Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Speaking of rabbits… sure, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the biggest hit at the box office in 1988. But it’s also one of the strangest movies we’ve ever seen, and probably the strangest movie to become a huge commercial success.
It takes the old Disney trick of combining live-action with cartoons, but does it as a straight-out noir, complete with a va-va-voom femme fatale, Jessica Rabbit (voiced by Kathleen Turner). On top of that, there’s a fairly complicated (and kind of accurate) conspiracy theory at the heart of it about turning Los Angeles into a city ruled by cars.
It’s also filled with dark humor, like the joke about sending poor Roger “back to the science lab.” We love Roger Rabbit, one of the strangest movies we’ve ever seen, and a movie that opened our young minds to all kinds of possibility.
