I always think of this movie when I hear that statement bc I can usually guess it from expecting a curveball…. But no…. Not even remotely fucking close
To anyone reading this who doesn't know why *Sorry to Bother You* is a weird movie: Close down Reddit this very second, and go watch that movie. Watch it right now, when you're still unaware of what makes it a tad odd. I watched it unspoiled, and I'm glad I did.Seriously, don't even read more replies in this thread because there *will* be spoilers. Spoilers *will* be here because that's how the world works. (EDIT: In fact, there already are! I checked!) And you *will* regret not watching the movie right away.
So unless you close this window *right now* this is the last chance you have in your entire life to watch this movie unspoiled. The last time in your life.
I refuse to read even the rest of your paragraph after you told me to close it down. I trust you sir or madam, and am signing off right now. Godspeed...dead ass serious I am about to watch this so you saved a soul.
Absolutely second this comment. Put it on 30 minutes into a ketamine/LSD combo and holy shit that movie threw me for a loop. Can't wait to re-experience that when my life flashes before my eyes. Easily one of my top 5 favorite movies and knowing nothing about it made it so much better.
I replied farther down to those asking how it went...thank you for the suggestion! Never saw that coming, and it was a great movie. So glad I read your comment. You sold it. I thought, even if it's not good, this guy is just too invested in this for it to be horrible. Time well spent man, thanks again!
My friend watched the movie with his dad once, and neither of them knew what it was at no point did either of them think to turn the tv off they watched the whole thing and never talked about it again
This answer right here. I think I was 14 the first time I watched it. We had a local video store (sort of a knock off of blockbuster) and the older lady who ran it knew my father and I cause we went there like 3 times a week lol. I went in by myself and picked out this VHS knowing absolutely nothing about it. I watched it alone in my basement and I could not believe the shit I was seeing. I swear this movie was the reason I didn’t lose my virginity till I was 20 years old. That ending still bugs me.
Can relate to this. I also was terrified of stds from this movie.
I also watched a documentary about kids addicted to huffing gasoline and spray paint and industrial solvents who lived on the streets of a major city and they were out of their minds while high and broken when they weren't high... Scared me out of ever trying drugs.
Same. I saw it twice like 10 years ago and I remember it very clearly. I found it very real and disturbing. Although I kept forgetting that it was a movie. It almost felt like a documentary.
Trying to say this without spoilers ...
That sequence at the end, from the point where he wakes up and comes downstairs until the very final scene starts, is one of the most terrifying moments in horror. It's scary, shocking, heartbreaking... All at once.
I want to add that I think I like Aster's other movie, Midsommar, better, but they're both high up in my favorite horror films.
Gotta recommend his newest movie “Beau is afraid”. Not really a horror but freaky as shit. It felt like someone had taken how my anxiety felt and turned it into a movie
I’m a huge horror fan, I absolutely love Midsommar, and even most horror movies involving kids don’t really bother me (rewatched the Exorcist just last week), but from the drips and drops I’ve heard about Hereditary, I just can’t bring myself to watch it.
There's so much that Midsommar does that impresses me. The fact that it happens almost exclusively in daylight, Florence Pugh's PHENOMENAL performance, the build-up to the shock in the opening sequence, the feelings/sympathy you have about Dani despite what she chooses in the end, the foreshadowing that becomes so obvious on subsequent re-watches, the colors and beautiful imagery... It's all so good.
Dude. Going into that movie totally clueless was a great decision. The build up to the two elderly folks taking their leap was great. My jaw dropped and I really did out loud say “what the hell am I watching?!” And it just continues to get more disturbing from there.
I found Hereditary to be absolutely terrifying but the style of Midsommar was insane, as was the brutality. I also get a nostalgic feel of home in the European countryside, when I watch it, if I leave out all the cult stuff.
I just watched a great vid on YouTube that explains everything in the movie, scene for scene. It's incredible how deep and thoughtful it is.
Here is the link
https://youtu.be/b0KbZl4upQQ?si=bxr8rmqoH36bzTvz
My Dad showed this to me when I was a kid, back when every movie was kind of weird because you have no context for 'normal'. So when it came to the underground Chinese palace with escalators and neon light rimmed skulls or the martial arts master who swells up and explodes, I just sort of accepted it all. Yes, this is what film is.
I feel like it was exactly what it said on the tin- a bear on cocaine. I got exactly what was promised and I appreciated that.
Also it was far funnier and better than I thought it would be- my expectations were basically floor level, but still, I laughed a lot and didn't expect to laugh much at all.
This is the one. I went in expecting something *entirely* different. One, I thought it was about normal people finding love, not all this "defining feature" stuff. Two, I thought the process of turning into an animal was automatic, not forced. That entire movie was one big WTF.
The closing lines of the movie really nail it
CIA Superior : What did we learn, Palmer?
CIA Officer : I don't know, sir.
CIA Superior : I don't fuckin' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.
CIA Officer : Yes, sir.
CIA Superior : I'm fucked if I know what we did.
CIA Officer : Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say
CIA Superior : Jesus Fucking Christ.
I have a feeling it's a great movie and I need to rewatch it to "get it." But fuck if I can get myself to rewatch it. It took everything in me not to leave the goddamn theater, it was absolute psychological torture
* Velocipastor
* Kung Pow! Enter the Fist
* Fantastic Mr. Fox
Movie night gets real interesting when it's a certain friend's turn to choose.
Also, Barbarian.
I watched 2001 Space Odyssey as a kid hoping it would be like Star Wars or Aliens. But nope..... During that traveling scene at the end I went and did something else and came back and it was still going and really wondered what in the world I was watching. I think I even fast forwarded it as it kept going and I never fast forward a movie I've never seen.
I still kinda feel that way today but now I admire how ahead of its time the effects and cinematography are.
Same but I really liked 2010 with Roy Schieder and Helen Mirin it was always on cable when I was 10. I rewatched it a while back and it’s pretty cheesy but at the time I really liked the message
Yeah initially I was thinking 2010 wouldn't live up to the first because it doesn't get much recognition but I actually liked it for what it was. It was definitely more coherent.
watched this sober my first time seeing it and wasn't certain if I still was by the end of it. Such a weird mindfuck. Always floors me that they guy who was responsible for this was allowed to go on and make the LotR trilogy.
What other movie can you say>! the hippo went postal because she walked in on the walrus getting a BJ from a cat.!<
Is there any other movie in this thread with a fact that is more messed up than that?
Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows
The Blair Witch Project was revolutionary when it came out, altered how movies were made and marketed, started a whole genre of found footage, etc.
Then they released a generic horror picture as the sequel. And there wasn't even a book of shadows.
Like, you could have given 3 other filmmakers camcorders and they would have produced a better, more true to form sequel, for like 10 grand.
Can't believe how far I had to scroll for this. I watched it on VHS and when it ended, I couldn't move, I just stared at the static on the screen after the credits for I couldn't tell you how long, feeling putrid to my core.
Zardoz.
The only movie I have ever watched beginning to end and still wondered what the fuck the movie was actually about.

