Rubber

Rubber
Dir. Quentin Dupieux
48/300

That's right, a tire that can make things explode for nearly an hour and a half.  Sounds like a stupid premise for a movie, but they make it entertaining with a good deal of fake blood, playing up the bizarre factor, and giving Stephen Spinella a very up-front monologue about the lack of reason of what you're about to see upon entry into this film experience.

Had this humorous statement not been made at the beginning and revisited at the end of the film, I feel like people probably would have really been trying to find the reasons for many things that happen in the movie.  How'd the tire get in the desert?  Why is it set on destruction?  Why is there another audience within the movie watching the movie?

No reason.

But this movie has Cult Classic written all over it, and already has a following.  So, the lack of reason seems to work.  Really, if you think about it, most cult classics have a lot of unexplainable things occur as well.

In Eraser head, why is that guy so weird, what's up with his hair, and what's that little theater all about?

Why is it called Troll 2?  There are no trolls in that whole movie.

In the Room...  well, what was Tommy Wiseau thinking?  Has he even seen humans talk to each other?

In House...  again, what was going on throughout that entire movie that had any reason for happening besides the girl's dad wanting to ship his daughter off?

No reason.
