To put a name to another Greenaway film that is far more weird than The Cook etc: **Drowning by Numbers**. ---

I agree with everyone who suggested “Donnie Darko.” An EXCELLENT film! Also…“Persona” by Bergman is really interesting. So is “The Seventh Seal” (also Bergman). I’d also suggest “Delicatessen” and the “City of the Lost Children.” And “Barton Fink” by the Coen brothers. ---

…and also a German film called “The Princess and the Warrior” ---

**yosemitebabe** : **Buckaroo Banzai** and **Rustlers’ Rhapsody** Does it say something about my tastes that I’ve got both of these flicks on one tape, along with **Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins**? Lithgow chewed so much scenery in that flick he must have needed dental work by the time it wrapped. Kills me every time I see it. [sub]I feel so break up; I wanna go home![/sub] ---

Skeezix: Laugh while you can, Monkey boy! 😃 (Oh yes, Lithow is the jewel in the crown in that movie!) I’ll have to see Remo Williams too. Haven’t seen it yet. Obviously it’s a must-have! ---

I would say “Punch-Drunk Love” was unlike most love stories. “Adaptation” looks funky, by the same folk who brought you “Being John Malkovich”. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tapioca Dextrin \* > \*\*And if anyone wants some _really_ old school movies, then **Haxan** would be a good start (with the William Burroughs narration) \*\* I was SO psyched when I saw IFC was showing HAXAN-WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES. Overrated piece of excrement!!! Re William Burroughs- I’d actually watch NAKED LUNCH again before HAXAN best B&W weird Swedish film ever- (not that I know a lot of contenders)… THE SEVENTH SEAL!!! which does NOT star Demi Moore! Alas, The Seventh Seal did have an inferior remake Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seen-any-wierd-movies/141264.md?page=2)
