Jun 1 07 8:04 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I should have worn my glasses when I first read this thread. I missed the key word "Favorite". I must go on record stating that ERASERHEAD is not my favorite anything. Now, on to my favorite WTF flick. I choose MATILDA. I doubt anyone here ever heard of it let alone saw it. I worked in a theatre back in 1979 where it played to empty seats. Matlida is a kangaroo that boxes. It is played by a guy in one of the worst looking, mangy animal suits in cinema history. I remember everybody who worked there watched it every chance they had -- mesmerized by its astounding incompetence. Yon know that line in Butch Cassedy & the Sundance Kid where the posse keeps pursuing them and Newman & Redford keep asking each other "Who are those guys"? Well, we kept asking our selves throughout the movie "How badly did they need the money?" regarding stars Elliott Gould and Robert Mitchum. MATILDA is another film which seems to have fallen off the face of the earth (probably for the best), but gee whiz, I sure would like to see it again for old times sake. Cromwell

(His brother, musician/composer Danny Elfman plays Satan, performing a Cab Calloway style number down in Hell.) Herve' Villechaize and Joe Spinnell are also on hand, with something to offend nearly everyone.

Jun 2 07 12:13 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Boy, GONE WITH THE WIND sure gets a lot of hatin' lately! I actually still get a big kick out of it, as the prototype of the trashy soap opera (on a massive scale). Sure, it's kitsch -- but it's UBER-kitsch. Most of David Lynch's entire ouevre qualifies for "WTF?" status, and I dig quite a bit of it. LOST HIGHWAY, WILD AT HEART and MULHOLLAND DR. don't do much for me, but everything else is gold. I re-watched the TWIN PEAKS series finale last night (first time I'd seen it since it aired the first time) and was alternately chuckling and shaking my head at his sheer audacity.

Jun 3 07 1:01 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My original WTF movie had to be Cronenberg's "Videodrome." I saw this in 82 or 83 strictly on the recommendation of Fango and that great "guts spewing out of the TV" cover. I couldn't make heads or tails of the movie. It was also the first time I'd ever seen James Woods in anything, and I detested him. Still do. Just an oily, squirmy skinny little guy. Brrr! My next WTF movie is Rocky Horror Picture Show. Saw this at a midnight showing in 1978. The audience was really into it, throwing toilet paper in the air whenever an actor said "great scott!" But the movie itself was just a jumbled mess. I hated every minute of it except for the Time Warp sequence, which actually made me laugh when the glitsy tap dancer went too far in a twirl and landed in a lump on the staircase. Other than that, it's definitely a WTF movie for me--could never understand its appeal. The absolutely WORST WTF movie for me is John Waters "Pink Flamingos." I rented it two years ago, again because of all the great reviews I'd read. I could barely get through the entire thing. I saw no humor in any of it, just gross, gross, gross. With Divine going down on her anorexic "son," cheap sets, poor acting, and just so amateurishly done. But the worst scene involves a party near the end, where there's a naked guy giving a demonstration where either his ass*ole is "singing" or "talking," I can't remember which. This was done in loving close-ups, and none of the visuals were faked. Ugh! Rod

Jun 4 07 2:33 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hey Stwick! Cronenberg's "Crash" is a good choice. The first time I saw it, I rented it without a real working knowledge of the plot (basically on the strength of Cronenberg as the director). Whoa!! Another favorite "WTF" film of Cronenberg's (although the blame may reside more with William Burroughs) is his adaptation of "The Naked Lunch"...never, EVER watch this film when you're half asleep (unless you enjoy being "wigged out", of course) Hey Cap! As far as "Jacob's Ladder" goes, personally, I wouldn't qualify it as a "WTF" film, but it definitely has its share of disturbing moments (particularly the party scene, and the hospital gurney ride) Bryan

Jun 4 07 2:56 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Captain Company, Jacob's Ladder was a WTF for me! Then again, one man's WTF is another man's Citizen Kane. And, Stwick, Cheryle and I found Crash so unnerving that we turned it off after about 15 minutes. What a grim and bizarre concept. WTF was up with that?

Jun 5 07 10:54 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Captaincompany: Yeah, man, you got that right about "Naked Lunch"!!! I've never taken any drugs but this movie has to be one of the closest films to project what a real "trip" must be like. "Naked Lunch" is definately a TRUE WTF flick!!! Captainmarvel: I understand why you and Cheryle turned "Crash" off pretty quick, but if you ever get the chance, try and watch it all the way through; it'll blow your mind........You'll be muttering "WTF" throughout the entire flick........ :)

Jun 5 07 3:50 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hey Carl! Jean Rollin probably ranks second in all-time "WTF" directors (behind the aforementioned Jesus Franco), and for the most part on the negative end of the "WTF spectrum" (as opposed to Alejandro Jodorowsky and Takashi Miike who fall on the deliriously positive side of "WTF-dom") Bryan

Jun 5 07 8:10 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yeah, I'm no Rollin fan (aside from GRAPES OF DEATH, which I think is really solid). I kind of read the question wrong. He has some great looking ladies in his films, but they still manage to be an exercise in boredom.
