[ARCHIVED THREAD] - We've heard about your first movie, what was the strangest movie you saw when young?

Posted: 9/14/2004 9:54:42 AM EDT

For me, at age somewhere around 10-11, was "The Undertaker and His Pals".

IIRC, about a few guys that owned a resturant that were cannibals and preyed on young, nubile women. (Pssst...it had TITS AND ASS IN IT)

Another one, I think the name was "Dr. Who from Blood Island".

"Me and Him."

It's about a guy whose penis talks to him.

I mean really TALKS to him. With a voice and everything.

I was in college when I saw the Don Johnson movie "A Boy and His Dog." On TV, I saw "Lord Love-A-Duck" with Roddy McDowell. Boy/dog was odd; Love Duck still has be puzzled.

I can remember that one vaguely.

A wierd one for me was Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. When they opened the ark at the end and the Nazis all melted, that was freaky.

My mother took me to see "Tommy" when I was 10 (1975). I've been a Who fan ever since, but I can't get those baked beans out of my head.

Dr. Strangelove. I think I was 6 at the time when it came on the late late late movie.

Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

Plan Nine from Outer Space. Bela Lugosi died half way through filming the thing, they got some tall guy to walk around with his face behind a cape for the last half of the movie. Strange!

Places in the Heart.

Mom wanted to see it, and inexplicably brought me and my brother. (IMDB-fu) I would have been 11 years old.

Because my brother and I didn't know what the KKK was, we thought the guys running around with pointy hat masks on were funny at first. (Wasn't so funny when they were beating up the nice black guy who was helping the lady.)

I don't remember much else from the movie.

Shock Waves

AKA "Almost Human"

From IMDB:

Shock Waves (1977)
This horror movie concerns a shipwrecked yachting party. Rose (Brooke Adams) and her fellow yacht-mates, including the captain (John Carradine) run aground on an island when they hit an odd-looking freighter. Once beached, they meet up with an aging SS Commander (Peter Cushing) who had been in charge of a crew of zombies.

Actually had a few scary moments....but I was 8 or 9 when I first saw it.

And... "The Crying Game"

"Bacaccio 70" from 1962

Three stories in one starring Anita Eckberg and Sophia Lauren (I think) in various stages of undress. The wierd part was that you saw the scene through a certain man's eyes which, without warning, would jump to his fantasy vision. Very confusing to watch!!

We watched this strange movie on IFC or Sundance one night.

"Delicatessen" (Sp)

can't even describe it, gotta watch. and it was subtitled LOL

Anyone ever see it?

I dont know what the title was. But maybe someone can figure it out?

Late 70's/early 80's

Group of people go to a house/hotel. they start inexplicably dying off; one guy chokes to death on a chicken bone. A chick drowns in the pool. They threw some lesbian sex in there too. WTF was that movie?

Salem's Lot
JAWS

Oops sorry! I thought you said scariest!

Strangest would have been what I saw of Clockwork Orange.

Flesh Gordon, I was 14 or 15 and it was rated R and it earned that for sure.

Dunno what movie it was but i still remember being in the "What the hell???" state of mind...

Something about a bunch of hunters or campers and wolves tracking them down... supernatural stuff... strange cinematography, etc.

Anyone got info on this? Now i'm hittin my brain trying to figure it out

the abominable DR. PHIBES starring Vincent Price, that movie was creepy

he lived in a underground hide out with a mechanical orchestra, he reminded me of the Phantom of the Opera

Motel Hell (1980)

remember?

You had to have been there........
I was 10 and still knew it was weird

Cabaret. Killdozer on the boob tube was a little funky, too.

I've seen "Delicatessen". Truly strange.

Took a date to see "Motel Hell" at the drive-in. Last date I had with her.

Clockwork Orange

Posted: 9/14/2004 4:18:01 PM EDT

[#34]

I'm glad a few other folks here have seen "A Clockwork Orange" because aside from it's cutting edge violence, nudity, etc. for that time, it also has a very large political/social undertone.

This movie needs to be shown-Alex style with the clipped open eyelids-to "liberals" that think that controlling people, disarming them and limiting what they can have constitutes a "good" society.

Clockwork Orange was very strange, but had a good message (if you could bear to learn it).

Motel Hell was just good fun...

The all time weirdest (WEIRD is the question right?):

Andy Warhol's Frankenstein. I'm still mad at the guy that suggested we check it out. Warhol was a sick little twirp...

From a fan site:

This is the first of the two Franco-Italian productions that gave Dracula and Frankenstein sado-pornographic updatings under Andy Warhol’s name banner - the companion piece released a few months later is Andy Warhol’s Dracula (1973). (Although he made a number of underground fiolms of his own during the era, it appears that lending his name is the only connection Warhol ever had to the proceedings). It is interesting to see a version of the Frankenstein story that eschews villagers with flaming torches and wooden-armed inspectors and gives us an intelligent creature and even Marxist parallels to the backdrop; and, while none of this helps the film, it at least makes for an interesting interpretation. And for some reason it was released shot in 3-D. It is hard to know which way to take the film: it frequently ventures into the completely tasteless, there’s an unbelievably high and mostly pointless gore quotient - lengthy closeups of flesh being stitched together, a character getting his head severed with a pair of shears and the body staggering about pumping blood from the stump of the neck, the monster tearing its innards out in detaile closeup, Frankenstein having his hand chopped off in a gate by the monster who then impales him on a spear, where one small piece of flesh ludicrously hangs out of the 3-D screen like a piece of bacon; and, most sickeningly of all, where lab assistant Arno Juerging tears out the intestines of a maid with his teeth and she falls over a grille to let them all hang out in glorious 3-D. There are times when everybody’s tongue is clearly sewn into their cheek - like the classic scene where Udo Kier cuts open the female’s rib-cage and climbs on top to hump away, afterwards waving the gall-bladder in Juerging’s face: “To know life, you have to fuck death in the gall-bladder.” Kier’s performance really defies credulity - he’s somewhere between the comic caricature of a German officer and silent movie madman - all eye-rolling and guttural spat-out lines. Make what you will of this film.

Absolutely no contest. John Carpenter's Dark Star.

Posted: 9/14/2004 7:56:26 PM EDT

[#38]

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978)

"Altered States" (1980)

It's a tie.

I don't remember the name, but when I was about five some religious nutjobs showed a bunch of us kids a "free movie with popcorn". At the end a guy has to get his head cut off because he wouldn't get the number of the beast tattooed on him.
Who the FUCK shows a guy getting guillotined(sp) to five year olds.
Pretty much decided right then that shit wasn't for me.

What was the name of that damn movie that started with the guy submerged in a tank of water causing him to have hallucinations and apocolyptic visions and shit........ Damn that movie screwed me up for awhile.

Brigadoon - I was about 5 or 6 and frankly a musical about a mythical Scottish Village that shows up every hundred years still doesn't make a lot of sense.

Remember the question was STRANGEST and YOUNG.
