I thought Donnie Darko made perfect sense, guess that makes me
If anyones seen "Erazerhead" could they explain the plot..

 

Vanilla sky is probably one of my favorite films. 3 times of watching before i understood though.
Probably not many folk seen it but a film called Lost highway- BIG WTF.

 

Lost in Translation.

Got to the end, me and my misses looked at each other and went "Huh?"

 

Not watched yet, but we have it in the house. Any film by david lynch is always a "what the ****", thats what makes them so good He also made lost highway, which i mentioned earlier.

 

Hello

Vanilla Sky is also one of my favourite films. I really didn't get Lost In Translation, I thought it was boring.

That donnie darko website is the most irritating website in the world ever

 

Now that truly is a 'WTF' film !! Utter crap !

 

About a guy stuck in Japan when he'd rather be somewhere else and meets up with a girl who is also at a loose end.

 

Oh yea, did he do Naked Lunch too?.. another wtf?....I think it was Nelson in a Simpsons episode that said "there are two things wrong with the title of that film"

 

Wishmaster, I just wondered why i got it from the video shop

 

War of the worlds.

What a lot of garbage with no storyline or plot.

Tom cruise running away from aliens with his psycho daughter! What a pile of sh*t that film really is!

 

agree with a few mentioned revolver, blair witch, solaris. to name 3

 

Just fiinished watching the dvd. The end credits are actually rolling as I type!
WTF? Total rubbish. It started well and then just kept on going down hill. It was deep, deep underground by the end... What was it with the bare basement scene with the crazy guy taking up half the movie? Did they over-run on the special effects budget and decide to cut back massively on the plot budget???

I'm embarrassed to admit I spent money on that.

Leaves all other films trailing in the 'WTF?' wake - a David Lynch classic.

Saw it the first time completely w@nkered so wasn't surprised I didn't get it.
Saw it the second time stone-cold sober and it made less sense.
Saw it the third time half-cut and things didn't get any better.

If you've never heard of it or seen it, check out a summary here and if you get a chance to see it, don't bother.

Cheers

I heart Hucabees was the biggest WTF film ever

However.. Stunning films recently are

The Girl in the cafe... This is where Live8 and Mr Geldof got the clicking finger thing from, stunning film

Dear frankie... Stunning Brit film set in Scotland

Any one got any other greats??

Cheers Paul

 

I think that was David Cronenberg, not Lynch. Cronenberg also did Videodrome which has a great WTF-style nihilistic ending.

If you think the film the Naked Lunch was odd, try reading some of Burroughs' books for a proper head-f**king.

 

spongebob squarepants.

wtf was that all about???? 4yr old daughter seemed to enjoy it though

 

another vote for Lost In Translation......Critically acclaimed my ****.
But the worst film ever has to be Red Dawn, about a group of american kids holding up the whole Russian/Cuban armies. The only film I have walked out half way through!!

 

2001 A Space Oddysey...

I got lost about an hour before the end...

 

What was not to understand? A load of people trapped in an enormous booby trap..Sci-Fi. A good film I thought

 

Anyone not think Eyes wide shut is a bit bizzare??? I've seen it about 10 times and still dont get it

Gav..

 

OH - just thought of another

Twin Peaks - Fire walk with me

WTF big time

So, whats the list so far? This is only WTF films, not general crap films

 

David Lynch could well be the common thread here.

 

I enjoyed that!

Oceans 12 for me, thought it was a pile of metaphorical sh1te

 

Anyone watch Brazil last night on Sci-Fi?

WTF indeedy! SAS heating engineers?

Anything by David Lynch TBH - apart from Dune. After reading the book about a dozen times I've got a handle on about half of it

 

another vote for Vanilla Sky - what a pile of poo that was......

 

What about 12 monkeys?
thats a bit of wtf!
the deer hunter? Great film!!!!

But one of the wierdest has to be apocalypse now, another great film tho!!!!

 

I love the way films cause a reaction in different people, makes for interesting thread reading..!

WTF's for me include:

1. Donnie Darko - cool and fruity IMHO - 10/10 originality

2. The Think Red Line - surprised no one has mentioned that. Not bad with some profound lines, brill phtography - but an overall WTF. I mean some guy blew his *** off, and George Clooney was in it for 5 seconds - bizarre

3. Deer Hunter - not bad, well kind of pants until the roulette bit. Does that make me a shallow violence junkie!?!?

4. The Ring - WTF in a good way

5. LOTR Return of the King* - The last hour was painful

*Originally titled; Lord of The Rings: You *** will be dust after three hours in the cinema.

 

plot of erazerhead:


Is it a nightmare or an actual view of a post-apocalyptic world? Set in an industrial town in which giant machines are constantly working, spewing smoke, and making noise that is inescapable, Henry Spencer lives in a building that, like all the others, appears to be abandoned. The lights flicker on and off, he has bowls of water in his dresser drawers, and for his only diversion he watches and listens to the Lady in the Radiator sing about finding happiness in heaven. Henry has a girlfriend, Mary X, who has frequent spastic fits. Mary gives birth to Henry's child, a frightening looking mutant, which leads to the injection of all sorts of sexual imagery into the depressive and chaotic mix.

make any sense ?
