- DirectorRobert AltmanStarsSandy DennisMichael BurnsSusanne BentonOne day, Frances Austen, a rich but lonely woman, invites a young man from a nearby park to her apartment and offers to let him stay there--and has no intention of ever letting him leave.Well, I have no idea why it took me 5 years to list this bit of early Altman tweaky weirdness that I went back to see several times in 1969.

- DirectorHans Petter MolandStarsStellan SkarsgårdBruno GanzPål Sverre HagenAfter his son is murdered by drug dealers, a snowplow driver starts seeking revenge.The son of a honored snowplow driver... I'm going to stop right here because it's already weird enough.

- DirectorMatteo GarroneStarsSalma HayekVincent CasselToby JonesFrom the bitter quest of the Queen of Longtrellis, to two mysterious sisters who provoke the passion of a king, to the King of Highhills obsessed with a giant Flea, these tales are inspired by the fairytales by Giambattista Basile.Nothing weird about mixed reviews here. It's a bit hard to fathom this weirdness. Kind of like The Decameron without the fresco.
- DirectorRobert EggersStarsAnya Taylor-JoyRalph InesonKate DickieA family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.The mixed reviews are what's weird. This is f-ing great and f-ing weird.
- DirectorTom SixStarsDieter LaserLaurence R. HarveyEric RobertsTaking inspiration from The Human Centipede films, the warden of a notorious and troubled prison looks to create a 500-person human centipede as a solution to his problems.As I said with the first and second one I'm not recommending that you watch this. I won't be responsible for that but it's sure f-ing weird.
- DirectorHarry HornerStarsPeter GravesAndrea KingHerbert BerghofAn American scientist is able to contact and communicate with Mars with shattering political, economic, and spiritual repercussions.Red Commie paranoia weirdness. Frankly, I could not believe what I was seeing. A real curio.
- DirectorRick AlversonStarsGregg TurkingtonJohn C. ReillyTye SheridanEn route to meet his estranged daughter and attempting to revive his dwindling career, a broken, middle-aged comedian plays a string of dead-end shows in the Mojave desert.His is a weird world.
- DirectorBernard RoseStarsXavier SamuelCarrie-Anne MossDanny HustonA married couple of scientists create a modern-day monster.Weirdly brilliant
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBen AffleckRosamund PikeNeil Patrick HarrisWith his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.I feel weird adding this one. Everyone knows it's weird and I don't need to tell them. It's weird.
- DirectorDuncan JonesStarsSam RockwellKevin SpaceyDominique McElligottAstronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.I put off watching this for a couple of years for no good reason. It's nice and weird.
- DirectorVictor SavilleStarsVan HeflinLana TurnerDonna ReedA young man loved by two sisters becomes a naval officer and sails to New Zealand, where he drunkenly writes a marriage proposal to the wrong sister, profoundly affecting the life of the other.Plenty of weird things in this expensive trainwreck. Not since John Sayles has there been a romantic lead like Richard Hart. Not since the Michael Jackson/Lisa Marie kiss has there been a kiss as creepy as Richard Hart/Lana Turner. But the real reason I'm listing this turgid dung heap is for its earthquake sequence. It's worth the price of admission.
- DirectorJoseph LoseyStarsVan HeflinEvelyn KeyesJohn MaxwellAfter Susan Gilvray reports a prowler outside her house police officer Webb Garwood investigates and sparks fly. If only her husband wasn't in the way.Grimly weird.
- DirectorIvan BarnettStarsGwen WatfordKaye TendeterIrving Steen1950. Horror. A traveller arrives at Usher mansion to visit his friend Roderick (Kaye Tendeter) and discovers that Roderick and his sister (Gwen Watford) have been inflicted with a strange disease.A weird one-time exercise in atrocious pacing. Nerve-racking.
- DirectorGeorges FranjuStarsPierre BrasseurAlida ValliJuliette MaynielA surgeon causes an accident which leaves his daughter disfigured and goes to extreme lengths to give her a new face.Weird this hasn't been set to music....yet.
