Friends, I find myself in need of some help. For a film class, I'm giving a presentation on the idea of "WHAT?!" moments in film, and I need some input. What are simply some of the most balls-out insane moments from any movies you've ever seen? So far I have the dog-man blowjob from The Shining, James Earl Jones in a locust costume from Exorcist 2, a little bit of The Apple (Although the entire film is one big WHAT), some Zardoz sequences, the boat scene from Willy Wonka....you get the idea. The end result will be essentially a video set to Magic and Ecstasy by Ennio Morricone (the theme from Exorcist 2), showcasing the most batshit of the batshit. Again, any help is appreciated.

Consider any of a dozen moments from Under the Skin. And yes, to echo the Lynch idea, the Robert Blake stuff from Lost Highway. Also I just looked up what happened to Robert Blake on Wikipedia.... "WHAT?" indeed. Jewmanji fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Sep 23, 2015 |

Honestly? The ending to The Gallows. Not the epilogue, but the weird play re-enactment with the ghost bowing to an audience of one person thing. I laughed my rear end off at it.

The moment in Vanilla Sky where Tom Cruise is loving Penelope Cruz, then suddenly she turns into Cameron Diaz, then back to Penelope Cruz, then back to Cameron Diaz, and he gives a bewildered "WHAT THE gently caress IS HAPPENING?!?!?" That's one where I was in full agreement with Tom Cruise.

Clips from Hausu are hard to find, but gifs are easy.    Love you, OP. Take care.

Possession's subway scene made me like, "WHAT?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsDb4I6gAZQ And of course (spoilers?) the ending of Don't Look Now had me all What...the...gently caress? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCjfk1Ixpy4 Edit: Also it's a bit long but I thought the end color segment of Alice in Acidland was pretty cool especially with how mundane the rest of it was.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AIcTfScGoU

Well since its Halloween season I've got horror on the brain. The Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjIXwkX1e48 The Fly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH-8L1iZq20 Creepshow 2(The Raft): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO_vuWjvGzE And of course, THE scene. You will never be the same after viewing this scene, I know I sure wasn't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p6QgDY1CHo

In the Departed when the elevator opens and DiCaprio gets popped in the head. I still get nervous every time I'm an elevator and the door opens.

Hausu is great, and I'm going to re-watch my Criterion Collection blu-ray of it as soon as I get home from work, thanks for reminding me about it.  However bananas you think it is before seeing it, you're wrong. It's so much more. Also, it literally features bananas that literally appear out of nowhere.

The spiders from Enemy would be my most recent addition to the list. Also the creepy Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis sex scene from Black Swan, along with some of the other crazier visuals in that movie.

My instructor is actually very interested in this concept. If you're gonna threadshit, kindly gently caress off. You're the kid that, instead of letting a person experience Monty Python And The Holy Grail for themselves, fast forwards to all the iconic parts and talks along with the scene. The reason why these moments are so iconic is because the movie built to it or it's a dramatic tone shift. By doing a supercut of these moments, you're not only removing any build, you're ruining the impact of those scenes for any of your classmates who haven't seen them yet.
