago and to this day have no idea what the hell was going on in that film.
Honorable mention to Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. What the fuck was up with that one?

I've seen a lot of weird movies...and I don't discount movies just because they're weird...but Oddishon, or Audition. That was one stange f'n movie!
And, don't watch it just because I mention it here. You might save yourself some therapy bills.
