I need to see it in its entirity. It was rather disturbing, which I liked, but I never caught in on HBO from the beginning, so i would always be lost. Have to rent it. Yeah, it's easily one of the most disturbing movies ever made. Bet you'll never listen to Huey Lewis & The News the same way again. Or Phil Collins. It is disturbing but the book is WAY more disturbing IMO....Very very graphic stuff ...especially considering it is wriiten in the first person perspective....

JohnnyBlaze Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 QUOTE (Necromancer @ Dec 3 2005, 11:20 PM)And i'm surprised that any of these movies have been mentioned yet: Resevoir Dogs Kill Bill (both volumes) From Dusk till Dawn Pulp Fiction I mean... Quentin personifies this type of movie, eh? I never thought of Tarantino as 'deep'. But his films are dark, weird, and highly entertaining imo. I didn't like the Kill Bills and Dusk til Dawn was just alright. A Clockwork Orange is the epitome of a Deep, Dark, Weird film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plodder Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Was just given Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" for a late birthday gift. This film fits all three of the above. Not too late to put it on your Xmas list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too late to put it on your Xmas list. this movie is definitely all three, but be warned, it's very disturbing too. most of the movies on my list fit deep, dark and weird but aren't as disturbing. don't get me wrong, i liked this movie, but tread carefully with peter greenaway films in general - the guy is a major freak.

Test4VitalSigns Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Yesterday I watched a movie I have to add to my personal list of deep, dark, weird films.... An Irish movie called Butcher Boy...directed by Neil Jordan (well known for directing The Crying Game and Interview With The Vampire) It's kind of a dark comedy; following the story of an Irish boy slowly going insane....

Kirsten Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I really, really, really loved the movie Crash. Granted, every time I watch it I can't stop bawling for a couple hours, but in the end it seems worth it. Dark, weird films... well, none exactly spring to mind that I've watched, but there are probably a couple. I don't know, um... the Virgin Suicides was rather dark, but it, to me, seemed more like dark comedy than anything. It could just be my sense of humor, though. The Hours! That has to be the WEIRDEST movie I have ever seen. I still don't quite understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush! Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The Shining. That movie is so... I can't even describe it. It's so good and yet weird. I don't know what I'm saying, it's a great movie. 'Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen "One Hour Photo" or "Donnie Darko," but that's a good list. Donnie Darko was a career making film for the director and Jake... umm... Gyllenhaal? Gylizanhull? Gigglestick? Yea, the Brokeback Mountain one... And One Hour Photo is such a good drama. I would consider it a cultish drama before a thriller. Robin Williams gives an amazing performance. Completely changed what I thought of him (which was hairy funny man, if you wanted to know...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a dark movie (not really), but I'd bet dollars to donuts you'd love it. Just don't do any research on it before you see it... just watch it.

endlesslymocking Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 We watched Run Lola Run in German class.... I haven't seen like any of the previously mentioned movies...but I'd gladly watch any.... But Run Lola Run is available in German with English subtitles, and tells the story of Lola, who's Boyfriend has an hour to come up with some massive amount of money. And the plot actually happens three times showing different outcomes....really cool....and theres a neat scene where Lola is running down a street and they show you the life of every person she meets in a series of "flash-forwards" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestand Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Ron, Lola, Run is a very good movie. I stol... I mean.... borrowed a book from the library I work at, entitled "1001 Movies you must see before you die" and that's in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
