What is the BEST offbeat film of all time?

Aww, I'd forgotten about him. Poor little feller.

Brazil, and Baron Van Munchausen were definitely offbeat.

Two choice for me would be Time Bandits and Remo Williams as far as ones I've enjoyed.

Two choices for ones I haven't enjoyed would be Blue Velvet and Repo Man.

I loved Remo Williams!

Oh man, some good ones here. Rat Race, Time Bandits, Remo Williams, 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag...All good movies.

I've always liked "Better Off Dead", and that's the ultimate in offbeat movies.

I just thought of another, "After Dark".

See, I loved "Rat Race", but I wouldn't consider it "offbeat"...:shrug

Being John Malkovich...now that's offbeat, and I didn't like it at all...:barf

Would "Moulin Rouge" be considered offbeat? :shrug

I didn't like Being John Malkovich, either.

Remo Williams was mildly enjoyable, but I'd read so many of the books that I couldn't help but be disappointed by what I saw on-screen. I'm sure if I had not read any of the books, I would have been more pleased by the movie.

ah, see...this is why reading is a bad thing ;)


**No, the substitute did not just say that!**

Actually, I wouldn't necessarily promote reading the Remo Williams series. Lots of carnage and sex and swearing and stuff. Not great literature, but perfect for a hormonally-supercharged teen like I was when I read those books. :laugh

So, the only thing that's changed is that you're not a teen, Paulie? :lol

I watched Moulin Rouge the other day...Well, about half of it, until my wife made me turn it. I actually thought it wasn't half bad. Nothing I'd go see in a theater, but I applaud the bold style. Except that I had to listen to a couple of terrible versions of "Your Song" :)
