Only seen bits of it, but Zardoz is (stone) heads above everything else in terms of weirdness.
Videodrome was a weird movie.
Zardoz. Absolutely.
It's both batshit insane and agonizingly boring at the same. See the "exposition" narrator with his drawn-on mustache accuse you of being fictious, then watch the stone head vomit guns and declare "the penis is evil", then stop watching the movie.
"But don't give up hope. Everyone is cured sooner or later. In the end we shall shoot you." - O'Brien, 1984You sure we're not missing anything by stopping after 5 minutes?
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."Maybe Sean Connery in a wedding dress, but that's about it.
Looking for some stories?Well there is the whole goofy society of immortals responsible for the situation. I stopped at the old people slowdancing in the glasshouse. The fate of lawbreakers in that society.
And, of course, Sean Connery is Dorothy.
And to think, it was made by the Oscar-nominated director of the classic movie Deliverance.
Really, just watch this (spoiler-filled) review of Zardoz. It'll tell you everything you need to know about it.

Keep in mind, he also directed Exorcist II: The Heretic.
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."And to think that this guy was developing an actual Wizard of Oz movie...
Looking for some stories?Sucker Punch for me.
The New Age of Awesome is here! Not even the sky is the limit!eXinstenZ, if it counts.
Mulholland Drive, mostly for that last act, which, if you know the film's pre-production history, you can tell is pretty much tacked on to give closure and get it to feature length.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great
Oh yeah, the Cell. Remember that Horse scene?
I love animation, TV, movies, YOU NAME IT!
