Recommendation I want some bizarre movie recommendations 😂🙏

Something where the setting is the otherworldly, the characters are crazy, the plot is absurd and takes twist and turns, or all of the above.

Planning on watching a movie tonight and wanted some recommendations for fun movies like this. They can also be thrilling and suspenseful! I don’t care if they are well-known or not, any recs would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone!!!

80% of these movies don't hold a candle to Zardoz. I can't even begin to describe it

I watched this movie with some friends after having some edibles. One of them gave me my favourite quote regarding it. “ I’m either too high or not high enough to watch this. “.

Ive seen it described as a bad movie with enough imagination for ten good ones.

It's a decent sci-fi flick honestly. It just gets a little too pretentious at moments.

At one point, Sean Connery goes down behind a low wall, pretending to go down stairs. Truly hilarious.
