films that make you go wtf

major bill

just after watching a film on film 4 called night watch.

its a russian film about two differant paranormal forces in modren day moscow.

The film is basically a mix between the matrix, blade,highlander and lord of the rings.

watching it anyway(kinda good) and just kept thinking in me head wtf is going on the plot is messy and confusing and the end leaves you just wondering wtf just happened in the last two hours.

mad i say im sure some of you have seen had the makings story wise to be a huge hit but it let itself down trying to be too clever imo.!!!!

any more films youve come across like that

Revolver. It took me a while to gather any idea of what was going on, and when you do get it, you realise it wasn't worth the effort.

I thought Revolver was brillaint. I think I'm the only one though

Southland Tales really makes me dizzy when I watch it, but even though I don't fully understand what's going on, I really like it. I guess I'm just stupid or something.

vanillia sky, didnt get alot of it, but still found it strangely interesting.

There was a lot of things I liked about it too - Statham was good, Liotta was funny, it looked great, had a nice atmosphere to it, and the editing was... different.

Overall though, I just think it's too up its own arse.

Memento

l think they released a version on dvd where the film starts at the end and finishes at the beginning because it makes more sense

Mulholland Drive.

As soon as I seen that title I thought of "Paprika"

Mulholland Drive is a bit odd though but sure all David Lynch's films are pretty out there, take Eraserhead for example. Got it when I was 13 cause loved horror films and heard this was the best. Needless to say I stopped watching after 5 minutes cause I was clueless! Watched it a few years later and I certainly didn't get it but absolutely loved, the most out there, fcuked uped movie ever made!
French film Innocence was also pretty wtf, wasn't sure if I liked it, was close to mentioning the sinful term "emperor's new clothes" when describing it.

biko

Any David Lynch film.
The only one I've managed to watch fully was Mulholland Drive, only thanks to Naomi Watts.

It's not so much that it was confusing or anything, but the whole film was just so messed up in parts that at the end of it I had to say "WTF?"

It's a Drama/Comedy but to be honest I didn't see anything worth laughing at in the film

:eek: Should be shot...Memento's a fantastic film but it's for a select few of us who use our brains just kidding...

No country for Old men...sure I get the usual Cohen bull**** ..I mean artistry.. but I still went "WHAT THE Fúck" at it's ending....I felt cheated in a dirty way

ithe end leaves you just wondering wtf just happened in the last two hours.

Watched a bit of that myself last night - say about 20 minutes where he is given some pigs blood to drink or something and he just drinks it and walks away. Next thing he is on a train.

Had no idea what was going on bar some suggestion of vampires - only put it on cus of the film4 synopsis about it being the matrix crossed with LOTR.


Blue velvet is pretty much wtf - dennis hopper and the oxygen mask or whatever it was.

What about the doctor drugging his family to have sex with that boy? I found that hilarious! (sarcasm)

Lillylilly

The most suitable answer to this post is Garage. An Irish film with that bloke from D' Unbelievables in it. Pat Shortt I think! It is RIDICULOUS!!!!! And a waste of an hour and a half, if you ask me!!!

Mark Hamill

Transfomers 2. I think I said "what the f**k" once every two and half minutes watching that film, if someone had of tried to explain its storyline to me, before I saw it, I would have had them institutionalised for their own safety.

All of Todd Solondz films are like this. I actually found myself laughing at many parts of Happiness. And as soon as i did laugh, I questioned whether I should be laughing at something as truly fecked up as it. I guess that's part of the director's point, challenging you to laugh at some of the stuff he puts in his film. It's the blackest of black humour. It's not for everyone, that's for sure. It's really messed up stuff, no question about it.

I went WTF after watching Genova with Colin Firth. I watched the whole thing waiting for something to happen and by the end , I was like "WTF!!!!, that was it?!!?!?!!! , Fùcken pile of ****ê".

I thought the ending seemed tacked on

Martyrs and Audition probably.

Special mention to the disaster that was Spider-man 3.

Eirebear

Obvious mention goes to David Lynch, to be honest Mullholland Drive was a walk in the park in comparison to Inland Empire.
I was giggling like a schoolgirl by the end and i still dont know why...

Sunshine was a bit of a WTF? film because of the ending.

bnt

I thought Magnolia was in serious need of an editor. The ending had me going WTF in the sense of "I sat through 3 hours of melodrama for that?"

What, While it was odd viewing at points, there were some funny parts, but the end with the kid on the balcony, when he 'cums' into teh family with his news. I fell on the floor laughing at that. Brilliant. Like a two hour long build up to a wonderful punchline!

Never forget my first time seeing it! I had just bought it and texted my mate on Sunday to see if he wanted to watch a film. We were both pretty rough from the night before and I had Lucio Fulci's The Beyond (pretty hardcore gore film) and Mysterious Skin (which we thought was just a simple drama) and his quote to me was "Stick on Mysterious Skin, I'm not in the mood for anything to mental..."

...We couldn't have gotten it any more wrong!

Pretty much stayed silent with our mouths open, exchanged glances at each other, I took the DVD out and went home, it's not really spoken about to be honest

Although, one bit that made us laugh which we rewound again and again is the classic quote "F*** me in the ass with your hot teenage <insert naughty word here>"!

Rendition - interesting story, but i like the side stories more than the actual main character one:) Interesting, and at one point near the end you are like: "AAAAAA, so THAT what it was!"

Its a good movie tho, so in this case im talking "weird" the good way here!

Don't get me wrong, l liked it too.
l've only seen it once, but if it turns up on tv l'd watch it again

Simian!

Million Dollar Hotel! I was furious when i came out of that film. Have still to meet someone who liked it. I think it was only made because it was U2's idea and was marketed around that.

Also, as mentioned earlier, Transformer's 2 - I was in a daze after it.

More like seriously good film.

There's no wtf about requiem, its a pretty clear film, don't do meth, its additive and you'll end up either (SPOILER) losing an arm or grinding on a double ender with another meth addict all for some dollar dollar!!

BlitzKrieg

requim is over-rated.

Its really well made, but the plot is somewhat on the the same level of a drug PSA.

Morlar

+1 for Visitor Q. Japaneese people are weird.

I have to disagree with that one. It's about the stuff that goes on under people's noses in Suburbia, how apparent perfection can mask such deep desperation and sorrow. The parents thought they were protecting their daughters, but they were actually restricting their possibilities, to the point that they saw no future at all. If it helps people recognise when things are not right, and forestall similar tragedies in the future, that's a point right there.

Sometimes I enjoy having a WTF? reaction, actually. Robert Altman's films do that to me - M*A*S*H and Nashville are good examples. James Bond films too - don't over-analys, just hang on ...

The New World - what a heap of self indulgent shíte.

Hi Bill,

I watched it last night as well. When Night Watch came out on DVD I watched and had one of the biggest WTF moments ever. I had absolutely no idea what went on.
Before it came on last night I read the plot on Wikipedia to see if I could make sense of it, and as I watched it things seemed a little clearer. Not the best way to have to watch a movie! I'll do the same for Day Watch.

Regards,
Cash

Too many Japanese films to mention.

Saw 'Mysterious Skin' in the cinema on my own when it came out, was not what I was expecting. Was probably good I saw it before Brick, really altered my views on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's acting skills.

Oh... and 'Begotten'. No, never again.
