Most UNIQUE Movie You've Seen?

[MortSahlFan]

"The Swimmer" (1968)

[zomgmouse]

Sins of the Fleshapoids

Daisies

Shock Corridor

[Famous Mortimer]

Koyaanisqatsi.

Powaaqatsi and Baraka? Maybe you were making a joke? I'm sorry if I walked over it.

Nudes In Limbo

53 minutes of nude people doing exercise, fitness poses, that sort of thing. No background (hence the "limbo"), no dialogue, no plot, nothing. Feels like it was created to be projected onto the wall of a swinger's lair, and is of interest only to the hardest of the hardcore Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and Ted Prior completists. Available in its entirety, should you have watched every other video in existence, on a bunch of porn sites - although there's no full frontal shots and you'd struggle to be titilated by the occasional glimpse of a boob or backside.

Daisies

Shock Corridor

uniquely shite yes

[zomgmouse]

uniquely shite yes

i mean sure if that's what you think, but i don't, which is why i posted them

[Dusty Substance]

uniquely shite yes

Fuck off, Daisies is clearly a masterpiece.

[phantom_power]

I really enjoyed Daisies until I fell asleep (not the film's fault) but I am struggling to be bothered to finish it as I imagine there is no real resolution as it is just a series of mad vignettes.

The 60s European movie about these two ditzes? I tried as well.

[DrGreggles]

It seems to attempt to be all film genres simultaneously, which makes chunks of it totally baffling.
I love it though, it's just gloriously entertaining, but I'm aware that plenty disagree with me - and I can sort of understand why.

American Splendour.  I haven't seen another film with that format.

[JaDanketies]

maybe 28 Days Later a little bit, it's rare that there's a zombie / thriller movie that is like an actual layered movie and that my mum would rate. Also Godspeed You Black Emperor soundtrack

Tears of the Black Tiger . Part of me thinks it doesn't belong in this thread as so much of it is homage and pastiche but it's definitely greater than the sum of it's parts and felt so fresh and different when I first saw it.

[Blumf]

The American Astronaut (2001) - Don't think I've seen anything else like it in visuals and tone (except for other Cory McAbee productions)

Similarly, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), maybe a few John Waters films kinda occupy a nearby area, but nothing actually matches, and I doubt you could ever reproduce the social and cultural conditions that the show was created in and made it work so well.

Lake Michigan Monser is quite similar in terms of visuals, though the tone is more silly

[bgmnts]

Maybe Bronson or Thin Red Line.

[votestuffer]

And one that's great, a favorite of yours...

Impressed that no-one has yet mentioned Pink Flamingos.

[Ambient Sheep]

Do we mean distinctive?

Unusual?

Great call. Any of Waters' particularly early filmography would fit. Female Trouble, Desperate Living...

My point was, it wasn't unique if I can name two movies off the top of my head that are very similar to it, stylistically. Did you think I wasn't aware it existed, but was aware of the similarly-named follow-up from the same director?

[holyzombiejesus]

It's not really fair to diminish a film's uniqueness by citing things that were made several years later, is it?

[NoSleep]

Although a movie can either be unique or not, which subsequent movies like it will immediately negate. It may still be original or seminal but no longer unique.

[Shaky]

Nudes In Limbo

although there's no full frontal shots and you'd struggle to be titilated by the occasional glimpse of a boob or backside.

I'm willing to give it a go.

[Mobius]

Crank.

[Nobody Soup]

Holy motors, but I'm not that familiar with French cinema so who knows, maybe that's just par for the course. The ending with cars is particularly off beat.

The lead car is unique, except for the one behind it which is identical

[Brundle-Fly]

Forty years old this year and still one of the grimmest and unique cinema experiences of my life.