- DirectorHiroshi TeshigaharaStarsTatsuya NakadaiMikijirô HiraKyôko KishidaA businessman with a disfigured face obtains a lifelike mask from his doctor, but the mask starts altering his personality.Weird everything.

- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsGene HackmanJohn CazaleAllen GarfieldA paranoid, secretive surveillance expert has a crisis of conscience when he suspects that the couple he is spying on will be murdered.Unbelievable!! Takes me 3 years to list this one. Saw this twisted turn on a weird family outing (not mine) making it much weirder.
- DirectorJohn HustonStarsRichard BurtonAva GardnerDeborah KerrAn ostracized Episcopal clergyman leads a busload of middle-aged Baptist women on a tour of the Mexican coast and comes to terms with the failure haunting his life.It's 2:13 in the morning. Nothing weird about that. I'm watching TCM. Certainly, nothing weird about that. I'm watching a movie for the 12th time. And there's nothing weird about that. What is weird is that I hadn't included this oddball John Huston/Tennessee Williams' adaption. Years ahead of its time as was Beat the Devil. OMG
- DirectorAlex GarlandStarsAlicia VikanderDomhnall GleesonOscar IsaacA young programmer is selected to participate in a ground-breaking experiment in synthetic intelligence by evaluating the human qualities of a highly advanced humanoid A.I.What's weird about this is how good it is without any warning. A deep cerebral mindf@&$.
- DirectorPavel KlushantsevStarsVladimir EmelyanovGeorgi ZhzhyonovGennadi VernovCosmonauts land on the planet Venus. However, they find themselves in danger from the voracious monsters they find on it.When aren't Russians weird?
- DirectorBobcat GoldthwaitStarsBobcat GoldthwaitJulie BrownBruce BaumShakes is good at his job as party clown - when he's sober and shows up. Five druggy clowns frame him for the murder of his boss.Here's another I forgot to list. There's no way to be ready for this weirdness.
Bobcat is lovable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - DirectorRichard ShepardStarsPierce BrosnanGreg KinnearHope DavisA globetrotting hitman and a crestfallen businessman meet in a hotel bar in Mexico City in an encounter that draws them together in a way neither expected.Another one that's weird that I hadn't listed it before. Pierce Brosnan is absolutely brilliant but there's nothing weird about that. It is a f-ing weird movie, though.
- DirectorJennifer KentStarsEssie DavisNoah WisemanDaniel HenshallA single mother and her child fall into a deep well of paranoia when an eerie children's book titled "Mister Babadook" manifests in their home.Down-Under weirdness.
- DirectorDick PowellStarsJohn WayneSusan HaywardPedro ArmendárizMongol chief Temujin battles against Tartar armies and for the love of the Tartar princess Bortai. Temujin becomes the emperor Genghis Khan.John Wayne as Genghis Khan, shot on a nuclear test site and everyone had an early death from cancer. Watching this should make you feel weird.
- DirectorLeo McCareyDavid W. OrtonStarsWilliam HoldenClifton WebbFrance NuyenDuring the Chinese Civil War of 1949, the Communists constantly harass the two priests of a remote Catholic mission outpost.This is a movie Hollywood should be ashamed of. Appallingly bad writing, acting, direction, casting, stereotypes and sediments. Movie leaves a very weird taste in your mouth. Just a grotesque train wreck but just try and look away. It even has terrible blue-screening.
- DirectorJohn FordStarsAnne BancroftSue LyonMargaret LeightonIn 1935 China, seven dedicated missionary women try to protect themselves from the advances of a barbaric Mongolian warlord and his cut-throat gang of warriors.Well, to begin with Mike Mazurki and Woody Strode plays a Mongolian warlords!!!! Margaret Leighton as a the pompous Mother superior yearning for Sue Lyon's loins. It's all in very bad taste and makes for very weird viewing. And oh, that ending.
