Truly strange films

Ohhhh. Gotcha.

 

I found Punch Drunk Love to be more enjoyable after watching it a couple times. Didn't like it the first time I saw it. Saw Love Liza, too. Odd premise, but it doesn't compare on the weirdness scale to Happiness. What does Phillip Seymour Hoffman see in these weirdo movies?

 

Bully

 

Forbidden Zone is my numero uno.

Herve Villechaize plays King Fausto of the Sixth Dimension and Danny "Oingo Boingo, Formulaic Post-1990 Film Scores" Elfman plays Satan. And it's a musical of sorts. 'Nuff said.

 

The Man Who Cried -- Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and an as-yet-unhuge Cate Blanchett. It's set during WWII in France. Ricci plays a Jew who's father disappeared. Depp's a Gypsy and Blanchett is a wanna-be singer (IIRC).

 

Same here. I didn't like it after watching it once, but it stuck with me for a couple of days (ala Lost In Translation and Eternal Sunshine). After watching it again, I liked it more. Actually, I think it's a great movie. The two previously mentioned moveis are better, tho.

 

Like I said on myd_b'ed thread, Barton Fink wasn't made in Hollywood, it was made in What-the-Fuck-ville.

 

After Robert Preston gives Julie Andrews a shot to relax her for her nude scene, Ben asks if she'll be all right.
"It depends on what you mean by all right," said Preston. "I once cured an amateur skydiver of accute acrophobia. You can say he was all right because he jumped. But you could also say he was not all right because he was so stoned he neglected to open his parachute."
I love that line.

 

The Wizard of Oz. Flying monkeys? Talking lions? A wicked witch?

Can you say "peyote?"

 

Isn't there a freaky scene with a naked Jennifer Connolly in Mullholand Drive?

 

No, that would be Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Herring.

 

Oh, I guess I was thinking of Mulholland Falls.
