The Cell. By the end of it, I was thinking 'WTF?'

Oh yeah, the Cell. Remember that Horse scene?

I love animation, TV, movies, YOU NAME IT!

Only seen bits of it, but Zardoz is (stone) heads above everything else in terms of weirdness.

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.

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 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.

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.
