2,800+ Weird, Bizarre, Strange, Extreme, Odd, Atrocious, Random, Outrageous, Trippy, WTF, Extraordinary, Silly, Crazy, Intense, Unusual, Wild, Surreal, Disturbing, Fantastic, Audacious, Incredible, Amazing, Freaky, Awesome, Cult-Classic, Must-See Movies!
This is my evolving list of wild "WTF?!" movies I've seen. I couldn't decide upon a line to draw between the more extreme movies and the "regular" ones so I let the list grow as one giant list of the best (and best of the worst) movies.
I made this so I could remember most the films I've seen and I was always stumped when asked for a recommendation. Here you go, future me and everyone else.
I haven't ranked them from best to worst but I have placed many of my favorites near the top. I also try to group similar movies together when I have the time. If one gets shifted far down onto the list or even near the end, it's not because I suddenly disliked it. Organizing a list this huge on IMDb is time consuming.
I'm a bit conflicted on adding short films. Sometimes I might add them if they are noteworthy.
Please comment with your questions and/or suggestions of movies which you feel should be here. When I get around to watching them I'll be sure to add them. ;)
