The Good The Bad and The Wierd

[Ancient One]

Ghost World is a classic. Loved everything about it, especially the ending with Enid just ... moving on. A total gem.

Its possibly THE most under rated film Ive ever seen. Its a shame that Thora Birchs performance in American Beauty has overshadowed this one as she gives one of the best, most subtle acting classes in any movie. So much in this film is down to small nuances of character and direction that it is enthralling to watch. The fact that very little happens in the movie of any import only emphasises this. It is totally entertaining from start to end and I really do think it needs a reissue on DVD with the full treatment to make more people aware of this gem.

I do think Thora Birch was good in Ghost World, but on viewing Scarlett Johansson's performance in the supporting role I knew this actress had star quality.

Yes Visitor Q is probably the most bizarre film that I've seen. Eraserhead is pretty funky too but I've not watched that in years (not out on DVD either).

I suppose there's Brown Bunny too although that would have to sit in the bad category really and not just weird.

I thought this was going to be a post about the film called The Good, The Bad and the Weird..! It was shown at the Leeds International Film Festival recently but I couldn't make although I know someone who went and said it was amazing! Another weird one from the film festival though, Tokyo Gore Police. You may not have heard of it but it's about criminals infected with something that causes them to grow deadly weapons out of bits of them that have been chopped/shot/blown off! It's completely insane and an absolute riot from start to finish!

miike, lynch films come to mind.
taxidermia was the most recent wtf ("Gyorgy Palfi's grotesque tale of three generations of men, including an obese speed eater, an embalmer of gigantic cats, and a man who shoots fire out of his penis"), apart from salo...

I have to go along with David Lynch movies. Lost Highway totaly freaked me out. When that scary guy talked to himself on the phone all the hairs on my body went up! A great movie I've watched several times, but didn't realy get that "Bill Pullman - The Kid" switch. Can anybody tell me what's that all about?

I don't know about wierd, but for me Oldboy has that jaw dropping, not know what the heck is going on 'oh my god he's cutting out his tongue' feel to it!

The Man Who Fell To Earth....a sci fi classic and one of the most visually unusual films ive ever seen.
