INLAND EMPIRE by the all-mighty Lynch
His latest movie, the most weird and hardest-to-get-into. Worthy of buying along with a soundtrack

Has anyone seen this Hungarian movie called "Kutya éji dala" (The Dog's Night Song)? I saw it at a theater last year and thought it was amazing, and now I'd like to see it again, but apparently it hasn't been released on DVD.

Don't rent it. You'll be sorry.

Oh God, I made the mistake of seeing that movie. That was so weird.
|
I really liked that movie. But then again I really do like weird movies which don't explain everything.
Has anyone ever seen "Zardoz", starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling? Now that is a completely weird movie. Connery runs around in what looks like a red diaper, with strips of ammo across his bare chest and a gun in hus hand. It looks hilarious.

Yes I did and liked it. I like also "The man who fell on the earth".

John Woo's Hard Boiled- finally put back into print on DVD, this is Woo's finest achievement (The Killer usually gets that honor, and it's hard to make the call, since they're both masterpieces). Great plot, insane and innovative action, and no one looks more cool firing gins than Chow Yun Fat.

Serenity by Joss Whedon.
When I first heard of it I was skeptical as I was never a fan of the Buffy series. But I'd never seen Firefly, and after my brother's recommendation, I watched the film and was delighted! Definitely recommending this one. I might look into the series as well...

The directors cut works better, more background info and....
...you get to see Patrick Stewart play a Chapman Stick specially desinged for the movie to look like an acoustic instrument. He does a good job of emulating the fingerings.

Dune was a brave, but flawed attempt at filming the unfilmable. As Frank Herbert fan I hated the film when it first came out, but with subsequent viewings I've come to quite like it.
Prior to Lynch there were two other attempts that were started but failed to see the light of day - the first by Alejandro Jodorowsky, featured set-desgins by Moebius, Chris Foss and HR Giger, a script by Dan O'Bannon and a soundtrack by Pink Floyd; the second by Ridley Scott was also to feature artwork by Giger, but Scott abandoned the project to make Blade Runner instead.

A man and a woman (in french in the original) by Claude Lelouch.. just a masterpiece, with few words, master strokes of filmmaking, very subtle ways of showingnhow the relationship is created, everything is so great.. elegance, fantastic music... a piece of art.

Thank you, my favorite movie. Ron Perlman was brilliant and the whole retro-future set could make almost any story stand up, let alone a good one.

After Hours. Different from other Scorsese movies, but also one of his
best, full of great characters and very funny in a Kafkaesque way.
There's even a direct Kafka reference!

Hot Fuzz, a hilarious look at buddy cop films. It is also a great buddy cop film in its own right, in the same way that Shaun of the Dead was a pretty good zombie flick in addition to satirizing the style of film

^  Zardoz.. the gun is good
other weird ones; 'Rhinoceros' with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, 'Valley of the Giants' (great 60s sci-fi romp), and Harmony Corin's completely bizarre 'Gummo'
