For me, the weirdest is a tie between "The 5,000 fingers of Dr. T," and "Zardoz." The latter of which I saw once while under the influence of Timothy Leary's favorite substance. That was disturbing.

I met Henry Winkler when I was a teen at an airport. I was maybe 15/16 (1995/6), was sitting and gave him thumbs up not wanting to bother him since he seemed like he was busy heading somewhere. He actually stopped and walked over to start talking to me.

I too came across Henry Winkler at LAX. Late night, he was walking alone from one of the outer gates toward the street exit. He looked exhausted. The thought came to me to ask for an autograph or just say I like his work but he did not look up to it. I nodded as we passed each other on the otherwise empty walkway.

'The Lighthouse' isn't an excessively weird movie, but it was one of my weirdest movie experiences. Me and my cousin spontaneously caught a 3 o'clock matinee of it with no idea what we were going to see. There were only 4 people total in the room, nobody said a word, nobody made a noise. Attendants never came into the room. We all sat down, watched the movie, got up and left. We weren't sure afterwards if it had all been a fever dream or not. Still one of our favorite movies

I watched it in like 2023 after seeing references to it around and a friend talking about it. I can't stand how the only horror movies anyone recommends me are blood and guts and generally meant to be as viscerally upsetting as possible. I really enjoyed the horror of it being more psychological.

So, Astoria Oregon. I went there first as a training deployment as an Army Ranger (Camp Rilea is nearby), and then went back for a Top Squad competition a few years later (still in the Army). The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop were filmed there and it was also referenced in Band of Brothers. I even recognized landmarks from the movies as we drove through the town. I've been to other places where movies were filmed, but no other place had quite the same feeling of nostalgia and awe as Astoria. I would move there in an instant. I don't know why, but the memories are really fond memories (despite the fact that the experiences were some of the hardest things I've had to do in my entire life).

Another HM for weird movies: 'Bubba Ho-Tep" I love the synopsis: After falling into a lengthy coma following a freak accident involving hip gyration, a now aged Elvis Presley wakes up in an East Texas nursing home, where he befriends Jack, an African-American senior who claims to be President John F. Kennedy. After residents of their quiet retirement community start dying of dubiously unnatural causes, Elvis and Jack discover that the perpetrator is Bubba Ho-Tep, an Egyptian mummy with murderous intentions.

From what I've heard he actually did that stunt himself. Winkler was an avid water skier. So it was a skill he possessed outside of his acting and they incorporated it into the show. But I've also heard he can't actually ride a motorcycle. So you never see Fonzie ride one. Although I think once he pushed one?

I have to agree with the black and white movies that just impressed me so much. They didn't have cgi or special effects or sometimes even much budget so they made their stories grab your interest. One of my favorite movies of all time is the Henvy Fonda version of '12 Angry Men' ; filmed as a stage play over two scenes, in black and white (don't ever try to watch a colourized version) and just let the actiing tell the tale.

@1pcfred 3 ай бұрын

They had special effects. The earliest movies mostly relied on gimmicks. While artists experimented with the media. The whole movie magic thing. There's a story about a scene in King Kong which was stop motion animation and in it a flower bloomed instantly. Because it was just taking so long to do the shots. That ruined that footage and they had to do it over. Everyone was like look at the magic flower! That took away from the action they were trying to film.

Capra's "Meet John Doe" and Wilder's "Ball Of Fire" are two great pre-war films pairing Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper. Barbara's acting is always astounding - the directors always made sure they got an early take with her, because she always has zany spontaneity in her expressions, that can't be repeated. Like the priceless look she gave in "Ball Of Fire" before she went to stand in the sunlight for Gary Cooper.

I actually had a similar experience with a celebrity. I drove from Fresno, CA to Las Vegas, NV to see a "Weird Al" Yankovic concert. As I was waiting outside for the venue to open up, I saw Teller (of Penn and Teller) hanging out and talking to someone. I wanted so bad to go up and meet him but I also didn't think celebrities really like to be bothered while they're just trying to have fun (although I'm sure he would have been gracious about it) so I opted just to leave him be.

Immediately I thought how he had finally taken that concept to its completion when he created Pinhead in the Hellraiser movies and wrapped the entire head of a character in that nail grid.

For favorites, The Philadelphia Story is also up there on my list! You'd think there's nothing about it that younger Gen X guy would like. But I was hooked the first time I saw it. The heavy sarcasm helped (most of my 30s and 40s favorites are loaded with that). But as you say, the acting is incredible, the scenes are beautiful, and it draws you in.

I ADORE "FORBIDDEN ZONE" such an amazing film.I think I'd almost make it if that was the only film I had to watch ... I adore Danny Elfman 🌻

Refer Madness. Id say that goes well into the "weird" category. Incredibly funny as well

Every time I see Adam with a Snapple my mouth literally waters. I miss Snapple. You cannot get it in Minnesota anymore. I miss the cold glass bottle and the wonderful lemon tea

The Wayward Cloud was absolutely bonkers. Closely followed by Gozu.

Henry Winkler is by far the nicest human I have ever met, he is a wonderful person and he makes you feel like you have been friends your whole life. Would recommend meeting him if you ever have the chance.

My favourite weird animated movies have to be Wizards by Ralph Bakshi, and Fantastic Planet. For live action the Weirdest movie I've seen is Holy Mountain, but my favourites would have to be Stalker, and Simone of the Desert.

My favorite weird, wtf is going on film is Buckaroo Banzai. I know it's not up there on the weird scale with Eraserhead, but I love it. I do have the Criterion Collection DVD of Fantastic Planet - I'll dive in some day...

I just bought the Philadelphia Story for my husband. I can't wait to watch it.

It is a wonderful film.

Eraserhead was just early body horror. You want weird, try Zardoz

An hour drive from you is Bodega Bay. Spooky to see areas from 'The Birds.'

I enjoy visiting places where movies were filmed, I know Adam is going to Chicago later in the year. The home alone house and Woodstock IL (groundhog day) are very fun visits. I try to get a different place in every time I go to Chicago

I don't quite have the words to describe how much I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on the eraserhead baby, even more if we got to see you make your own

I didn't catch him on the bridge of the Arboghast the first time round. It was only when I was rewatching the show that I heard him speak and saw his face, realizing that he was on the show.