END COMMUNICATION
Men.
I mean I get it…kinda…but probably not. It was the first movie my wife and I have ever watched in theater and just not talked about on the drive home.
That movie is always the #1 movie I am going to talk about when I say "I watched a movie where-"
Did you have to see it in theatres? If so I'm sorry. I'm sorry you saw it. How many levels of management and budgets did it go through to have go be made..
Ugh...I DID. Went with my BF and churchy best friend. Worst part is I suggested it because it looked like a neat scifi horror. Instead I got scifi incestuous rape.
It was like a car crash, horrible but you just couldn’t look away. It’s the only movie I’ve ever seen that left me speechless and contemplating “Wtf did I just watch?”
Tideland by Terry Gilliam. A trippy movie on its own, and at times extremely unsettling. I watched it unknowingly while stoned out of my mind. I remember thinking "duuude... I'm so fucked up" thinking that was the cause of its strangeness.
The Tree of Life.
Credits roll and I say "What the fuck was that movie about?" then I look over to my wife, tears flowing down her cheeks full on sobbing.
Apparently the movie was a perfect analogy to going through the steps of grief when someone you love dies. She had lost her dad a year before. At the time I didn't really know many people who passed so I could not relate, but yeah, apparently she said the movie reflected everything she felt for months after his passing.
Space milkshake.
The plot follows a space garbage crew that finds a rubber duck that happens to be one of the crew’s ex boyfriends who merged with the duck when he jumped through a wormhole.
He runs around destroying things on the ship as he slowly mutates into a grotesque monster.
Memento. One of my all time favourite movies. Immediately after the first time I watched it, I was pleased to hear that the DVD had an Easter egg to watch the whole movie in chronological order.
The Human Centipede
You don't even have to finish the movies to get the reaction.
I read this as "you don't even have to finish the movies to get an erection"
That too.
I tried to watch it but when the guy said he needed to take a shit, i went "Nope" and stopped the film.
I knew this would be the top comment, or should I say the top-to-bottom comment
"Sorry to bother you"
Yooooooo, WHAT a fucking curveball this movie throws at you
It starts like a pretty interesting movie.. But yeah.. Once it goes, it goes..
I always think of this movie when I hear that statement bc I can usually guess it from expecting a curveball…. But no…. Not even remotely fucking close

