        Oh, this is soooo wrong.
        absolute horrible dreck, my family put it on one xmas and after 10 minutes I had to leave has to be one of the worst acted, scripted and performed films I ever had the misfortune to see (ten minutes of)

          Might try to download it.
          that's not that weird a film actually, its not straight hollywood but nowhere near as weird as the other films mentioned as it does make sense by the end whereas Eraserhead?! god I hated that film!

          not a weird film but a complex one is 'Primer', anyone interested in watching it don't go and read the reviews as it will give away the plot just go download it - its not a horror, or weird or dark or scary, its proper Science Fiction (not sci-fi). I'm not sure any other film has had me scratching my head for so long, after a couple of watches I still haven't quite got it - loved it though.

          Donnie Darko is one that I thought was better before I understood it. When I saw it I worked out what I think was happening, then I read a plot summary online which was far more complex than what I think happened and I prefer my simpler version of events - awesome film though!

            Been driving me mad trying to remember....
            Don't remember the food being served on trains but, otherwise, reminds me of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.

            Peter Greenaway is another weirdo director.

                Ok...let's start with this. Seriously weird....



                And then some of this...



                I was going to mention Eraserhead, but since that's been done, how about some of this ?




                And finally, something to lighten the mood....



                Welcome to my life...
                Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
