Action movies and romantic flicks used to be the most popular movie categories but things have changed over the course of years. People are more inclined to watch a weird movie that has a chance of blowing their minds, rather than going to see another action packed superhero movie. The term “weird movies” is used quite loose and it doesn’t exactly define a specific category, but I’ll try to make it clear through this list.
Irreversible
“Irreversible” is definitely the first movie that comes in my mind when I hear the term “weird”. The movie is basically a horror drama and not many people will be able to watch it until the end.
Natural Born Killers
This is a movie about two people that became infamous after getting in the spotlight by the media.
The Lobster
Collin Farrell shows the entire world his acting talent in this weird movie about how a not so far away society is obsessed with couples.
Rubber
A movie about an evil car tire, can it get weirder than this?
O.J.: Made in America
Just as the title says, this is a documentary about the life of O.J. Simpson and how he got away.
The Truman Show
A movie that plays with the idea that we’re always being watch by someone. Jim Carey is incredible in this movie!
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Another awesome and weird Jim Carey movie. The entire plot is centered around a woman that’s trying to wipe her boyfriend’s memories.
Mysterious Skin
The movie revolves around a young Joseph Gordon-Levit that’s obsessed with alien abductions.
The Imposter
This is a really creepy movie about a guy who pretends to be a family’s long lost son and tries to live with them.
Labyrinth
In this movie you will be able to see David Bowie helping a little girl get out of a labyrinth that’s filled with mythical creatures.
Amelie
Jean-Pierre Jeunet is the man who directed this movie and it shows how a quiet girl is able to discretely orchestrate the lives of others.
American Psycho
This is the movie that made Christian Bale famous. Christian Bale takes on the role of an rich American man that’s in love with himself.
The Big Lebowski
This movie is so good! You’ll be able to see quotes from the Dude (main character) everywhere you go on the internet.
Fight Club
A movie starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, what do you need to know more? The only thing I need to say about Fightclub is that it’s a masterpiece.
A Clockwork Orange
Stanley Kubrick is the visionary director behind this really weird but incredibly interesting movie.
Lars And The Real Girl
First off, this movie will seem weird because it doesn’t show Ryan Gosling as a knight in shining armor that gets every girl he sets his eyes on. The movie’s plot is about a very shy man that wants to let everyone know that he is in a relationship with a doll.
Her
This movie is set in a future society where a man (Joaquin Pheonix) falls in love with an operating system (Scarlet Johanson).
Black Swan
An intriguing movie about a ballerina (Natalie Portman) and the struggles she has to go through on a daily basis.
Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer
The movie is set in 18th Century France and it shows a man that’s obsessed with making the best perfume and how he tries to obtain the scent of youth from girls.
Being John Malkovich
A puppeteer somehow discovers a special method which allows him to enter in the mind of none other than John Malkovich himself. This is as weird as it gets.
Mr. Nobody
Jared Leto finds himself in the year 2992 and he is the last mortal man on Earth. The movie is focused on Jared Leto’s memories and the different lives he could’ve lived.
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
Johnny Depp and Benicio del Torro play two characters who are carrying a bag to Las Vegas and things start spiraling out of control.
Groundhog Day
A weather man known as Phil (Bill Murray) gets caught in a storm that sends him in a time warp which forces him to relive the same day over and over.
Spotlight
An intriguing movie about the Boston Globe and a special team of journalists who are trying to write a story about a priest.
Citizen Kane
Citizen Kane first came out in 1941 and it is directed by Orson Wells. The movie is focused on deciphering the last words of a newspaper magnate and the mysteries that come with it.
