For me, the weirdest is a tie between "The 5,000 fingers of Dr. T," and "Zardoz." The latter of which I saw once while under the influence of Timothy Leary's favorite substance. That was disturbing.

I met Henry Winkler when I was a teen at an airport. I was maybe 15/16 (1995/6), was sitting and gave him thumbs up not wanting to bother him since he seemed like he was busy heading somewhere. He actually stopped and walked over to start talking to me.

I too came across Henry Winkler at LAX. Late night, he was walking alone from one of the outer gates toward the street exit. He looked exhausted. The thought came to me to ask for an autograph or just say I like his work but he did not look up to it. I nodded as we passed each other on the otherwise empty walkway.

'The Lighthouse' isn't an excessively weird movie, but it was one of my weirdest movie experiences. Me and my cousin spontaneously caught a 3 o'clock matinee of it with no idea what we were going to see. There were only 4 people total in the room, nobody said a word, nobody made a noise. Attendants never came into the room. We all sat down, watched the movie, got up and left. We weren't sure afterwards if it had all been a fever dream or not. Still one of our favorite movies

So, Astoria Oregon. I went there first as a training deployment as an Army Ranger (Camp Rilea is nearby), and then went back for a Top Squad competition a few years later (still in the Army). The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop were filmed there and it was also referenced in Band of Brothers. I even recognized landmarks from the movies as we drove through the town. I've been to other places where movies were filmed, but no other place had quite the same feeling of nostalgia and awe as Astoria. I would move there in an instant. I don't know why, but the memories are really fond memories (despite the fact that the experiences were some of the hardest things I've had to do in my entire life).

After residents of their quiet retirement community start dying of dubiously unnatural causes, Elvis and Jack discover that the perpetrator is Bubba Ho-Tep, an Egyptian mummy with murderous intentions.

From what I've heard he actually did that stunt himself. Winkler was an avid water skier. So it was a skill he possessed outside of his acting and they incorporated it into the show.

I have to agree with the black and white movies that just impressed me so much. They didn't have cgi or special effects or sometimes even much budget so they made their stories grab your interest. One of my favorite movies of all time is the Henvy Fonda version of '12 Angry Men' ; filmed as a stage play over two scenes, in black and white (don't ever try to watch a colourized version) and just let the actiing tell the tale.
@1pcfred

They had special effects. The earliest movies mostly relied on gimmicks. While artists experimented with the media. The whole movie magic thing. There's a story about a scene in King Kong which was stop motion animation and in it a flower bloomed instantly. Because it was just taking so long to do the shots. That ruined that footage and they had to do it over. Everyone was like look at the magic flower! That took away from the action they were trying to film.

Capra's "Meet John Doe" and Wilder's "Ball Of Fire" are two great pre-war films pairing Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper. Barbara's acting is always astounding - the directors always made sure they got an early take with her, because she always has zany spontaneity in her expressions, that can't be repeated. Like the priceless look she gave in "Ball Of Fire" before she went to stand in the sunlight for Gary Cooper.

As I was waiting outside for the venue to open up, I saw Teller (of Penn and Teller) hanging out and talking to someone. I wanted so bad to go up and meet him but I also didn't think celebrities really like to be bothered while they're just trying to have fun (although I'm sure he would have been gracious about it) so I opted just to leave him be.

Clive Barker made a couple early films with some college friends in the 70s that were finally released in the late 90s. 'Salome' and 'The Forbidden' are very strange offerings. One thing I noticed was that he had a board with a grid of nails in it and was doing these artsy shots playing with light and shadow across this grid of nails. Immediately I thought how he had finally taken that concept to its completion when he created Pinhead in the Hellraiser movies and wrapped the entire head of a character in that nail grid.

It was pretty much the undiluted vision of Dan Akroyd, so it's no surprise that it's so... odd.

