Is "Do the Right Thing" funky and off-beat?
What about "Jacob's Ladder"? |
Jacob's Ladder was a serious let down. There was a lot of build up. The movie's pre-publicity was something about it being declared one of the best unmade film scripts in Hollywood and finally someone went and done made it.
Meh. |

How about Andy Warhol movies?
" etween 1963 and 1968, he made more than sixty films. One of his most famous films, Sleep (1963), shows a man (John Giorno, with whom Warhol had a relationship) sleeping for eight hours. The 41-minute film Blow Job (1963) is one continuous shot of the face of Tom Baker, receiving oral sex from Willard Maas. Another, Empire (1964), consists of eight hours of footage of the Empire State Building in New York City at dusk. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Warhol
There's also, Eat...you guessed it, someone eating, in this case Andy Warhol eating a mushroom...for 45 minutes.

I read somewhere that he meant Sleep to be a prank on the movie critics and judges at the Cannes Festival. |

Probably the most tasteless films are any of the less commercial ventures of the legendary John Waters, especially if they feature the revolting excrement munching 'Divine' character. |
I saw Female Trouble recently and it was one strange film. There was one scene where the 'Divine' charachter has a baby, alone in a hotel room. After the baby is born Divine bites off the umbillical cord and spits it out on the couch. The movie is so over-the-top its hilarious. |

That's a good one. It came out around the time of the Bernardo thing. An interesting tie in. I loved how it toyed with your bias. |

Rubin and Ed, with Crispin Glover was pretty weird...but we ate a lot of blotter acid those days so that might have boosted the entertainment value of that flick.
The Closet, a french movie about a guy that pretends to be gay so he doesn't get downsized was entertaining.
Pinnochio with Roberto Benini was hilarious.
Breakfast of Champions with Omar Epps, Nick Nolte, and Bruce Willis was damn good. Gread adaptation from the book. Sufficiently surreal.
Jesus' Son with Billy Crudup is damn good. His nickname in the movie is priceless. |

Beginini's Il Monstro was pretty funny, too. A must for second language teachers, actually.  (You'd understand if you had seen it). |
