Muriel's Wedding.

The best movie ever made is the animated Transformers movies from the mid-late 80s with Orson Welles as Unicron.

That was what I was thinking and hoping continues.

Maybe Tracy is making a mark, after some time.

Chatterbox or Rolling Vengeance? 

My outer limits of weird would be more like Repo Man and Mulholland Drive.

Better than the Incredibles?

Weirdest movies to me? (I'm sure I'm forgetting too many)

A Clockwork Orange

Pulp Fiction, Blue Velvet, Natural Born Killers (The Rodney Dangerfield scene is whacko)

2001: A Space Odyssey, No Country for Old Men, The Joker

Fargo, Beetlejuice, Eraserhead, Vanilla Sky, Brazil, Jacob's Ladder

No mention of Ben?  Gotta be the weirdest movie, especially if, like me, you heard the sweet little Michael Jackson theme song first  and probably thought “I bet this is a tender coming-of-age story about a lonely boy who learns the true magic of friendship as the key to his happiness.”

I suppose it is, in a way.  The boy, named Danny, does make his new friend, Ben.  But, if you didn’t already know, Ben is a rat. A real rat, as in a city-dwelling rodent.  And Ben is. not just any rat, but rather he’s king of the rats or emperor of the rats or something. (I admit a certain level of ignorance regarding rat nobility and titles.)  And Ben is also fairly evil, using his authority to order his army of rats to attack grocery stores and food trucks to feed the masses, along with the occasional bully that threatens Danny.  Ben is not nice. 

And does Danny use his friendship to influence Ben and his into more peaceful endeavors, creating a world where humans and rats live in harmony?  No.  Danny covers for him and takes care of him, clearly preferring the status quo.  Not even sure what the theme was supposed to be.

I’d feel bad about the spoilers, but if you haven’t seen this movie, you’ve had about 55 years to take it in…

If anyone has not seen Jacob's Ladder, I highly recommend it and won't spoil the ending.

Repo Man has a great soundtrack. Watched that a ton when I was in high school. Probably have on seen Mulholland Drive once. Don't really remember it.

Does he climb the ladder? Is that the ending?

Repo man was also a great wrestler.  Great feud with the big boss man in the early nineties

Has anyone actually watched The Room? I lived in LA when Wiseau was still running the billboard for it, but never bothered to go see it then. All I know of it know is the memes.

Horrifically comical. Such a sad mistake that  it makes Troll 2 look like Godfather 2
 

You know a movie is bad when they make a movie about making it, which happened for both The Room (The Disaster Artist) and Troll 2 (Best Worst Movie)…

Watch it, and tell me you dislike it.

I dare you.

It’s not a mockumentary.  It’s an actual documentary about how the movie got made, and it is wild…

Better than the Rankin/Bass animated version of The Return of The King that featured a troop of orcs singing “Where There’s A Whip, There’s A Way”?

I am familiar with the older original works of Weird Al Yankovic.

Points to the reindeer people for adding a musical number to a non-musical movie.  You’re trying to compete with singing orcs here…

By reindeer people, I was referring to the makers of the movie, since the animated Return of the King was made by the same people who made Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and several other stop motion holiday specials
