Silent Hill is one of the strangest movies I've ever seen, as are almost all of the Japanese films I've seen.

While unusual, I would definitely recommend 'The unbearable lightness of being'. Heartwarming to think that love can have such an impact.

Sharknado 1-6. The premise of the first one was utterly ridiculous, but they just kept making them. And they kept getting weirder. I was flabbergasted to learn how many there were, I watched each of the trailers. I wish I could take that time in my life back.

Big Fish is a strange one - non linear story taking and all matches up towards the end.

I've got an unpopular opinion but yes, I didn't like IT. That movie was so extreme and I don't know why everyone likes it. Everything in it was somehow exceeding the normal level that it really seem so unrealistic and things that are not believable.

The other one was Smile. Apparently it was so confusing and didn't follow any plot and storyline. The end became more confusing and bizarre.

There was this movie Orphan. The first part was somehow interesting and had a unique plot. It was surprising. But, the second part was again so filled with unrealistic events. It was not interesting anymore.

The Blair Witch project? I thought that one was weird maybe because it was filmed with a hand camera. I dont like movies like that.. it annoys me and gives me a headache

Tusk is one of the most random movies. Fun in it's own way.

"Being John Malkovich" stands out as bizarre and surreal. The creative storytelling and exploration of identity make it a thought-provoking and eccentric cinematic experience.

Do not say. Speed Racer was a massive disappointment for me. Calling the movie "linear" is a compliment. :D

The Human Centipede is probably one of the most disturbing things I've watched. I don't usually watch weird or out-of-the-box movies or shows.

"The Lobster" was bizarre yet intriguing with its unique take on societal norms around relationships.

I think Argylle counts as bizarre because of how many plot twists there are. On a Youtube video the cast mentions 11 twists which seems about right. For me the movie would have been much better without the major twist about halfway into the movie. The problem is you like the movie doing one thing, then the twists keep changing what the movie is, invalidating what came before. The twists also make the movie longer and more confusing than it needed to be.
