The 50 Weirdest Movies Ever Made
As a matter of fact, I’d only heard of two of them: Boxing Helena because it came out while I was in college and I remember seeing the ad for it in the Milwaukee Journal at about the same time I saw Sands in Warlock late at night on cable. And I’d heard of Zardoz because Sean Connery.
Most of the items on the list are brutal-looking slasher/horror bits from the 1970s directed by Europeans, it looks like. The sort of films I never thought were worthwhile.
So I guess I don’t like artistic weird movies. My guilty pleasures tend to run to dumb movies. For instance, I’ve seen 9 1/2 Ninjas! more than 9 1/2 times. And I’m adding Dead Men Don’t Die to my watching list.
So take my anti-film snobbery for what it is.
Before I even looked at that list, I guessed I’d probably seen six of them.
Five, as it turns out. (And Boxing Helena is creepy, and not fun creepy, either.)
I’ve seen only one: Zardoz. Watching it was not a good use of my time.
But….Sean Connery.
