One of the craziest B-movies that I've seen is "The Stuff". A movie about an alien substance sold as ice cream. Another very bad movie is Adrenaline with Cristopher Lambert. A sort of monser hunting in the subterraneans of buildings connected by galleries. Totally dark. It could have been put on radio.
On the good side, very disturbing and challenging, everything by Alejandro Jodorowski. Immortal Ad Vitam by Enki Bilal is very particular, but one that I really loved was Dersu Uzala by Akira Kurosawa. A long movie full of adventure and open spaces in the frozen Siberia. 

But the absolute unique masterpiece is 2001 a space odissey. There has never been another SciFi movie like that. I have discovered Ligeti thanks to Kubrick (and he wanted to use also Atom Heart Mother for the soundtrack but was denied by Waters)  
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Love In The City (1953)

I just saw this three days ago.. Probably the best movie I've seen this year. It's sort of a fictional documentary, with voice-over, and segments (anthology) by directors like Antonioni, Fellini, and the great writer Zavattini... Basically centers around young women going through problems - suicide, prostitution, love troubles, poverty.

I'd love to see more of these.. The only other "fictional documentary" I can think of is "The Connection" made almost a decade after, directed by Shirley Clarke.

John Carpenter's - They Live - comes to mind

It's still more relevant than ever

I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. Robin Williams.

Valhalla Rising
Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas
Pink Flamingos

If something is unique, it is unique. There's nothing like "the most unique"...

Oops, sorry. I wasn't serious at all. Magus (2008) has a "unique" wizard battle. At least, I haven't seen something similar in any movie. Believe me, I've watched tons of movies with wizards in it. Wink

Two wizards... One of them is purely evil, the other is achingly good... Guess who won? Party

Good luck with "finding" the movie, though.

Actually, the greatest wizard's battle scene is from Ralph Bakshi's animated film Wizards (1977). If you haven't seen it, the scene is priceless and shocking.

^ Yup. Agreed. I didn't say the one I mentioned is the greatest, but I saw nothing similar to that. 

Wizards (1977) is a real treat.

Images made no sense in terms of impact (like ironing a newspaper, or a racy novel against one"s chest or the inability to express your feelings because of social position or tradition) . I have watched it at least 20 times by now and it still has so much juice. Each scene has a purpose, though wrapped under a veil of diffidence, once you see how it is all so subtly interwoven, it is quite a revelation. My favourite movie all time (no sex, no violence, no action but a  lot of deep internal drama). 


Yep, brilliant film😎

Let's add Dark City (1998) to the list. It wears its influences quite obviously on its sleeve, but it's very much an "open to the viewer's interpretation" film.

Agreed. Hated the fight scene though
Especially considering Rowdy Roddy Piper's background. I guess it was his chance for a 'Predator' moment. Big Time "B" Matinee movie for sure. Haven't watched it in decades, time to put it on.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music
