Recommend an unusual movie please

Watched Lobster last night. Most unusual.
Get past the first scene and have a gander.
In a dystopian society, single people must find a mate within 45 days or be transformed into an animal of their choice.

I donā€™t watch these ā€œweirder than lifeā€ movies. I prefer unusual in that it pertains to emotions and feelings.
To each his ownā€¦ :grinning:

@Bretrick Do you speak any languages other than English?

No, I can watch subtitled movies.

Then seek out any quoting Mondo Cane (aka dog world) from 1962. Gualtiero Jacopetti has a way of shocking which is never forgotten.

Thank you. I will have a look around.

Watched this yesterday on Netflix, described as ā€˜goofyā€™:

More of a rockumentary than unusual, but definitely fun:

and pretty much anything by the Coen Brothers.

I saw this some years agoā€¦

Quite wacky at times, certainly unusual in my book, terrific storyline loosely based on Homerā€™s Odyssey I believe and cracking soundtrack.

Must add it to the DVD collection :+1:

Totally agree @Chilliboot, a reaaallly greeeaaaat movie! Iā€™ve seen it twice, love the music too. The Coen brothers make unusual but definitely memorable films, worthy of being watched! :+1:
Fargo, another one. :smile:

Yep, I do like to indulge in a little bluegrass from time to time. I might even ask Alexa to indulge me this evening :+1:

Iā€™m still a bit skeptical about these hi-tech ā€œinvadersā€ :smile:, but I felt like this about smartphones a few years back, so Iā€™ll probably succumb in the end. :smiley:

If you enjoyed Fargo and *Oh Brother, Where Art Thou * then Saving Arizona and The Big Lebowski would be the next of the Coen brothersā€™ movies I would recommend.

I cried in places. He seemed real. Ending was sad too, made me think a bit.

Gosh!
Iā€™d forgotten all about that film. Yes it was very moving in places. I watched it with my late wife years ago, I think we must have hired it from Blockbuster on VHS.

No Way Out (1987) from Kevin Costner is worth watching IMO.

Believe it or not, Franceā€™s best selling film is Bienvenue Chez les Chā€™tis. Great film. Les Chā€™tis is slang for those who live in the unreconstructed north of France. Think Yorkshire with more sun - but as much bad teeth.

Iā€™ll look for this, I love French films. Try ā€œThe New Girlfriend ā€œ.
