16 Strangest Movies Everyone Should See

14 March 2013 | Features, Film Lists | by David Zou

There are movies you see, and then there are movies you experience. This list compiles 16 of the strangest movies that must be seen to be believed. They break all the rules to surprise us, challenge us, and give us one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. If you are bored of watching those Hollywood cliches, this list of 16 strangest foreign movies is what you need for a change.

 

1. Possession

A young woman left her family for an unspecified reason. The husband determines to find out the truth and starts following his wife. At first, he suspects that a man is involved. But gradually, he finds out more and more strange behaviors and bizarre incidents that indicate something more than a possessed love affair.

Possession is definitely the film that requires many subsequent viewings. Excellent performances that frequently go way OTT, dreamily fluid camerawork and migraine inducing metaphorical horror, this is a true beast of the imagination.

The horror that constitutes the film obviously has its roots in the female hysteria. Watch this scene below and you will find the most hysterical female performance in movie history played by legendary French actress Isabelle Adjani.

 

2. Sweet Movie

“Sweet Movie” is very bizarre, surreal, funny and at times disgusting. It’s like Alejandro Jodorowky and John Waters teamed up to make a film. There are so many strange images in this film, I can’t even remember everything I witnessed.

Unfairly labeled as excessive and perverse, this film is really a very fascinating, intricate study into the recesses of the sexual mind. It looks at sex in all it’s complexities. It exposes it as a very primal need. It also shows how the sexual side of the person can have a personality all of it’s own.

    I’ve seen some of these films. I don’t find some of them to be strange.

  • rvernon

    No Naked Lunch. No interest.

  • VoudeauxChild

    Wow, what a crappy list.

    Thanks for making it a ‘guy’s’ list. Way to alienate half the population. And I agree, rvernon, Naked Lunch should never be missing on any strangest list.

  • Ghoul

    I’m not understanding why this list was made to be made gender-specific. That being said, I’ve, again, yet to see any of these movies. A couple of them seem interesting, but the others seem like they’d be a self-indulgent director’s wank-a-thon.

    I would add Holy Motors, You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet, Lisztomania, Pigsty, Sombre and Funnky Forest (if that last one is indeed a film)

    Are you sure that Possession clip is from the film and not a Patti Smith video?
