Weird or strange films...

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970).

Just plain weird.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

One of the oddest yet watchable movies I've seen in years.
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born in the stench of eighteenth century Paris, develops a superior olfactory sense, which he uses to create the world's finest perfumes. His work, however, takes a dark turn as he tries to preserve scents in the search for the ultimate perfume.
The ultimate scent contains distilled girl. Weird and compelling movie.

Yowza!

The search for the ultimate perfume, that is riveting.

Magnolia was a great movie... up until the raining of the frogs... and then it just got weird.

I agree. It was Crash before Crash.

As for the frogs...

Quote:
it probably relates to the film's central themes of synchronicity, fate, and forgiveness.
More...

What was the meaning of the scene in "Magnolia" when frogs fell from the sky?

Hey, the premise sounds dull I know but the film was really expensively done with great sets, costuming, and camera work. It really caught you in the first few moments. You could almost smell the filthy streets of 18th Paris. The ending of this movie was crazy too, a mass orgy followed by the lead character's purposeful demise. Crazy show and you asked for weird!.
