@Bloodfarts: Visitor Q wins by a mile in my book. I'm astounded at the marvels/horrors that Takashi Miike is willing to blend together in his films. You can see the humor in it, but in the end you're still watching a guy commit necrophilia after the corpse has shit everywhere. Also the first time I can say I've seen convincing (real?) milking on screen.
Alabama's Ghost would fit the off putting thread title of "most weirdest".
If Donnie Darko and The Shining are the "most weirdest" films you have seen then you haven't been introduced to Korean cinema, blaxploitaion, J-Horror, or even something as mainstream as Cronenberg.
Repo Man was kinda off beat. It has Martin Sheen's son ( Charlie Sheen's half brother?) in it and Arnold's little thief sidekick who was in the second Conan movie.
I forgot it's name, but the weirdest movie I have ever seen was a japanese one where some guys called Akira could write the names of people in a journal and those people would die. All I remember is that the main character's name was Light Yagami, and his main foe was Mister L .
You're thinking of Death Note, based on the popular manga series.
Here are some out-of-left-field weird movies:
I submit Ernest Goes to Jail. It might not as disturbing as Cronenberg, but it's pretty surreal. I guess all the Ernest movies could be considered weird on some scale, but in this one he GETS THE CHAIR. Also he has an evil twin.
Howard the Duck, Monkeybone, and the Whoopi Goldberg vehicle Theodore Rex are also up there.
Maybe I'm just thinking it's weird that these are actually movies...
Meet The Feebles, The Man Who Fell to Earth, and Man With The Screaming Brain. It's been awhile since I've seen Man With The Screaming Brain, so it might not seem as weird to me now.
