I remember watching the old horror classic "Freaks". I purchased the movie and have watched it a few times. There was another movie a "shockumentary" on Modern Day Slavery produced by two Italian filmakers that horrified me with some of what they filmed. I also have some Tarzan films with Johnny Weismuller.

I have seen Freaks 3 times. There is something about that film.

I loved that movie. Speaking of freaks, if ever 999 Eyes comes to your town, check 'em out!

If you like weird films, give a Kuchar film a chance. You can also try a Troma film. Fun, weird stuff.

Freaks is quite an experience, especially on first viewing. Nothing like it.

Sweet Movie is another one that sticks out in my memory, haven't seen it in ages though. I think it just recently got its official dvd release.

I agree. It's a classic. When it first came out in the US, people were horrified by it. In fact it was banned in Great Britain for over 30 years. There was a scene that was cut out of the film(at the end) before it was publicly released that showed the strongman singing in a choir in a high-pitched voice as a result of him being castrated. Apparently the director of the film felt it was simply too much.

I own "The Librarian" (and its sequel) and have watched it many times.

People I know who have seen it think it is very lame. But I love it.
