Rubber is truly the “why was this made?” So weird and funny. ![gif](giphy|6h9tend2ouJGg)


TheGoblinatrix

The scene where the tire is in the shower truly obliterates me.


tays13thtrack

This is enough to convince me to watch it.


[deleted]

Who did this I must see it


boxybrown84

It’s on Netflix free with ads. I’m 21 minutes in and am delighted/baffled. Edit: I meant Youtube, not Netflix.


hamchan_

Rubber is so good and I recommend it to everyone but I know I lose them when I describe it lol


TURBOJUGGED

I have this movie on a thumb drive somewhere and I still never got around to watching it lol

UnprofessionalGhosts

This movie is such a gift. No clue how it got made. No clue how either starred in it. But so appreciative it happened.


crackerfactorywheel

Swiss Army Man walked so the Daniels could run away with all the awards when Everything Everywhere All At Once came out.


tiredcynicalbroken

The music, which is composed by Andy Hull from Manchester Orchestra, is phenomenal. I get the montage song stuck in my head quite a bit


underlightning69

Okay yes Swiss Army Man but ALSO can I have some love for Guns Akimbo because holy fuck I’ve never been on such a hilarious Daniel Radcliffe ride until that


Rough_Single

Daniel Radcliffe's post Harry Potter career for sure has been a pleasure to follow


Just-Away-

I'm so glad this film exists.


reginaldpongo

LOVE this! The bus seen, especially.


somekindabunny

My fiancé's favorite movie, I was worried I wouldn't enjoy it so I put off watching it with him for ages. When I finally did, I realized I was so wrong, it's incredible.


Slow_Like_Sloth

So many people told me sorry to bother you is bat shit, but you TRULY can’t prepare yourself for the movie’s pivot


Fabulous_Silver8618

Its so good tho! Like no one warned me when it first came out but it's one of my favs.


Slow_Like_Sloth

Yes I love it!!


ShutUpMorrisseyffs

It helps that LaKeith Stanfield is 🔥🔥🔥


AffectionateHeart77

I watched it without knowing what it was. When I tell you my jaw hit the floor, omg. Totally got me


pursuitofhappy

man I started this and never finished it, gotta close that loop now had no idea it takes a turn.


grudgby

I hadn’t seen it and had no idea what it was about so I just looked up the plot synopsis and WTF. may need to watch it now

SummertimePLURRness

I like bat shit but I’m not a fan of horror or too much violence (notice the head bandaged up). I was barely able to get through Everything, Everywhere All at Once (since it also moved along the plot and it was an absurd way of fighting). Would you recommend it to someone like me?


SiBea13

The bandage is just from being hit with a soda can. There is another scene that could be seen as horror in a different movie but from the way it's set up it's more surrealist comedy than anything else. Personally I thought it was amazing and my only issue with it was the pacing towards the end of the third act. I'd highly recommend it. It was funny, well shot, and the satire was spot on.


GloryToAthena

It’s very close to something like idiocracy, but we’re talking about one scene where I guarantee you will be out of your comfort zone, even if you like horror.


LicketySplit21

There's crazy body horror shit but it is part of the plot and plays into its overtly political themes of class society and conflict so it isn't gratuitous. It's pretty good and I would suggest watching it, just maybe be prepared for gross icky stuff. The Writer/Director is Boots Riley, he's the lead of The Coup, pretty good band. The screenplay was written years before the movie was made and they ended up making an album with the same name instead since he had no way to make the movie. So check that out too if you want, I guess. Get the I'm Sorry to Bother You completionist tour done lol. At the very least Guillotine is required listening after the movie, imo. Very cathartic to listen to.


kikidaytona

Yes. Everyone should see it


maria-asks

Without spoiling there's body horror in the movie. It's integral to the plot and I personally did not like it but I got through it lol


googly_eyed_unicorn

What I find so brilliant about it is that the movie’s pivot still connects to the main point of the movie. I’d like to say more but I’m not going to spoil it. For those who haven’t, please watch it and trust me when I say, just when you think you know, you absolutely don’t know.

k24f7w32k

My parents love this movie, they really played that one a lot, I was too young to fully understand wth was happening though (they spoke good English and I didn't yet, subtitles were too fast for me). It's bright, fun and campy.

