The Show-Off

I suspect that most WU readers will identify with the bad boy, rather than with the prissy narrator here.

Enjoy this battle between Detroit and European steel from Kirk Douglas's THE MASTER TOUCH.

Hedy Lamarr

I suppose this datum is so famous that it's almost "Not Weird" anymore. But just in case you hadn't heard:

Famed movie beauty Hedy Lamarr was also a brainiac who invented a brilliant bit of communications technology. You can read the details in her Wikipedia entry.

You'll see her in the clip below in her famous nude scene from ECSTASY. I suppose it's NSFW, if you work in church basement or someplace similar.

If only all scientists looked like this!

This clip has an interesting lesson to teach us: if you're going to go skinny-dipping, do not entrust your clothes to a horny horse.

The Electric Hotel

Electricity can do anything!

NOTE: When I first posted this on Sunday morning, the link was bad. My apologies!

Try it now!

Diana Dors

Here's one of the weirdest things about life. There's this thing called "time" that can turn beautiful young creatures into bloated parodies of themselves.

Take the case of Diana Dors....

Weekend in Havana

Can you sing as fast as Carmen Miranda does in this tune, "Rebola a Bola," from WEEKEND IN HAVANA?

I found the Portuguese lyrics and had Google translate them. The eccentric result is to be found after the jump: original line in Portuguese followed by English "translation."

Teenage Catgirls In Heat

I have not yet watched this 1997 film from infamous Troma Studios, but I could not resist putting up this trailer.

Have any WU readers actually subjected themselves to this one?

NOTE: clip is very mildly NSFW.

Cobra Woman

I saw Maria Montez's COBRA WOMAN about a year ago. But I had to buy an all-regions DVD player and order the DVD from England, since it's unavailable here. But the expense was worth it, as I think you'll agree after you watch the trailer.

The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse

Besides having a great porn-movie title, this film starring Edward G. Robinson is just all over the map. Part comedy, part high-society drama, part courtroom drama, part gangster film, it features the loony premise of a medical doctor who becomes a crook for research purposes. Toss in Claire Trevor's weird lisp, and it's a surefire WU candidate!

Russian Ark

What's so weird about the film titled RUSSIAN ARK? It's 90-some minutes long--and shot entirely in one continuous take. The camera--a special digital one--was turned on and never turned off for the duration of the shoot. They had to try four times before they suceeded.
