Funny/Weird/Short movies
-
OSS117
-
Army of Darkness (81m, dark fantasy comedy horror)
Actually the Sequel to Evil Dead II. Less splatter-y then Evil Dead II. Fun Fact, Peter Jackson stated this movie as one of the many inspirations for his "Lord of The Rings" Trilogy :-) -
From Dusk Till Dawn
Two Robbers on the run try to make their way to Mexico, by kidnapping a family on vacation. Also: Vampires. Directed by Robert Rodrigues, written by Quentin Tarantino. Its a good movie, really. -
True Romance. :+1:
Gangster movie RomCom written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott. -
Eraserhead
David Lynch. Need I say more. -
Shoot 'Em Up:+1:
Fun little Actionflick. Paper-thin story, which basically only exists to propel the movie from one wild action scene to the next.But the movie is pretty selfaware about this. -
The Raid
A Swat Team enters the lair of a drug kingping, but finds itself trapped, with no way to exit the building. One of the more gruelling action flicks from indonesia, but pretty good! -
Dredd:+1:
Basically "The Raid", but as an Adaption of "Judge Dredd".
Recommended
-
Ghost in the Shell ORIGINAL! :+1:
-
The Blood and Ice Cream trilogy, AKA Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy :+1: :+1: (The real good stuff)

-
Rubber :+1:
- An old tire comes to life in the midst of the desert and falls in love with a young woman. Upon discovering its telekinetic abilities, it goes on a killing spree. If you think, you know what to expect now, rest assured. You don't. Very Meta.
-
Palm Springs
- Basically "GroundHog Day", but with a few twists. Fun little movie.
-
12 Angry Men
- 12 Jurors are locked in a room and have to decided whether or not the Accused in an alleged murder case is guilty or not. Absolute master piece.

- For a few Dollars more
- The good, the bad and the Ugly
-

TimeTravel Extravaganza. School Buddies Bill and Ted travel through Time, to prepare for a History exam, that will not only save them from failing school, but will also unify humanity. Silly, but charming little movie starring a young Keanu Reeves as Ted.

Corpse Bride
