Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive. I still don't fully understand what the **** was going on in those movies. I'm at a loss.

"Songs From the Second Floor"
This was a movie I rented on DVD a while back. Almost every single shot in the entire movie was done with a completely stationary camera. And almost every shot was an obtuse symbolic gesture. Even after watching this with the directors comments I still kept saying ,"why?". Unlike other movies like Terry Gilliam's movie "Brazil" that, although superficially quite strange, did eventually make sense to me after a few views. However there are countless small production art-films that nobody gets to see that, I'm sure, are a lot stranger than even this film was. I've seen a few back when I lived in Chicago on an independent film showcase aired on PBS called Image Union.

The Holy Mountain (1973)
Directed by
Alejandro Jodorowsky
This movie bitchslapped me right out of the box. I thought I knew what film and cinema was about...I was wrong...and this was the film that showed me. It flowed differently...the sense of narration I normally got from regular movies I did not get from this one...
I found myself nervous in places I normally am not (images on film) and my feelings were all tied up in knots. My dreams were diferent that night...and how I write changed overnight. It was like nothing I had seen...his use of symbols and physical metaphors has never been equaled. Still messes with me when I watch it on VHS....so when Fando and Lis came out on DVD...I had to get it. By the same director...unbelievable.
Now i find much stuff done nowadays...strange...peculiar and bereft of passion and substance.
most stuff made here now has ...No bite...no bark...no subtext...and no point.
Trivia: This film was entirely financed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono after they arranged distribution for El Topo.

Liquid Sky. The same person portrays the male and female protagonist, which makes the sex scenes really mind blowing.

"Body Double."
It was one of earlier movies of Melanie Griffiths. What the hell she was doing, prancing around in a movie like that with no clothes on, I have no idea.
For that matter, what the hell this move was all about is another giant mystery to me as well.

Crash... no, not the recent one... the one from the 90s with James Spader and Holly Hunter.
Boxing Helena was frickin' weird too...
