I think the title was "2001: A Space Oddessy (?)" by Kubrick.

AFI came out w "100 Best Movies of the Century" in 1999 and i wanted to watch them all. After i sat through that movie, w no dialogue or cohesion, i threw that list out the window!

My brother thought the same thing. He stopped watching after about 40/50 minutes in.

Another that I just thought of is Quest for Fire and Fantasia. Fantasia is almost an acid trip without the acid and Quest for Fire is grunts and weird broken language for nearly two hours.

Even without having seen it - no. For instance, I believe that Freaks still has a plot.

In contrast, for instance, isn't there a movie, maybe by Andy Warhol, that's just hours of watching someone sleep? That would seem weirder to me. Or even Peter Greenaway's movies, like The Falls or Baby of Macon.

"2001" works only if you have read the book first and view it as a visual accompaniment. The only problem with that is you end up explaining the film to others instead of sitting back and enjoying.

Munchhausen (1943), filmed in Nazi Germany during World War Two. Not propaganda, but plenty weird!

How about the film My Dinner With Andre? Because the entire film consisted of just a conversation. I still maintain that the strangest film of all is Browning's Freaks. So My Dinner With Andre is not strange but just unusual.

Someone said El Topo...can't believe I forgot that. Good call!

I also forgot Roman Polanski's THE TENNANT. If you want to see a strange, strange....STRANGE movie, that is the one. I liked it for its mystery, but it is very polarizing.
