The Man from the Earth (2007). Just watch it without checking any relative info or its trailer first ;]

 

[Beelzebub]

Beyond the Black Rainbow

Pretty weird movie, I still need to watch it again to really figure out what the fuck was going on, but the ending is definitely something you'd never expect.

 

[Teddy KGB]

A lot of my favorite movies in general have already been listed here. Donnie Darko is also worth a look.

Edit - The Game is great too.

Were these the French movies by chance?

Thanks a ton guys! Man I have my work cut out for me! There are SO MANY awesome flicks in here I have seen too. Loved Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. 2001 a Space Odyssey is one of the greatest films of all time. Videodrome was fantastic as well (had the weirdest dreams that night). The Game is one I suggest to everyone (it makes you mad you can watch it again without knowing the plot). The Prestige was amazing as well. Such a great movie. Memento and Inception also are some of my favorites. So far I am going to start with A Field in England, Pi, and Solaris and just keep working my way through.

A couple random ones I really enjoyed that I stumbled upon

Triange (2009)
13 Sins (2014-currently on Netflix)
Exam (2009-currently on Netflix)

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas is probably one of my all time favorite movies & books.

Abso-fucking-lutly. Can't get enough of that movie.

I recommend Jacobs Ladder and maybe Requiem for a Dream.

Then one of the weirdest movies I've seen is Enter The Void.

My friend put this on one night (Netflix, not sure if its still up) and his punk ass went to sleep leaving me to watch this fucked up movie throughout the night by myself. Its not scary per se. Its just really weird.

 

[wataru330]

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

The Spanish Prisoner

Serpent & the Rainbow

Enter the Void is a pure Gaspar Noë film. Part of the New French Extremism that came out in 2009, this one was more of a narrative film as opposed to his other ones (Irreversible, The Butcher, etc). They focus on sex, grime, violence, and the seediest scenes of the Japanese sex trade.

Enter the Void is a different take on the whole "what happens to the soul after dying" bit. It is very trippy (especially the last scene), but of all his films, I enjoyed it.

The only film that I would tell people to stay away from in this genre is Romance/Romance X. It's a shitty film, shitty plot, with the only saving grace of the German band Das Ich contributing a song for the soundtrack.

My real picks:

The Killing Room

Jacobs Ladder

Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway

Crash

Revolver

Beyond the Black Rainbow

I saw the movie and sought out discussions with the director about the themes. While reading up on the hodge podge of different elements incorporated into it I ran into a good site that has a pretty interesting take on it. Give it a look.

[2D_mastur]

Fantastic Planet (very strange cartoon movie)

The Last Temptation of Christ ( kinda like a Marvel "What if... Jesus didn't die on the cross").

The Man from the Earth (2007). Just watch it without checking any relative info or its trailer first ;]

Haha, I actually have a funny story with this movie. I was looking at imdb to help me pick a movie that night (I tend to check the genre, length and review score before I decide) and when I did, I somehow ended up putting this movie's bluray disc by mistake and started watching.

By the time I realized it was the wrong movie, I was already hooked by the story.

So basically, I watched it without any prior knowledge of it, as you said

 

[NeoSneth]

This is a hidden one that is just fantastic.
Primer, 2004
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/

 

[Rot]

Shutter Island - certainly worth mentioning.

 

[Late]

The Idiots
Possession

 

[Castor Troy]

Came in to recommend Primer, Moon, The Prestige, and Pi, but they've been mentioned already.

 

[evil wasabi]

Not a fan of some of the movies listed. Pi was garbage. Save your time.

If you want to be creeped out, watch Tideland.

If you want to see a trippy but beautiful movie, watch the Fall.

there is also a tv series, currently on netflix, called Black Mirror, from 2011, which is a lot like Twilight Zone.

 

[theMot]

The planet of the apes films new and old.

Hehe, yep - that's when its effect truly takes place.

 

[norton9478]

Sucker Punch?

 

[norton9478]

But seriously (trying to pick movies that I don't remember seeing listed here:
Waking Life
Scanner Darkly
Eraserhead

[Darklighterx]

Anything by Jodorosky is alright.