- DirectorSidney LumetStarsMarlon BrandoJoanne WoodwardAnna MagnaniValentine "Snakeskin" Xavier, a trouble-prone drifter trying to go straight, wanders into a small Mississippi town looking for a simple and honest life but finds himself embroiled with problem-filled women.Weird for many reasons. A Sidney Lumet misfire to start with. Absurd casting of Anna Magnani as Lady. Victor Jory, with one twentieth the screen time, stealing the movie from Brando. And last but not least, that it took all this time for me to list it.
- DirectorAnthony MannStarsRobert RyanTina LouiseAldo RayIn the 1950s, a poor Georgia cotton farmer and his sons search for the gold presumably buried on the farm by their great-grandfather, but problems related to poverty, infidelity, unemployment, and booze threaten to destroy their family.Well, one thing leads to another. I guess I'm in a weird rural frame of mind.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsEric BanaEdgar RamírezOlivia MunnNew York police officer Ralph Sarchie investigates a series of crimes. He joins forces with an unconventional priest, schooled in the rites of exorcism, to combat the possessions that are terrorizing their city.This scared the hell out of me and that's pretty weird.
- StarsArabella WeirRichard E. GrantJoanna LumleyA post-modern comedy series that spoofs the world of upper-class food.The weirdest cooking show, ever.
- DirectorSteve MinerStarsJulian SandsLori SingerRichard E. GrantA warlock flees from the 17th to the 20th century, with a witch-hunter in hot pursuit.The list is so old that sometimes I wake up in a weird sweat wondering if I included this one or that one and sure enough I didn't. Richard E Grant (Posh Nosh) is the hero in this little gem and that's what you call weird casting.
- DirectorDan GilroyStarsJake GyllenhaalRene RussoBill PaxtonWhen Louis Bloom, a con man desperate for work, muscles into the world of L.A. crime journalism, he blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.There's nothing weird about Jake Gyllenhaal being snubbed by the Academy for a Oscar winning worthy performance of a deathly determined sociopath . At least DeNiro was nominated for Taxi Driver. This was a snub.
- DirectorAlejandro G. IñárrituStarsMichael KeatonZach GalifianakisEdward NortonA washed-up superhero actor attempts to revive his fading career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway production.Typical Inarritu weirdness.
- DirectorWes AndersonStarsRalph FiennesF. Murray AbrahamMathieu AmalricA writer encounters the owner of an aging high-class hotel, who tells him of his early years serving as a lobby boy in the hotel's glorious years under an exceptional concierge.Charming weirdness.
- DirectorLuis BuñuelStarsFernando ReyCarole BouquetÁngela MolinaRecounted in flashback are the romantic perils of Mathieu, a middle-aged French sophisticate as he falls for his nineteen-year-old former chambermaid Conchita.I just realized I forgot to list this twisted weirdness I saw 37 years ago and it's fresh-as-a-daisy in my psyche. With this one Luis wanted you to know he wasn't just an avid misanthrope but a world-class misogynist, in particular.
- DirectorLuis BuñuelStarsSilvia PinalJacqueline AndereEnrique RambalThe guests at an upper-class dinner party find themselves unable to leave.I'm glad I waited 45 years or more to see this weirdness from the Spanish Misanthrope Luis Bunuel. I wouldn't have "gotten it". I should have waited another 15 years for Simon of the Desert.
- DirectorMichel GondryStarsMichael BrodieTeresa LynnFrancesca PintoA look at the lives of a group of teenagers who ride the same bus route and how their relationships change and evolve on the last day of school.Acting this uniformly excellent is always weird.
- DirectorDouglas McGrathStarsToby JonesDaniel CraigSandra BullockWhile researching his novel "In Cold Blood", Truman Capote develops a close relationship with convicted murderers Dick Hickock and Perry Smith.First, it's a strange feeling to have respect for Daniel Craig and second it's weird that PSH got an Oscar for a performance that doesn't hold a candle to this rendition by Toby Jones.
- DirectorDusan MakavejevStarsMilena DravicJanez VrhovecEva RasA love romance between older, respectable engineer that came in the industrial town to do some expert job and young hairdresser in whose house he stayed in and the consequences of that relationship, especially after young driver gets involved.Sex and politics will always be weird.