As soon as I saw the title of the this video I thought.. Forbidden Zone. In 2000 it was really difficult to find but ended up I ordering my VHS copy directly from Richard Elfman through his website. It was a high quality dub with handwritten labels and signed by Richard Elfman. If you've never seen it, Forbidden Zone is a manic black & white 'R' rated live-action musical that takes heavy influence from early Max Fleischer cartoons with music by The Mystical Knights of the Oingo Boingo and is a fever dream of weirdness. It's definitely not for everyone but I love it and find it hilarious and the music is super catchy.

It's a personal favorite of mine. It's like Rocky Horror Picture Show, but even more. Definitely not a movie that could be made today, but I love movies like that. Just pure id and passion.

Adam, I feel like you really should have talked to Henry Winkler. I think you really under-estimate just how much of a media figure _you_ are. _Everyone_ who watched TV in the Mythbusters era watched Mythbusters. And we all loved it. You're a big part of TV nostalgia for a lot of us. There's no reason to think Henry wouldn't think so too.

For favorites, The Philadelphia Story is also up there on my list! You'd think there's nothing about it that younger Gen X guy would like. But I was hooked the first time I saw it. The heavy sarcasm helped (most of my 30s and 40s favorites are loaded with that). But as you say, the acting is incredible, the scenes are beautiful, and it draws you in.

Peter Jacksons first 2 films Bad Taste and Meet The Feebles are strange one's, along with John Water's early work also, Pink Flamingos will always be at the top of the weirdest bits of cinema ever made .

My favourite weird animated movies have to be Wizards by Ralph Bakshi, and Fantastic Planet. For live action the Weirdest movie I've seen is Holy Mountain, but my favourites would have to be Stalker, and Simone of the Desert.

Adam, I don't get the vibe from Henry Winkler that someone saying "Hi! I'm a big fan!" would bother him like, at all. He seems like one of the sweetest dudes ever.

Yeah but there's the whole bothering famous people thing. Although I guess at a con they pretty much signed up to be bothered by the public.

Around 2008 I was touring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As we were looking around I noticed a docent giving someone what seemed like a personal tour. I looked a little closer and said “holy shit that’s Henry Winkler” So as he’s having some artifact, explained to him I casually sidle up and wait till they were done talking and lean in and quietly just say “Mr. Winkler don’t want to bother you just wanted to say big fan really love your work that’s all” He responds in a very friendly manner to the effective of oh thanks very much. Great to hear. What’s your name and we have a conversation for a few minutes. I introduced my girlfriend at the time and he could not have been more pleasant. I hadn’t thought of it, not wanting to bother him, but as we finished our conversation, he hands us a card from a show that he was on that was new at the time. I think it was some sort of medical comedy for it. So, say goodbye and start walking away when he slightly raises his voice and says nice to meet us or something that effect and then two or three other patrons notice him. It always struck me as funny that it seems like he did very slightly on purpose since it seemed, no one else had recognized him . 😂 😂😂 And finally, a few minutes later I remark “ shoot we should’ve asked him to sign the card or something” But as we turned it over, as a testament to the forethought and ESP abilities of the Fonz, It was already signed best wishes, Henry Winkler So next time @adamsavage don’t hesitate to say hi ! 😅😅

As a Clevelander, I feel obliged to point out that not only was a lot of Winter Soldier shot here, but a lot of the third act of The Avengers, too! I remember being at a very large showing of it and people cheering when they saw some of the local landmarks.

Henry Winkler is by far the nicest human I have ever met, he is a wonderful person and he makes you feel like you have been friends your whole life. Would recommend meeting him if you ever have the chance.

I enjoy visiting places where movies were filmed, I know Adam is going to Chicago later in the year. The home alone house and Woodstock IL (groundhog day) are very fun visits. I try to get a different place in every time I go to Chicago

Apocalypse Now is probably my most favorite movie of all time! The story is bizarre as a whole, the cinematography is epic, and the cast is amazing! I think the 3 other movies that impacted me the most were On The Waterfront (1954) with Brando, On The Beach (1959) with Gregory Peck, Anthony Perkins, and Ava Gardner, and The Deer Hunter (1978) with De Niro and Christopher Walken.

There was 15 commandments at first, but he dropped one of the tablets and now there's only 10. True story.
