I've seen them all except Inland Empire. Good examples though, I'll give Inland Empire a try.

Andrzej Zulawski's Possession (1981)

I'll give it a shot, Thanks.

The Sinful Dwarf

Braindead (the 80's one, not the Peter Jackson one)

Begotten

I see two Braindeads, one made in 1990, and one in 2007. Thanks.

[The Burgomaster]

INLAND EMPIRE is mesmerizing . . . but plan to watch it 3 or 4 times before you even begin to understand it.

[Psycho Circus]

Darn, I meant the 1990 one. Forgot the year.

I'm still trying to understand it.

I think it's weird for weirdness sake.

[indianasmith]

In the Mouth of Madness
TITUS (a futuristic, sci-fi adaptation of Shakespeare's worst play ever, with Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange, it is beyond weird)

[Derf]

Forbidden Zone
12 Monkeys
Maybe Jacob's Ladder
Possibly The Dark Backward, though I don't personally care for that one too much.

[Psycho Circus]

Maybe Jacob's Ladder

Why didn't my noodle sponge think of that!?

I don't think Andrew has forgiven me for bringing The Dark Backward to his attention. But, hey, if you like that one, check out Motorama or Rubin & Ed. (Neither of those is on DVD.)

Judging by your suggested movies, I think you should naturally check out any movies directed by David Lynch, David Cronenberg, or Terry Gilliam. They are all off-kilter, and there are more hits than misses.

Sideways, I recommend you check out anything written by Philip K. Dick, especially his later period when he was in the midst of a full-fledged mental breakdown.

Movies though:

The Reflecting Skin - Another movie only available in the U.S. on VHS. Miserably disturbing film. I'd be glad to lend you my copy, as long as I get it back. (You can probably find it for cheap anyway.)

Pi hits the bill, but you've probably seen it.

Aguirre: The Wrath of God - Herzog and Kinski at their best.

Being There - The best political film ever made?

The Butcher Boy - Like Oliver Twist, except the hero does not escape any childhood trauma, but slowly becomes more and more disturbed. Told from his point of view!

Clean, Shaven - Probably the most accurate, visceral portrayal of schizophrenia I've ever seen. You will cringe.

Dead Man - Well, you might not like this, but it's one of my favorite movies.

Intacto - Spanish thriller that builds up to more than the sum of its parts.

Paprika - Or any other anime directed by Satoshi Kon. That guy is crazy, and able to communicate it in style.

Oldboy - Or any other movie by Chan-wook Park. Same as above.

The Ruling Class - A fairly demented take on class structure in '70s England. Really, pretty weird.

Save the Green Planet! - South Korea is quickly becoming one of my favorite film producers. This movie is demented.

The Signal - Probably my favorite low-budget (it doesn't show) horror film in recent years. Very good, and surprisingly funny.

Touching the Void - A mountaineering expedition gone wrong. Starts out bad and slowly gets worse. Really explores the outer edge of human suffering. (Really, the Bony M song is above and beyond your average level of torture.)

Yeah, I just flipped through my Netflix 5-star ratings to give you a sampler, but those seem like they would at least be up your alley.

Thanks Mofo, I have seen almost every Cronenberg and Lynch film, and a couple by Gilliam. The two Davids are dead-center on my radar screen, one of the reasons I was disappointed with "Twin Peaks". I've seen Clean, Shaven, at the suggestion of someone here (good suggestion BTW, suggested due to my interest in Cronenberg's 'spider', another favorite), and I have Agguire: Wrath of God, but haven't watched it yet, one of the few movies I have that I've not watched. I've not seen Pi, I'll check that out. Unfortunately, I have no access to nor way to watch VHS movies, I do thank you for the offer though.

especially his later period when he was in the midst of a full-fledged mental breakdown.

Wow, I've heard of a few making intense movies while going through a divorce (Cronenberg did, and I believe Lynch did also), but never by someone truly losing their mind. I'll check that out. Thanks for the help.
