7. Well, if you want WEIRD
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 05:04 PM by salvorhardin
and your videostore stocks anime, check to see if they have Furi Kuri (FLCL) on the shelves.

For the poster who said you can't get much wierder than Brazil, never underestimate the Japanese animation industry.

9. I Have Two Suggestions
Strange Brew - MacKenzie Brothers
Evil brewmeister Schmidt (Max Von Sydow) puts chemicals in the beer that makes people play hockey and fight. MacKenzie brothers (Bob and Doug) save the day.

Easy Money - Rodney Dangerfield
One of the funniest movies of all time.

19. Zentrope also known as Europa
German film came out in 1991. It takes place on a railway train shortly after WWII. It supposed to be a dramatic thriller--filled with angst and guilt over the war. However, my husband and I found it to be over the top with the voice over narration. We laughed quite a bit. I think we don't get German Angst.
