I know a lot of people who are still stymied by the last 15 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

My strange one was a flick called Dark City.
I was browsing the new DVD section when I came across this Dirctors cut of this movie called "Dark City".

Looking at the cover, it had a pretty decent looking sci-fi look to it so I picked it up and read who was in it.
KIEFER SUTHERLAND
WILLIAM HURT
RUFUS SEWELL
JENNIFER CONNELLY
IAN RICHARDSON
Gosh I know most of those names and it's only $11.00 lets give it a go.
BTW I never Blind buy Movies or games but figured the GF is coming over tonight nothings on the tube and she is a Kiefer Sutherland so what the heck.
What a piece of Shit, weird ass movie.
I'll never blind buy anything again.

I also remember Linda Fiorentino as Roseanna Arquette's roommate. After Hours was one of those comedies where it took a while for the funny to catch up with you, but at some point it just hit you how hilarious and absurd the whole thing was.
Which, for some oddball reason, I have handy in my Photobucket account. Go fig.IMO, any movie made by Andriy Tarkovsky.
Yes Zardoz was one weird movie. Since it's made in the 70s I forgive the confusing (I was 11 when I saw it) plot; but not Sean Connery's red outfit.No one's mentioned Zardoz, yet?

Huh.. I think this movie is great, and far better than the Matrix which stole most of its ideas...

I remember seeing some weird movie a few years back on SciFi that mixed live action and CGI characters and was about some Egyptian god/alien possessing some guy so he could hook up with some blue chick, who lost her memory of the guy the alien possessed shortly after. It ended with the guy finding the girl on the Effiel Tower with her kid, which was a blue, shapshifting bird thing (I definitely know it was a bird for part of that scene) and reconnecting.
And the whole time, there was some weird pyramid floating over Central Park, which got quarantined for some reason (it left after the alien used to guy to knock up the blue chick). I looked it up on Wikipedia and found out it was made in France. I can'tremember the name, but I often wish it SciFi would play on the weekends to cut down on the SciFi Original suckfest.

Right, right, and John McCain wouldn't be a George W. repeat. And for the record, these are the first ever negative comments I've ever seen about Dark City. What a fantastic film.
Yeah? Count me as one of them. Saw this for the first time a few years ago with a bunch of other students. Movie ended, lights went up, and the sound of people asking for the Coles' Notes version was heard.
Here's one not yet mentioned: low-budget time-travel affair called Primer. There's an incredibly scary graph where somebody tried to sort out all the timelines involved.
Audience: "What just happened? Which version of the character is this? When am I?"
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman
yeah it was actually on some time last year. I saw part of it. I had no ideas wth I was watching.

With such memorable quotes as:
"What do you think Jesus ment when he said 'Get thee behind thee'?"
and
"You let her eat coal; again!"
To this day I still regret letting my friend choose the movie that day.

Well not Godzilla, but Japanese movies and shows don't always translate well. I recall something that was named Inframan in the USA that was like a ripoff of Ultraman (a slightly less odd Japanese SF staple). There were odd monsters, zombies, and lots of hopping around.
Edit: wow I actually found it on youtube. He has the deadliest elbows ever!

I've seen The Navigator and 2001. To this day I have no idea what the endings of either of them were really about.
One movie that really freaked me was Cube.
And somebody should have tried a lot harder to tell David Lynch that having rain at the end of Dune was a REALLY BAD IDEA (as was the pug dog).
