Every now and then I see a movie that leaves me saying, "What the hell was that all about??!!"

I saw just such a one over the weekend, 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her by Jean-Luc Godard. It gets rave reviews because it's French and Godard is supposedly a genius. But if you can explain it to me, you're more of a genius than he is.

What are your most baffling movies?

I remember when the credits rolled at the end of Mullholland Dr. I thought I don't know what the hell just happened, but I liked it.

How did you like it? I am not sure what even happened to decide if I like it or not

Lost Highway. Looks like most of David Lynch's movies qualify

Not to mention Eraserhead.

What is all the hype surrounding Eraserhead? I've always meant to check it out whenever I've seen it on a movie channel but have never bothered.

And I always think it is Tim Robbins on the cover everytime I see it.

That's what most reviewers said For what it's worth, I liked Mulholland Drive too.

Possibly one of the creepiest movies ever made. It's genius.

Very little in the way of gore but it's one of the most unsettling movies ever

Mulholland Drive is the first one that came to mind also- I like most of Lynch's work too.

Yeah, was not a fan of A Clockwork Orange. Very disturbing.

Well, as long as we're picking on Lynch, I nominate Inland Empire as another baffling exercise in cinematography.
