With the future of HMV seemingly in the balance, I got around to thinking about all the DVDs I've bought there over the years.
And remembered buying Koyaanisqatsi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRmrxYvm7iY
Got to be the strangest and most "off the wall" film I own (by the way, does anyone really understand it??!)
But are there any odder films out there you know about?

South African film about a married closeted gay man who becomes dangerously obsessed with an attractive young man. A good film but very very strange.
Eraserhead is the strangest film I've ever seen, a bit pretentious too IMHO, have no desire to see it ever again.
I know I've sounded off about this film on other threads, but this pretentious piece of c**p still gets up my nose!
And I'm a fan of Italian Horror movies, which is the subject matter.
Trouble is, it's just a representation of one man's descent into apparent madness, so there's no ending and no point!
I defy anyone to tell me what the final scene means!
The Critics all raved over it though ....:mad:

I don't think Eraserhead is the strangest Lynch film even, Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me is arguably more surreal. And Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives is more odd than any Lynch.
Not seen those so I cant comment, in general I don't like Lynch's style, though Blue Velvet was pretty good.
Twin Peaks FWWM has this scene: I was worried about today because of the dream I told you about
And that's the only scene Bowie is in, and there is no further explanation for his character. I love that movie.
I did unfortunately (at a Film Festival), and it really didn't improve it! In fact there was a LOT of shuffling and tutting going on when the "Nature documentary" interrupts the film...
2. Hausu (a satire, granted, but still crazy)
3. Cujo (a St. Bernard dog as a rabies-infected vicious killer? lol)
4. a Malaysian, Singaporean or Thai film with a talking head that floats across a city on a killing spree while it talks about philosophy, death, life and love (it kills by biting or chewing on a victim's head)
If you like Clerks,you would love this as well.
Sean Connery in an orange nappy and a giant stone head that shouts "The penis is evil." are a couple of the highlights!
