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...

Why do they keep making this sh*t. Who the heck goes to see this?

One word - Eraserhead.

Mulholland Drive

Another Lynch contender is Blue Velvet.

Does anyone remember a movie where all the protagonists were in a restaurant and all the food was brought to them to their tables on large scale model trains? LGB probably...

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.

Watched some of Oldboy at the weekend but my head was not in the right place for it, very weird.

Oldboy (2003) - IMDb

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!

Mamma Mia! on ITV1 at the moment.

Star studded cast - Meryl Streep, Pierce Bosnan, Julie Walters, Colin Firth.

Thus far, middle aged wimmin dancing to Abba hits.

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)

La Cabina:

La.Cabina.(1972).FS.TVRip.DivX5.avi

I thought it translated as "the coffin", but I don't know any Spanish.

It would translate as box or booth. As in telephone box...

I remember seeing it years ago. Still spooks me now thinking about it.

Morvern Callar - not least for the soundtrack. I can never decide if Aphex twin are for real or just taking the piss.

Another David Lynch effort...

Mulholland Drive

[stek]

That's the one.

Cheers! Not sure I could actually watch it now though!

Sounds like it - this was the Swedish version I must have seen from 1976 which sounds about right;

Förvandlingen (1976) - IMDb