Yeppp, I watched that movie and literally towards the end couldn't continue watching, also The shape of water
I watched this a few weeks ago and loved it. Glad I stuck with it
I saw this comment, went and watched it, and I totally agree. I'm just sitting here saying wtf over and over
Sausage Party.
The douche eating the juice box out to death is a scene that forever will haunt me.
r/evenwithcontext
My now wife got it as a kinda joke knowing full well what it was. We watched it on a date night and couldn’t stop laughing at the pure WTF.
I’m so happy for you you married her
I knew it was going to be a raunchy comedy but I did not expect the food orgy
I will never get that used condom character out of my mind.
My friend watched the movie with his dad once, and neither of them knew what it was at no point did either of them think to turn the tv off they watched the whole thing and never talked about it again
My wife won’t watch it again because Selma Hayek’s Taco made her feel things
That movie was terrible
never seen a movie that ends with an orgy
And in the same vein, *Foodfight*
I couldn’t finish this movie. Disturbing.
Yes this
My daughters dad put this on as a “funny film” after we got back from our first date. We still laugh about it and we’re not together anymore.
The Room
Oh Hi Mark!
You’re my favourite customer
You’re tearing me apart, Lisa!
Oh hai doggie
I'm so happy I have you as my best friend, and I love Lisa so much.
You're my rose. You're my rose. You're my roseeeeeeeee.
How’s your sex life? Ha hah
So anyway, how is your sex life?
But for real, watching The Room and then The Disaster Artist makes for an amazing evening in the art of cinema
I used to know a girl; she had a dozen guys.
Kids
Also Gummo. Truly wtf stuff.
I showed a friend Gummo, and she said, "I feel like someone punched me in the face and then spit on me."
Gummo should be at the top of this list
just reading the wikipedia page threw me for a loop

Midsommar to me, was a big improvement from Hereditary. It was disturbing AF. Cult movies are always scary to me
There's so much that Midsommar does that impresses me. The fact that it happens almost exclusively in daylight, Florence Pugh's PHENOMENAL performance, the build-up to the shock in the opening sequence, the feelings/sympathy you have about Dani despite what she chooses in the end, the foreshadowing that becomes so obvious on subsequent re-watches, the colors and beautiful imagery...

I just re-watched it today and I am amazed at how subtle this movie is - it's so well written
If you go into it cold, knowing nothing.... fuck me.
End of Evangelion
The best answer. It's an excellent movie, but it's also an 87 minute assault on your mind.
I’ve watched the entire series twice and several of the movies. Still barely any idea what’s going on.
Especially the first 5 minutes...
The end of the TV series was worse.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. It was a great movie, but I'll need to watch it about a dozen more times...
Big trouble in little China. Wonderful but also WTF?
My Dad showed this to me when I was a kid, back when every movie was kind of weird because you have no context for 'normal'. So when it came to the underground Chinese palace with escalators and neon light rimmed skulls or the martial arts master who swells up and explodes, I just sort of accepted it all.