- DirectorDusan MakavejevStarsEva RasSlobodan AligrudicRuzica SokicA young female starts a love relationship with a serious young man. However, while he is away on business, she gets lonely and succumbs to her colleague's desires.Sex and politics will always be weird.
- DirectorMillard KaufmanStarsBen GazzaraStuart WhitmanRay WalstonAfter his death sentence is commuted to life in prison, John Resko (Ben Gazzara) is transferred from Sing-Sing to Dannemora Prison where, with the help of a humane prison guard, he becomes a rehabilitated man and a successful painter.Childhood favorite. It had Ray Walston and Sammy Davis Jr. and as a kid ten years old that was all I needed. It's weird to look back on it now. The Leonard Rosenman jazzed-out, downbeat score, the many cameos, one absolutely outtasight long dolly shot of Stuart Whitman and Broderick Crawford showing how it's done, Millard Kaufman's shmaltzy direction in his only directorial effort, the few innuendos they could get away with in 1962 and a patented Ben "I'm so conflicted" Gazzara turn made this stroll a nostalgic albeit weird one. Incidentally, I was curious to see who played Paradise but that will have to remain a mystery.
- DirectorDoug LimanStarsTom CruiseEmily BluntBill PaxtonA soldier fighting aliens gets to relive the same day over and over again, the day restarting every time he dies.I, recommending a Tom Cruise movie, now that's weird.
- DirectorE.L. KatzStarsPat HealyEthan EmbrySara PaxtonA scheming couple put a struggling family man and his old friend through a series of increasingly twisted dares over the course of an evening at a local bar.Inventive and that's weird.
- DirectorLouis MalleStarsPierre BlaiseAurore ClémentHolger LöwenadlerIn 1944, an 18-year-old boy from small-town France collaborates with the Gestapo and subsequently falls in love with a Jewish girl.These are here to warn you that nasty things happen to animals in these weird flicks. But I'm happy to say that befittingly not too long after this movie was made Pierre suffered about the same fate as the chicken whose head he knocked off. Louis' comeuppance was to be married to Candice Bergen. His punishment was much longer.
- DirectorLouis MalleStarsCathryn HarrisonTherese GiehseAlexandra StewartTo escape a gender war, a girl flees to a remote farmhouse and becomes part of an extensive family's unusual, perhaps even supernatural, lifestyle.These are here to warn you that nasty things happen to animals in these weird flicks. Louis' comeuppance was to be married to Candice Bergen. His punishment was much longer.
- DirectorRobert ParrishStarsRoy ThinnesIan HendryPatrick WymarkThe European Space Exploration Council sends two astronauts to explore a planet similar to the Earth but located on the opposite side of the sun.I forgot about this one which ain't so weird.
- DirectorTimo VuorensolaStarsJulia DietzeChristopher KirbyGötz OttoThe Nazis set up a secret base on the dark side of the moon in 1945 where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018.Weird remake of The Iron Petticoat with Christopher Kirby in Bob Hope's role. Weird Nazi comedy.
- DirectorRobert AltmanStarsDaniel JenkinsNeill BarryJane CurtinO.C. and Stiggs aren't your average unhappy teenagers. They not only despise their suburban surroundings, they plot against them. They seek revenge against the middle-class Schwab family, who embody all they detest: the middle class.An aberration of Robert Altman.
- DirectorJalmari HelanderStarsJorma TommilaOnni TommilaPeeter JakobiIn the depths of the Korvatunturi mountains, 486 meters deep, lies the closest ever guarded secret of Christmas. The time has come to dig it up. This Christmas everyone will believe in Santa Claus.What if Santa was an *beep* It gets weird up in Lappland.
- DirectorBilly WilderStarsWilliam HoldenGloria SwansonErich von StroheimA screenwriter develops a dangerous relationship with a faded film star determined to make a triumphant return.For almost three years I've neglected to include the one film that set the standard by which all other films will be judged as to their weirdness. Well, this is it. I whole-heartedly recommend Andy Warhol's remake Heat. It's a dilly.
