Primer. I needed to re-watch it at least 3 times to even begin understanding WTF was happening. Even the wiki sites that try to explain it are incomprehensible at first.
Eraserhead
everything everywhere all at once
The Boys. That show is a wild ride.
Requiem for a Dream and Happiness. Crazy movies.
I though about that the first time I saw Requiem for a Dream, and then suddenly thought to myself. It's not actually mindblowing. It's just a formulaic, cookie cutter story of a bunch of people doing drugs, I kind of think it's really overrated from a critical standpoint now. But I did get an initial shock.
Rubber. I went in knowing it was a WTF film, but had NO idea how far out it was. It made Sharknado make sense by comparison.
It was also an excellent movie! That tire really made me feel for it even without any facial expressions or dialog.
But why did you watch it? No reason.
Sorry To Bother You was a wild fucking ride. Definitely watch it high for maximum wtf
I still have no fucking clue what that movie was supposed to be about
The Pacific Rim sequel. I just thought:"Why??".
Almost every episode of Raised By Wolves, especially the second season when things got REAL bonkers. Man, I miss that show.
Lol. Just continuous one upping the WTF each episode. It was so good for that.
I liked it a lot.
Everything everywhere all at once, but in a good way
Dark City
Just inject it in your head!
Punch Drunk Love. Seriously what was this about?
EXistenZ - The final question "Are we still in the game?" really summarized the first watch experience. You have no clue what's going on anymore by that point. Same goes for Total Recall by the way - that movy also has you guessing what's real and what isn't throughout 90% of the runtime.
Mother. It's not that I didn't get the allegory, it was just weird. Also Antichrist, though to be fair, saying "wtf did I just watch" was the whole point of the movie.
I didn't get the allegory in Mother, and I didn't really care. Totally wtf, but I loved how nightmarish it was, and how it looked visually, I was completely enthralled.

Unicorn Warsβ¦ itβs a French/Spanish animation movie about a βcarebearβ v unicorns war. Itβs like full metal jacket, but much more brutal and bizarreβ¦.
Spun
Films super wild, also Brittany Murphy's last role as well.
Edit: Altered States is another WTF movie.
A field in England
- Everything Everywhere All At Once
- Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome
Biosphere (2023).
Watched it because I'm a fan of doomsday scenarios. The former president of the United states starts spontaneously growing a vagina and uterus because 'life uuuh, finds a way'.
I won't wreck the rest of the plot but this movie took a fucking wild turn and left me sitting there the whole time going WTF!
The Lighthouse. I still don't know what the hell happened.
Bad boy bubby
Event Horizon or the Toxic Avenger.
Inherent Vice
Gummo
Beef. What a ride.
Thankskilling
You've heard of A movies. You've heard of B movies. But have you ever heard of Z movies? No? Then Thankskilling is for you! (watch at your own risk, I am not liable for the mental, emotional, and other damage that will occur).

Belladonna of Sadness and maybe Angel's Egg.
I've seen weirder obscure experimental non-anime films I've forgotten the titles of. If I remember, I'll add it here.
