I want funny and odd independant films that you walked away and said that was weird, but I loved it.

Mine are:

Buffallo 66
Crash or whatever it's called(People get off on crashes)
Blue Velvet
Spun
Exotica
Valley of the dolls

There is many others but I can't think of the titles.

'Til Human Voices Wake Us

I loved this movie. It's an Australian film that wasn't widely released here in the US, but so good.

How is the god's must be crazy even remotely interesting? It's just a lame documentary. I couldn't stand that thing and could only watch a few minutes at times. It's on tonight on IFC.

Fargo? I don't remember anything intersting or unusual about that movie if it was, I would have since the thing plays like almost every week on satellite.

The female actress for Fargo pulled an academy award for that performance. I think what made it interesting to me is that is was a true story.

The Gods must be Crazy was so stupid, and the cinematography so rank, that the movies were actually funny. Sarcastically funny.

You know I have to admit the God's must be crazy was entertaining because it had that one chick thatlikes to go topless in a lot of independant movies. Those parts were entertaining so It's alright, but definitely not what I'm talking about in this thread.

Err, no it wasn't. They just said it was a true story as part of the mythology. (ie: They lied)

Gosh, I feel really guilty. All these Aussie movies that every one likes that I haven't seen.

I saw 'Mad Max' but not 'Mad Max II - Road Warrior'.

Have you seen it? It is NOT a documentary.

It's a beautiful piece of low budget cinema.

Seriously. How many films got a cinema release where the ONE PERSON was the producer AND editor AND writer AND director AND actor ?

And it had such a simple story. Yet it was so successful.

I suspect a lot of independant film makers could learn from TGMBC.

(And is it just me, or does the style with the narrator sound just like 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' ?)

I forgot PI.

I actually thought of welcome to the dollhouse but felt that doesn't qualify really as a movie that I felt was just weird.