- DirectorNorman FosterOrson WellesStarsOrson WellesJoseph CottenDolores Del RíoAn American ballistics expert in Turkey finds himself targeted by German agents. Safe passage home by ship is arranged for him, but he soon discovers that his pursuers are also on board.It goes to show that I've forgotten more movies than most have seen. This should have been here since day one. Supreme weirdness.
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJohn TurturroJohn GoodmanJudy DavisA renowned New York playwright is enticed to California to write for the movies and discovers the hellish truth of Hollywood.The weirdest parts of this are the people, like Shaloub, who are acting normally.
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsJohn CusackDianne WiestJennifer TillyIn New York in 1928, a struggling playwright is forced to cast a mobster's talentless girlfriend in his latest drama in order to get it produced.Woody resuscitated. Tilly is delightfully weird.
- DirectorArthur PennStarsGene HackmanJennifer WarrenEdward BinnsLos Angeles private investigator Harry Moseby is hired by a client to find her runaway teenage daughter. Moseby tracks the daughter down, only to stumble upon something much more intriguing and sinister.This isn't so weird that Melanie Griffith keeps her clothes on or anything like that. Susan Clark and Jennifer Warren get naked and the that's pretty weird but the good kind.
- DirectorFred CoeStarsJason RobardsBarbara HarrisMartin BalsamA middle-aged iconoclast, doggedly avoiding the tedium of employment and conventional life, faces the prospect of losing custody of his young ward.Some pretty weird actors. Extreme charm levels.
- DirectorSam WoodStarsAnn SheridanRobert CummingsRonald ReaganThe dark side and hypocrisy of provincial American life is seen through the eyes of five children as they grow to adulthood at the turn of the century.Get this, I hate Ronald Reagan so if I'm recommending this then it's got to be real good and plenty weird.
- DirectorStuart OrmeStarsDonald SutherlandEric ThalJulie WarnerThe Earth is invaded by stingray-shaped alien "slugs" that ride on people's backs and control their minds.Just your basis Sci-Fi weirdness.
- DirectorDavid TwohyStarsCharlie SheenLindsay CrouseRichard SchiffZane, an astronomer, discovers intelligent alien life. But the aliens are keeping a deadly secret, and will do anything to stop Zane from learning it.Not so basis Sci-Fi weirdness.
- DirectorBilly Bob ThorntonStarsTippi HedrenKevin BaconRay StevensonAlabama; 1969: The death of a clan's estranged wife and mother brings together two very different families. Do the scars of the past hide differences that will tear them apart, or expose truths that could lead to unexpected collisions?Good old country weird from weirdo supremo Billy Bob Thornton.
- DirectorJennifer LynchStarsVincent D'OnofrioEamon FarrenEvan BirdA young man held prisoner by a cab-driving serial killer must make a life or death choice between following in his captor's footsteps or breaking free.A different family unit.
- DirectorRyûhei KitamuraStarsLuke EvansGary GrubbsAdelaide ClemensA gang of ruthless highway killers kidnap a wealthy couple traveling cross country only to shockingly discover that things are not what they seem.A pleasant surprise. I have a weird thing for revenge movies.
- DirectorKinji FukasakuStarsTatsuya FujiwaraAki MaedaTarô YamamotoIn the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill one another under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.A bunch of high schoolers are taken to an island where they're told only one will be coming back. They are then left to their own devices. Hi-jinks abound.
- DirectorRian JohnsonStarsJoseph Gordon-LevittLukas HaasEmilie de RavinA teenage loner pushes his way into the underworld of a high school crime ring to investigate the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend.I should have added this 2 years ago. What's happening to me? I feel odd, like I'm getting old....and weird. (the old part is new, the weird part has always been there)
- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsRoman PolanskiIsabelle AdjaniMelvyn DouglasA bureaucrat rents a Paris apartment where he finds himself drawn into a rabbit hole of dangerous paranoia.It's weird that I put off seeing this for 37 years but it was worth the wait. Just plain fun, that is if you like weird.
