Okay… Gonna give you a breakdown of my favourite weird movies.
Amélie: A French award-winning film about a girl who lives in Paris and gets involved with everyone around her, trying to change their lives as the anonymous heroine. She also falls in love. A very fantastic, magical experience. In fact, I wanna watch it again. =P
Kill Bill: I’m pretty sure everyone knows about this one. It’s Quentin Tarantino. Katana-wielding brides and anime sequences in the movie. Need I say more?
The Sky Crawlers: It’s a Japanese anime existentialist movie. I don’t wanna ruin the plot for you, but let me just say how the movie proceeds. It’s very slow and there is so much focus on the environment rather than the people. The thing about this movie is that it employs the use of natural sounds rather than music, and the scenery and the characters’ environments are drawn to an extremely large scale, making the characters’ themselves a small part of the screen. It’s set in a future. But a very weird one.
Oh, and you’ll need to watch to the end to finally understand what the heck’s going on.
Lastly, we have Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea: Another Japanese anime film by the award-winning Hayao Miyazaki. It’s an extremely simple story which can bring out the inner child in you, with many elements of fantasy in the modern world. And in fact, you may end up wanting for something more complex, but while watching it, you’ll be blown away by the animation and the music.
Trivia: In case you didn’t know this already, this movie was totally hand-drawn using water-colours. Thus making it even more worthwhile to watch, if only just to see how they used this medium so well.
