Holy Motors (2012)

The WTF Movie: Leos Carax's long-awaited return confirms him as an art-house agent provocateur, as he unleashes Denis Lavant - a kind of French Mr Benn - on the world in a variety of increasingly bizarre disguises.

Drop Your Popcorn Moment: Lavant, dressed as a monster in a suit, kidnaps Eva Mendes. As you do.

Kill List (2011)

The WTF Movie: Ben Wheatley's second film starts as Mike Leigh-esque domestic satire, veers into ultra-violent hitman thriller and then really starts to get weird.

Drop Your Popcorn Moment: Trying to leave Paris, the couple is caught in traffic - an eight-minute tracking shot full of strangeness.

The Tree Of Life (2011)

The WTF Movie: Terrence Malick charts the beginning of life on Earth, while Sean Penn tries to figure out what dinosaurs have to do with his childhood in 1950s Texas.

Jacob's Ladder (1990)

The WTF Movie: A Vietnam vet (Tim Robbins) starts to crack up on his return to America when he sees horrific apparitions.

Drop Your Popcorn Moment: The explain-it-all twist ending.

Mulholland Dr. (2001)

The WTF Movie: Originally conceived as a pilot for a TV show, David Lynch's Hollywood-set nightmare proved too perplexing for studios to greenlight.

Drop Your Popcorn Moment: A man unwisely decides to check behind his local diner, scene of a freakish dream he'd had.

Little Otik (2000)

The WTF Movie: Jan Švankmajer's surreal comedy about a couple who decide to raise a tree stump as their child, only to find it coming to life.

Drop Your Popcorn Moment: Otik reveals an insatiable appetite by chomping on its mother's hair.
