Requiem for a dream

[–] ProfessorScience@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just watched Neon Genesis Evangellion. WTF at the end of the series. Then saw there was a later movie with the "real" end. Which was also WTF.

[–] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Literally the first thing on my mind when I saw this thread! I needed some time to process what happened after seeing End of Evangelion.

Also "The Void" is another good one.

Primer. I needed to re-watch it at least 3 times to even begin understanding WTF was happening. Even the wiki sites that try to explain it are incomprehensible at first.

The Lobster was pretty out there.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion. It was a one weird rollercoaster ride. I still can't understand the movie too.

The Lighthouse. I still don't know what the hell happened.

EXistenZ - The final question "Are we still in the game?" really summarized the first watch experience. You have no clue what's going on anymore by that point. Same goes for Total Recall by the way - that movie also has you guessing what's real and what isn't throughout 90% of the runtime.

Beau is Afraid is absolutely mental. I had no idea what to expect when we went to see it, and I’m so thankful the cinema was empty so we could audibly talk about wtf was going on throughout. It’s definitely a movie I want people to watch but with the caveat that I’m not recommending it.

I remember once when I was a teenager turning on the TV at like 2 in the morning on a Saturday and being treated to Adult Swim's Sealab 2021 for the first time. Along with the rest of their line up around 1999-2003. It was fucking weird as shit. But hilarious.

Rubber. I went in knowing it was a WTF film, but had NO idea how far out it was. It made Sharknado make sense by comparison.

"Under The Skin" with Scarlet Johansson. It has easily the most low-key terrifying scene I've ever seen in a movie (the beach scene). And the whole film is the very definition of wtf.

[–] menturi@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Primer. This has to be one of my favorite WTF movies I have watched. Required multiple watches to understand.

The Room (2003) is without exaggeration the worst movie ever made. It's so bad that you can't even enjoy it ironically. Someone else made a much better movie (The Disaster Artist) about how The Room ever got made in the first place. Because that will be the first question on your mind after watching it.

Mulholland Drive.

Trust me on this...just put all technology away when you watch this and give it your 100% attention. One of the craziest movies I've ever seen.

Almost every episode of Raised By Wolves, especially the second season when things got REAL bonkers. Man, I miss that show.

Unicorn Wars… it’s a French/Spanish animation movie about a β€œcarebear” v unicorns war. It’s like full metal jacket, but much more brutal and bizarre….

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Mother. It's not that I didn't get the allegory, it was just weird. Also Antichrist, though to be fair, saying "wtf did I just watch" was the whole point of the movie.

The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard. I was expecting some cool music, and pinball. Maybe something like The Wall. Nope, What I got was Uncle Eddy and the Acid Queen.

Serbian film. I genuinely regret watching it and I think everyone involved in creating it should be investigated.

[–] joolez@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wish I had not read the plot.

[–] Xer0@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do yourself a favour and don't watch it. You will gain absolutely nothing from doing so. You'll just end up feeling disgusted and filled with regret. Truly a piece of shit movie all round.