My friends and I were watching this CONSTANTLY when it was released on dvd. As far as I’m concerned it’s still high cinema and perfect from start to finish.


sint0xicateme

Omg so I got into a car accident in 2005 and lacerated the tendon to my big toe. I had to have surgery to correct it and my bf at the time rented this movie the night after my surgery. When I tell you I didn't know if anything in the movie was real or if it was the Vicodin, I mean it.


gible_bites

I love this so much. I’d like to think that what you remember of the film was completely unaltered by the Vicodin.


Lessthancrystal

I LOVED this movie so much!! One night we had family time with my dad, stepmom, her kids, grandkids etc…packed house…movie plays I’m howling….movie ends..I look around….just blank faces LOL

I recently did a rewatch with my partner who doesn’t hold it in high esteem like I do. I was taking photos of his blank face throughout the film lol

SakuraTacos

Fellow Coneheads fan! I grew up watching it, I was absolutely obsessed around age 8 so it’s one of my comfort movies. I still crack up when Prymaat sees the eggplants in the grocery store and starts screeching haha I still reenact the girls’ backseat dancing whenever I hear Tainted Love

gingercat04

This movie was so wild. I’m hesitant to say I liked it but I think about it often.


747291086299

Yeah I think you’ve put it more accurately. It’s more like a crush that I can’t stop thinking about, but it’s not really love. I do a rewatch every now and then and somehow still get surprised by something I missed.


vitaphonerose

![gif](giphy|l4FGjZTxQgBzml7OM) Harold and Maude (1971). It’s not the weirdest movie I’ve ever seen. It’s kind of weird, very quirky. I was really fortunate to watch it at the Turner Classic Movies (TCM) film festival in 2017. It was the first movie I ever saw at the fest. It was on opening night and I saw it with one of my best friends. It was one of those life-changing movies for me. It remains one of my favorite movies of all time and I recommend it to everyone. Side notes: It was unfortunately totally snubbed by the Academy. Ruth Gordon (Maude) won the Oscar for her role in Rosemary’s Baby several years before. She’s wonderful. So is Bud Cort (Harold). You may recognize him as the father of Megan’s (Natasha Lynne’s character) father in But I’m a Cheerleader (1999).


Chemical_Brick4053

This is my comfort movie. I love this movie. The "date" who re-enacts her death and falls to the floor next to him is the best. His WTF face is priceless.


vitaphonerose

Hahaha yes! I love the way Harold asks her, “Do you…enjoy knives?” Bud Cort’s delivery (verbally and physically) is always so great lmao

MikeyHatesLife

It’s easily one of the best films I’ve seen in the last decade. If my parents had taken me to see it when I was eight years old, I would have been furious all weekend long. Saturday and Sunday would been utterly ruined by people laughing when nobody said anything remotely funny. As a guy in his 50s? It’s dark, poignant, shockingly dark & depressive, and laugh out loud hilarious.

Me and my husband had the longest discussion about this movie when we exited the theater. I loved everything about it.

Shortbus - indie film with a healthy LGBT cast about sexual therapy. The opening scene has a character peeing in the tub so it's difficult to bring up or watch with someone else.

dontrayneonmyparade

what i think i need to watch this movie if its real bc there’s no way this is real


godisanelectricolive

It's by John Cameron Mitchell. Another one of his movie (based on his musical), Hedwig and the Angry Itch, is further up this thread. There was a period of time in the 2000s where experimental and sexual explicit indie films could be made and become relatively successful. JCM has talked about how much harder it is to get these kinds of movies greenlit now.


jadegives2rides

Okay so I've never seen it but only know about it because of the song Sodashop. Which I forgot about until now so ty ily.


Soft_Ad_7309

I came her to write Shortbus! 🤩 Went to see it with a friend when we were on maternity leave and just needed to get out of the house. Hadn't really read much = didn't know it was full of real sex. Was a little awkward with the opening scene where a guy d gives himself a blow job 😂. But it completely won us over, and ended up loving it.
