my turn

[AllaN01Bear]

what was the wierdest. strangest oddest movie you ever saw.
one of my fave strange ones was flash gordon 1980 , esp with the drum solo by kiss when the ship entered the royal vortex

[FalloutShelter]

1. OMG Flash

Brian May guitar riffs and Queen score with wild Italian costumes. Max Von Sydow in crazy Ming drag.
CAMPTASTIC!

[AllaN01Bear]

2. indeed.

i had read where the ming suit was around 90 lbs and the actor could wear it only for a few minutes at a time

[FalloutShelter]

3. The costumes were amazing.

I read about the designer. There were hundreds of thousands of bugle beads used to construct them.
I used to do costume design so I am a nerd about this stuff.

4. i have great respect for any actor who wears a costume for that . esp godzilla ,working under hot bright

arc lighs or in genearl the guy who drove the barney the diansaur suit made mods to it. inserted sneakers in the feet so he could walk. added a fan so he could breathe and a micro television camera and monitor so he could see where he was going.

6. Max was a pro.

8. heh

[Elessar Zappa]

5. Muholland Drive, I think.

I tried to watch it when I was about 16 but it was too weird for me. Maybe I should give it another shot.

12. Great scene:

7. Very odd indeed, but NO cigar.. :)

My choice is a hidden gem(?) of a movie called "Zachariah" (1971) the first
Electric Western (so billed).
Stars Don Johnson (!) The James Gang, Country Joe and the Fish,
NY Rock and Roll Ensemble, Doug Kershaw, Elvin Jones...

and here's the full movie for the truly intrepid:

9. El Topo

Very hard to describe but I'll try. It's
a bloody messianic allegory hiding in a hallucinogenic pornographic western. I liked it the first time I saw it back in the early '70s, but that might have had something to do with the drugs I had consumed. Years later I tried watching it straight and couldn't do it.

10. Jodorowsky. It's a classic

El Topo

It's definitely enhanced with hallucinogenics

[Bozvotros]

11. That trailer captures the flow of the movie very well.

As there wasn't any real flow in the move I could detect. But at 18 years old and very high, much of it seemed incredibly cosmic and meaningful.

13. "Freaks"

Saw it on acid on a double bill with Night Of The Living Dead. I stayed psychedelic free for several days thereafter! 😎

14. Rocky Horror

I'm a bit surprised to be the first.

But then most of those mentioned I have never hears of (Freaks, I had, but i had assumed the celluloid had disintegrsted decades ago.)

[Mr.Bill]

15. Eraserhead.

Very strange movie.

16. A Boy And His Dog...
