From one of the acclaimed writers of Star Trek and The Twilight Zone comes a story that transcends both time and space...
A Man From Earth
An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he has a longer and stranger past than they can imagine.
This is a movie to provoke deep thought and conversation and that dares to challenge mainstream beliefs. It is one of the most intensely engaging dramas that I have had the pleasure to see. Excellent ensemble performances created believably real characters, each with his or her own fallibilities, personal credo, and enthusiasms.
The movie is basically a conversation amongst college professors. So if you are looking for serial murders, chase scenes, or shoot-outs, you won't find it here. If you enjoy thought experiments and intelligent discourse, and appreciate what it means to accept your friends for who they are, see this.

A brash and arrogant podcaster gets more than he bargained for when he travels to Canada to interview a mysterious recluse... who has a rather disturbing fondness for walruses.

I downloaded this movie onto my iPad from Amazon Prime to watch on a long airplane flight several years ago. I didn't know anything about it, the synopsis on Amazon was vague, but it won a best foreign (Japanese) film Academy Award so I decided to try it. It kept me riveted.

For an interesting movie on time travel watch the very very low budget movie
The budget for the entire film was around $7000. Most of the money was spent on film stock.
PRIMER
www.imdb.com
Engineers Aaron, Abe, Robert and Phillip are working on an invention, the prototype being built in Aaron's garage. This project is beyond their day jobs. The project truly does belong to Aaron and Abe, as they use all their free time working on it, primarily trying to overcome the many engineering related problems they've encountered. It is during one of his tests with the invention running that Abe discovers that a protein inside the main unit has multiplied much more rapidly than it could in nature. Rather than the invention being a protein super incubator, Abe, using himself as a guinea pig, and a very meticulous one at that, discovers that the invention can be used as a time machine. In his self experiment, Abe was especially careful not to interfere with his own self in that time warp. Abe passes along this discovery to Aaron, who he expects will tell his wife Kara in what is the sanctity of their marriage, but he doesn't want to tell either Robert or Phillip. Much to Abe's surprise, Aaron does not want to tell Kara, it being a sole intellectual property of just the two of them, in the process moving the base of operation to a locked storage unit. Aaron's plan for the two of them is to use the invention to win big in the stock market by knowing through the time travel what has happened in the market. With two thoughts on the matter now instead of just one, Aaron and Abe may hit some logistical and philosophical roadblocks in how to move forward.

I'm not a big fan of strange, and especially not of dark. But here's a couple:
"The Age of Adaline": fantasy/romance about a woman who lives at the age of 29 for 80 years (Harrison Ford and setting in San Francisco are plusses for me)
"Warlock Moon" (on YouTube): No warlocks, no moons. Very low budget & badly cheesy 70's horror, filmed in Livermore, CA. Cast includes Laurie Walters (Eight is Enough), Joe Spano (NCIS & more), and my uncle as the unfortunate hunter. I went to the premier where they handed out souvenir plates like in the 30's: a paper plate with a printed sticker; still have it.

Back when there were drive-ins at Texas Stadium (Irving), The future DW and I went to the drive-in to watch a couple of movies.
One of the movies was "Its Alive", which if not the worse weird strange movies every made, it had to be in the top 3.

A Clockwork Orange?Around 1970, my boyfriend at the time and I went to one of those little art-house theaters to see an obscure film.
It was so awful and so evil, that to this day I will never describe it to anyone or even tell you the title.

World Gone Wild with Bruce Dern, Michael Pare, Catherine Mary Stewart and Adam Ant.
1987 post apocalypse movie
Brief summary from the website:
"In the nuclear ravaged wasteland of Earth 2087 water is as precious as life itself. The isolated Lost Wells outpost survived the holocaust and the inhabitants guard the source of their existence. Now an evil cult of renegades want control of their valuable water supply. And the villagers are no match for such brute military force. Only one man can help the stricken community - a mercenary living in a distant cannibal city. But even he, and his strange henchmen, may not be able to survive in the world gone wild."
World Gone Wild (1987) - IMDb
My favorite line, Bruce Derns character to Michael Pares character after a click instead of a boom.
"Magic work much better when there be bullet in the gun. Asshole."
Cheesy, light apocalypse flick, but a fun look back at the genre in the 1980s. Some funny lines to keep it light.
ETA: Couldn't find it with a search on Amazon Prime or ROKU, but did find the whole movie on YouTube.