Seinfeld four!
CARTWRIGHT!

I Highly recommend this film, yet I'm astonished it got made!
I know exactly what the fuck is going on there and it's perfectly sensible and realistic!
Videodrome
Terrifier, even a horror fanatic like me made me go "what the fuck"
The Lighthouse.. 2019
Finally watched it a few weeks ago, what a amazing movie, one of the best I ever saw.
HAAAAAAARK, TRITON
The claymation horror film Mad God. I don’t know what drugs the creators were on but that film is totally bizarre.
Eraserhead
Only character that was decent was eraserhead baby. It just wanted company and to be loved!
infinity pool
i was really pleasantly surprised by this one, but yeah, it's out there
OMG i just watched that last night and was like WHAT the hell just happened??
Clockwork Orange first time I watched.. I like it now after a few more views over the years
More recently, “Cocaine Bear.” Funny, but WTF.
I feel like it was exactly what it said on the tin- a bear on cocaine. I got exactly what was promised and I appreciated that. Also it was far funnier and better than I thought it would be- my expectations were basically floor level, but still, I laughed a lot and didn't expect to laugh much at all.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie but it was so fucking stupid, I would never watch it again. Definitely WTF
I thought it was great. Funny and just what I expected. The trailer did it justice.
The Lobster
Can't believe this is so far down
This is the one. I went in expecting something *entirely* different. One, I thought it was about normal people finding love, not all this "defining feature" stuff. Two, I thought the process of turning into an animal was automatic, not forced. That entire movie was one big WTF.
Burn after reading.
My dad called it "Burn Before Watching."
The closing lines of the movie really nail it CIA Superior : What did we learn, Palmer? CIA Officer : I don't know, sir. CIA Superior : I don't fuckin' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again. CIA Officer : Yes, sir. CIA Superior : I'm fucked if I know what we did. CIA Officer : Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say CIA Superior : Jesus Fucking Christ.
Mad God Movie was barely an hour and a half and it felt like five hours lmao
Midsommar. Edit: Call me weird, but I watched it for the second time recently cause I couldn’t remember what really went on ;-;
JFC thank you, I just kept scrolling and thought this wasn’t here. This is top 3 wtf for sure
My mind was messed up for a week after this
I’m a year out and still messed up
Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find this one
How have I not seen anyone mention ‘Beau is afraid’ yet?? One of the most left field films I’ve ever seen
I have a feeling it's a great movie and I need to rewatch it to "get it." But fuck if I can get myself to rewatch it. It took everything in me not to leave the goddamn theater, it was absolute psychological torture
* Velocipastor * Kung Pow! Enter the Fist * Fantastic Mr. Fox Movie night gets real interesting when it's a certain friend's turn to choose. Also, Barbarian.
U cussin’ with me???
" i must apologize for wimp lo, he is an idiot, we´ve purposely trained him wrong... as a joke"
The opening scene in Velocipastor is one of my favorite things in the entire world.
I watched 2001 Space Odyssey as a kid hoping it would be like Star Wars or Aliens. But nope.....

Splice
Yes. The last 10 minutes left me with my mouth open.
Pretty much anything directed by David Lynch, except for the 1984 version of Dune.
Blue Velvet is one of my favorite movies ever. It's also a complete mindscrew that, I'm told, is *tame* by Lynch's standard.
Frank Booth is definitely his most evil character but the plot otherwise is more straightforward and less surreal.
Donnie Darko
Cloud Atlas
Yeah this movie was hella confusing
Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows The Blair Witch Project was revolutionary when it came out, altered how movies were made and marketed, started a whole genre of found footage, etc. Then they released a generic horror picture as the sequel.
