sorry, dollar is weak and I'm low on cash. Good luck though!

oh, Fellini's Casanova too

Hi Fredo, the only one i've seen is Night of the Hunter, which i felt was ruined by an extremely poor ending

El Topo
The Holy Mountain
The Last Winter
The 400 Blows
The Terror Of Tiny Town (can't get much weirder than a western with an all midget cast)
Bad Boy Bubby
Recent blogs: Cloudcroft Mirror 7inch  

Oh, man, I LOOOOVE that ending! But to each his own. I can understand your feelings. Some folks think it's a bit sappy. I really feel it to be true though. None of my other recommendations is similar though. I only recently discovered Hawks and Sparrows, by Pasolini. It's really amazing. Quite surreal, funny, disturbing and sad.

Also, I recommend 400 Blows as well. I'm usually not a huge Truffaut fan, but this one really moved me. Also GREAT music.

And if you have a strong stomach, please check out Sweet Movie, which might be one of the most shocking films I have ever seen. And on that note, also see The Idiots, by Lars Von Trier if you already haven't.

I felt existenZ was the weakest Cronenberg I've seen.

ill sponser you GOOD LUCK!

I like the The Idiots and Von Trier for that matter.
Dom, i blogged about The Holy Mountain (as being 1 of the strangest movies i've ever seen) back in the old days of em pages

Alphaville (one of my faves)
Deconstructing Harry
Another Woman
Dead Man
+1 Night of the hunter
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Chinatown
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Mysterious Skin
Forbidden Zone (by the Elfman brothers) - weird and insane making
All that Jazz - Bob Fosse's autobiographical film - just plain odd
Network
Oldboy - fucked up and intense

Also:
Pan's Labyrinth
The Sweet Hereafter (so haunting and beautiful)
Cache
Crumb

licence, again, to each his own. And I think there really is an awkwardness to eXistenZ but somehow it's endearing to me, and I actually watch that movie like once or twice a year. I really enjoy it. Maybe it's the great soundtrack, some of the cinematography or Jennifer Jason Leigh's strange and wonderful performance. But that movie is somehow really comforting to me!

+1 for Sweet Hearafter.

Seen the Sweet Hearafter, i thought it was good and evoked a certain feeling but was lacking in something. I can't remember exactly but wasn't the story unresolved somehow?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was a complete mess imo but maybe that ws the point?

i liked Deadman, Chinatown, Network and Oldboy. I have crumb on dvd but have never watched it in it's entirety (shame on me!)