- DirectorNicolas Winding RefnStarsRyan GoslingKristin Scott ThomasVithaya PansringarmJulian, a drug-smuggler thriving in Bangkok's criminal underworld, sees his life get even more complicated when his mother compels him to find and kill whoever is responsible for his brother's recent death.Let's give a couple of big hands to Ryan for always making as weird a movie as he can. Don't worry Ryan, nobody will notice how bland you really are.
- DirectorMichael FeiferStarsKane HodderAmy LyndonOdessa RaeDennis L. Rader systematically tortured and killed innocent victims for over two decades, evading the police for over 30 years while living a seemingly normal life as a husband, father, security officer and church president.Grade Z production values and horrific direction. This weirdness is driven by Kane Hodder's insane, nightmarish performance.
- DirectorFlorian Henckel von DonnersmarckStarsUlrich MüheMartina GedeckSebastian KochIn 1984 East Berlin, an agent of the secret police conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives.Twisted politics make weird bedfellows.
- DirectorAlejandro AmenábarStarsNicole KidmanChristopher EcclestonFionnula FlanaganIn 1945, immediately following the end of Second World War, a woman who lives with her two photosensitive children on her darkened old family estate in the Channel Islands becomes convinced that the home is haunted.A good ghost story, now that's weird.
- DirectorJean YarbroughStarsRobert LoweryVirginia GreyBill GoodwinAn unsuccessful sculptor saves a madman named "The Creeper" from drowning. Seeing an opportunity for revenge, he tricks the psycho into murdering his critics.Hey everybody, I'd like you to meet Rondo.
- DirectorHarold YoungStarsOtto KrugerVicky LaneAmelita WardOnce again, Paula Dupree, the Ape Woman, is brought back to life, this time by a mad scientist and his disfigured assistant, who also kidnaps his female lab assistant in order to have a female blood donor. By this time, Paula has brain damage from her experiences in the last film, so there's not much for her to do except wander around.This one features a more suave Rondo playing Moloch the Brute.
- DirectorGeorge CukorStarsJoan CrawfordMelvyn DouglasConrad VeidtA female blackmailer with a disfiguring facial scar meets a plastic surgeon who offers her the possibility of looking like a normal woman.Most of Crawford's movies are weird. This one's downright strange.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJames MasonShelley WintersSue LyonA middle-aged college professor becomes infatuated with a 14-year-old girl.How do you like your eggs?
- DirectorJennifer LynchStarsJulia OrmondBill PullmanPell JamesTwo FBI agents attempt to clarify the murders occurring in a desolate region. They approach the witnesses of the latest incident with the help of the local police. All of them hide something and all have wildly different stories to tell.A big favorite. Bill Pullman will go down as one of the strangest actors of all-time.
- DirectorWerner HerzogStarsKlaus KinskiRuy GuerraHelena RojoIn the 16th century, the ruthless and insane Don Lope de Aguirre leads a Spanish expedition in search of El Dorado.THIS guy f-ing nuts.
- DirectorLloyd BaconMichael CurtizStarsDorothy MackaillLewis StoneNatalie MoorheadLarry Fellowes of Fellowes Publishing wants Kate to write her next book about the 'Office Wife'. The personal secretary/stenographer spends more time with the busy executive and makes more decisions than his wife ever will. This creates a bond between the secretary and boss that the wife cannot hope to equal. What Larry doesn't know is that sometimes literature mirrors life.Infidelity will out. Bizarre pre-code anti-morality weirdness directed with dispatch by anti-morality specialist Lloyd Bacon.
- DirectorDaniel MannStarsSusan HaywardDean MartinWilfrid Hyde-WhitePolitical drama about a honest but naive gubernatorial candidate who is manipulated by his corrupt campaign manager and is forced to temporarily cede power to his wife, a woman of integrity despite her shameful past.Unbelievable. Dean Martin is governor (I don't know how it happened) after marrying good-time girl Susan Hayward, baggage and all, weeks before the election. If that's not enough then maybe a malevolent Wilfred Hyde-White pulling-the-strings on the befuddled Dino might do it. But then Ada grows some nuts. Unbelievable.
