Movies like absolutely NO other in the world???

[EdibleCannibalX]

The Piano-A truly awe-inspiring experience. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Definitely in my top 5.

Mulholland Drive- To be honest, I didn't like it as much at first, but I liked started to like it more and more as I thought about it, like some kind of benevolent tumor.

Requiem For A Dream-A horrifying experience that you will most likely never experience again. I couldn't blink.

The Nightmare Before Christmas-Do I really NEED to explain?

Pulp Fiction-The ultimate in CoOoOoOL cinema!!! Not likely to be matched ever again.

City Of Lost Children-An truly unique movie from France. Bizarre.

12 Monkeys-A bizarro Terry Gilliam movie. 'Nuff said.


Opinions????

Being John Malkovich was the first thing that popped into my head.

Brazil-Amazing! Humor and sci-fi and social statement all in one big mind trip

DeadAlive-Who has ever seen a movie like this before?

Meet the Feebles-Jim Henson is turning over in his grave

Toxic Avenger-A super hero from New Jersey? Get out of town!

Magnolia-A puzzle that is so interwoven that with every viewing something new pops up.

Clockwork Orange-Bizzare and surreal never matched again

I completely agree, BCV. :)

Also, I must say American Beauty. Never before had a film touched me quite like this.

[Annie Hall]

Magnolia.
American Beauty.
Moulin Rouge.
......Stuart Saves his Family!

[BadCoverVersion]

I'm not actually a HUGE fan of Memento...but its definitely unique!

Moulin Rouge...I've got to agree with!

[notchreturns]

Apocalypse Now and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas were the first to come to mind. Being John Malcovich, too...

[malcolm1980]

Being John Malkovich (Spike Jonze)
Juliet of the Spirits (Federico Fellini)

Oooh I forgot Moulin Rouge. Ironic considering I was singing a song from it at the time. (Elephant Love Medley. *sigh*)

[EdibleCannibalX]

AKIRA
Lost Highway
Being John Malkovich
A Clockwork Orange

[Gregorious8]

Six String Samurai

[batfreak]

American Psycho and Fight Club are pretty unique.

[Goosey]

2001: A Space Odyssey

One of the most important films of all time, there is absolutely nothing like it.

[electriclite]

The Big Lebowski's a big mind trip. It definitely gets a big "WTF?" after watching it.

[JonPulliam]

Series 7 : The Contenders
and
Jackass

Yeah I do think Jackass is unlike any other movie... if it is a movie.

[freakandgeek]

moulin rouge, magnolia and even though the movie scares me, nightmare before christmas is original.....and maybe someday i'll actually be able to watch it:eek:

[miguel_montes]

The Lord Of The Rings series !!!!!!!!!!

[daredevil0214]

the first thing id say would be...

requiem for a dream...

second...

punch-drunk love...

the rest...
american beauty, magnolia, boogie nights, being john malkovich, and moulin rouge

Totally agree... the concept is so weird you just have to watch it and see what the hell it's about.

Memento is definitely another one... One of the few movies that actually shocked me with all its twists...

[mr_gamecube]

The Ring!!!!!!(2002)

[POLYDISTORTION]

fargo was a true story...so reality can be shocking as any fiction story.

That would be right if it wasn't a remake.

[Buck Turgidson]

Watching it again tonight, I realized just how bizarre, unique and really cool Earth Girls Are Easy is.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai is pretty damned unique. Try explaining it to someone and see how they look at you... :rolleyes:

Sorry, but FARGO was not a true story. Just like the Blair Witch wasn't a true story and Texas Chainsaw Massacre wasn't a true story. If you watch till the end of the credits there is a disclaimer stating that it is fictious.

PI is a freaking mind trip and a half. Definately original.

Bad Taste is really out there.

THE GOONIES!! honestly what other movies are like this one?

[Scarface98.9]

Anything by Spike Jonze (and this includes Jackass and 3 Kings) and Charlie Kaufman.

Memento

Dark City

The Usual Suspects

Anything by Stanley Kubrick

You'd think that but infact the Coens admitted on several occassions that they made it all up.

Before they started filming William H Macy asked the Coens if he could see the original case file to study the crime. The Coens told him not to bother. Macy said he'd like to look at it all the same. THe Coens told him it wasn't necessary. Macy insisted that he see the film for purposes of character when the Coens told him that it was all a figment of their unusally odd imaginations.

Citizen Kane

[Cosimo]

Eraserhead
Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas

Has anyone seen a Hong Kong film called Fallen Angels?

[the movie guy]

That one with the monkeys riding Greyhound dogs... :eek:

I hear The Dark Backward is pretty fuckin' unique too...

[Jasonite]

I'd say Kubrick was the king of making unique films..not only were they unique from the mainstream, but they were totally different FROM EACH OTHER.

Definitely true. Those criteria also apply to Terry Gilliam's films.
