| The Holy Mountain (1973)
|
|
|
Not Rated
|
|
|
|
| Colour popping, vague plot, animal exploitation, cheesy dialogue, non-subtle editing transitions. It's all there... and whacky as can be. |

| Road rage at its most extreme, a sensorial treat. 'Seeing' the soundtrack is a such a nifty gimmick too... |

| Wonderful dystopia when the way people connect somehow makes sense. |

| Pretty pretty... weird set design. And wow, Fonda was a fox. |
| How to Draw A Bunny (2002)

| Even in death a sense of purpose, a spark of subversive behaviour. An amazing persona to be discovered. |

| A little over the top, which is why it is on my list. |
| The Straight Story (1999)

| Odd, but only in contrast to this filmmaker's total filmography |
| Fast, Cheap, & Out of Control (1997)

| Lost in La Mancha (2002)

|
| Terry Gilliam's unsuccessful odyssey to make Don Quixote. Truth is often stranger then fiction, and this documentary about the whole disaster that always seems to plague all Gilliam projects makes for fascinating viewing. Offbeat, unreal, and true. |
| Tron (1982)

|
| Visually stunning, the imagery was way ahead of it's time. Surprisingly up-to-date, if not a little slow at times. The incredible colours that were used includes this film into my list |
| The Office: First Series (2001)

| Quirky mockumentary. It initially seems banal, but scratch the surface... |
| The Office: Second Series (2001)

| More of the same, and just as good. Good decision to kill if after the 2nd series to keep it in the "unique league" a la Fawlty Towers. |
| Mau Mau Sex Sex (2000)

| Stylish (kinda) sleazy, needs more booty shots to push the point, but certainly candid oddness. |
| The Omega Man (1971)

|
| Somehow a happy jazz soundtrack works with zombies and mass death. Who would have guessed? |

| It went completely under the radar, very sublime mood and sense of tension. Highly underrated... |