- DirectorSt. John Legh ClowesStarsJack La RueHugh McDermottLinden TraversJohn Blandish is worth $100 million. His heiress daughter is soon to be wed to Foster Harvey, who believes she's a cold, unfeeling woman, despite loving her. Her cold emotional state is in large part due to leading a restricted life. A low level thug named Johnny overhears their secret wedding night plans, and peddles the idea of robbing her of the $100,000 worth of diamond jewelry with which she will be adorned to two groups of his gangster acquaintances, who are in competition with each other. The robbery doesn't go quite according to plan, with Miss Blandish ultimately being kidnapped and held under the eye of Slim Grisson, the heir apparent as head of the violent Grisson gang, currently run by Ma Grisson. Kidnapping holds higher risk but possible greater reward as everyone figures they can get at least $1 million for her. Ma has no plans of letting her go, killing her after getting the money. But a surprise move by Slim, who has a secret past with Miss Blandish, turns the tables on the kidnapping and in turn Miss Blandish's emotional state. She ends up falling in love with him, and he with her. They know they can't live in either of their worlds, but even if they can escape together, will there be a future for them together always being on the run from both sides as well as the Grisson's competitors?The majority of movies on this list are decent films of generally high quality. This is not one. This train wreck was a revelation to me. I just saw it for the first time and it had me from the word go. There are too many questions to ask. Are you looking for something weird to watch? Your prayers were answered in 1948.
- DirectorVincente MinnelliStarsDeborah KerrJohn KerrLeif EricksonA new senior at a boy's prep school, finds himself harassed by the machismo culture of his classmates and the unfeelingly behavior by his father, only being treated with decency by his roommate and with affection by the coach's wife..oo

OO.....OO OO
Walk Like a Man
Talk Like a Man - DirectorAlberto LattuadaStarsGigi ProiettiIrene PapasTeresa Ann SavoyAn older man plans to marry a mentally-challenged, sex-crazed, adolescent girl.I'm speechless.
- DirectorVicente ArandaStarsSimón AndreuMaribel MartínAlexandra BastedoNewlywed Susan is haunted by visions of Mircalla Karnstein, a centuries-old bride who murdered her husband on their wedding night.Warning: Heck of a movie but it does contain a very objectionable scene of the actual shooting of a fox. The late sixties/early seventies penchant for pairing strong sexuality and actual cruelty to animals is the point at which I say artistic freedoms have gone to far and endangers the future of those very freedoms. Am I being naive? Maybe. Cabela sponsors dozens of "killing" shows that are shot into millions of homes everyday. I'm reminded of Vernacchio's play in Satyricon.
- DirectorTinto BrassStarsHelmut BergerIngrid ThulinTeresa Ann SavoyKitty runs a brothel in Nazi Germany where the soldiers come to "relax". Recording devices have been installed in each room by a power-hungry army official, who plans to use the information to blackmail Hitler and gain power himself.Just plain twisted. Lots of tits.
- DirectorNick GutheStarsAlec BaldwinNikki ReedCarrie-Anne MossA rebellious girl hooks up with an escort agency, where her stepfather is a client.Sly, sexy and cynical.
- DirectorNikos KoundourosStarsEleni ProkopiouTakis EmmanuelKleopatra Rota200 BC. During a merciless drought, the brute nature of man and the delicate essence of woman become inextricably intertwined, as the omnipotence of the carnal instinct demands the total surrender of the flesh.Ah, the Greeks. I don't know what they like more, dull or weird? This has plenty of both.
- DirectorCatherine HardwickeStarsEvan Rachel WoodHolly HunterNikki ReedA thirteen-year-old girl's relationship with her mother is put to the test as she discovers drugs, sex, and petty crime in the company of her cool but troubled best friend.It's no wonder Patty (Anna) Duke had a nervous breakdown. This is what normal thirteen year-olds do.
