HOUSE (1977)
A serious candidate for the most insane movie I’ve ever seen, involving seven Japanese schoolgirls who get um, eaten by furniture? And other stuff. Also there’s an evil (but very fluffy) telekinetic cat.
DAS CABINET DES DR.CALIGARI (1920)
This was one of the earliest horror movies and depicted a world like the dream of an insane person.
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984)
The most surreal and highbrow of slasher movies, it jumpstarted a major studio and gave the world Johnny Depp exploding into a fountain of blood.
THE HAUNTING (1963)
Horrorfest ’21 begins with this classic haunted house story that steadfastly refuses to show us any ghosts or really tell us what’s going on.
THE EARRINGS OF MADAME DE… (1953)
A story of the dynamics between the sexes in Belle Epoque France, highlighted by the spectacular visuals of director Max Ophuls.
MY FAIR LADY (1964)
Its reputation is as the most intellectual of musicals, lacking big musical production numbers in favor of lines like “The Rain in Spain is Mostly on the Plain.”
THE DUELLISTS (1977)
The first film from director Ridley Scott was also about some very American actors fighting duels while dressed up as historical French guys.
SANKOFA (1993)
A movie about the way people live under slavery, about Africans connecting to their roots, and also maybe time travel?
ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA (1984)
A nearly four-hour period gangster movie that represented the culmination of director Sergio Leone’s career. It is also a super weird movie.
