Let’s talk weird movies!

the ‘movie’ you are referring to is lars von trier’s ‘the kingdom’, a 1994 Danish television series that did the rounds on cinema screens across the world. Trier made two series of this show – to the best of my knowledge, only series 1 was shown in cinemas (as a five hour movie!) and series 2 screened in 1997/98 in 5 or 6 1 hour installments on select tv screens (i watched it on a local multi cultural station). Personally speaking, I thought the weirdness was a little forced, obvious and second hand – but many would disagree. Trier has since directed Breaking the Waves, The Idiots and Dancer in the Dark (with Bjork).
I would like to add to your list my own titles of ‘weird’ films, but I tend to find most so called ‘straight’ films bent beyond belief.
