Wierd, in a good way:
-anything from David Lynch (love it)
-Being John Malkovich (brilliant movie)
-Bin jip (serene, poetic)

Wierd, but not my cup of tea:
-anything from Lars von Trier (too pretentious for me)

Wierd, and embarrassing:
-The Matrix sequels ("you are the eventuality of an anomaly"? Sure, whatever)

Then again, I've yet to see Battlefield Earth...

 

[Whisperelmwood]

Strictly Ballroom (Australian wierd! I have a thing for Baz Lurman films XD)
Event Horizon
Labyrinth
Velvet Goldmine
Holes
Donnie Darko
Cube
Perfect Blue (for the anime buffs - if you've not seen it, do so!)
The End Of Evangelion (more anime! - it's effed up, seriously)
Harvey (invisible six foot white rabbits? What's NOT to love?)
Big Fish

Neh - there's probably more - but these are the ones I think of as 'weird' and love XD

Also, I never thought Akira was that weird - the books were far wierder >>

 

[ediblenapalm]

I got a few more I remembered today

Phantasm and Phantasm 2
Nightbreed
Lair of the White Worm
Fantastic Planet
12 monkeys

was gonna to add Perfect Blue and Harvey, but Whisperelmwood beat me

 

[philebus]

I agree with many already posted, so I'll just add a couple more that come to mind...

Tears of The Black Tiger - a Tai film that crosses technicolour musical, western, and gangster with a strange 50's look. Amazing!

Paprika - another Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue has already been mentioned)

Repo Man

Tampopo - Japanese film about food, sadly there is still no DVD release

La Lectrice - French film about a lady who works reading to people. Stranger than it sounds but a favourite of mine.

City of Lost Children

Delicatessen

Last Year in Marienbad - French, don't try to understand it, it's just a great trip.

Innocence (no, not the anime) - just disturbing!

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari

Weekend - I have enjoyed Godard films but not this one

Nosferatu - both versions

 

[enterman]

The Motel
Park
Storytelling
A Clockwork Orange
Pan's Labyrinth
The Evil Dead
Dear Zachary
Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things
Feast

All good movies, though Feast isn't for everyone . Some are not considered "weird" but I think can still be mentioned unless you define "weird". Numerous others could probably go here...

Primer - A very, very weird (low budget) multi-timeline time-travel movie.

Any movie that can result in someone having to create ^^^ diagram to explain it has to have something going for it. It mostly went over my head though.

 

[Ulysses]

Cannibal Holocaust.

i don't think this is for explaining a film i think it may be for making the film...
but don't quote me on it

 

[CosmicSpork]

A Scanner Darkly ?

 

[infrared]

Batman and Robin, I don't even know what is going on!

 

[IBSpify]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Dark City (myself included)

 

[enterman]

Batman and Robin, I don't even know what is going on!

they were just trying to return to it's cheesy roots which, I believe they did an excellent job of:

 

[GoodKat]

cheesy roots

That's not the original either, it was a comic, a decidedly un-cheesy comic...

That crappy show was so campy because of the ridiculously tight tv regulations of the time.
