■ 🕑 1. Weird movies │ Saw Donny Darko with the wife. It's an interesting movie: it │ encourages us to doubt objectivity, reality, virtue, truth while │ also encouraging the audience to sympathize with a psychotic vandal, │ criminal, killer. │ │ 20+ years after the fact, I'll say Donny Darko is not so "DEEP" or │ world changing, especially relative to all the multiverse / timeline │ hopping stuff that became so trendy since its release, but it's still │ a fine movie to watch and enjoy for its general conceit... │ ├─■ 🕑 2. │ Moon (2009) is a good one. Guy goes up to the moon and finds something │ that he's not supposed to. │ ├─■ 🕑 3. │ I remember Noroi: The Curse being pretty good. Weird mockumentary/found footage │ kind of thing about this girl who's cursed by an ancient god or something, and │ there's this tinfoil hat schizo guy that helps them get out of it. │ They all die at the end, though │ ├─■ 🕑 4. │ Highly recommend Perfect Blue (1997) │ ├─■ 🕑 5. │ Matango (1963) -- yacht gets caught in a storm and washes up on a │ strange island. Then: mushrooms! │ ├─■ 🕑 6. │ │ pi by darren aronofsky │ │ very schizophrenic lots of computer hardware │ │ │ └─■ 🕑 7. │ this one's a classic. I'm so glad it was shot in black and white. Not a │ hipster, but black and white can be so kino. Don't you think │ Dr Strangelove (1964) would be so worse in color? │ │ I saw the new Godzilla Minus One in color then later saw the B+W one. │ that was somehow way better. │ └─■ 🕑 8. El Topo is a good one - a psychedelic Western released in 1970.
It's about a gunslinger in a nameless desert searching for enlightenment. The movie deals heavily in Western and Eastern spiritual symbolism and philosophy. A lot of bizarre occurences and characters - the movie at parts is very surreal and almost comedic and in others is dramatic or very violent.
It's been watched by and has inspired a lot of creatives and in my opinion should be watched at least once by anybody who says they enjoy cinema.
