I know Hud and recall the scene where he tells the
rancher or his dad or whatever to sell the diseased
cattle instead of putting them down. From the film: "You're hard man Hud."
I guess. :-/
As for quirky films starring big stars I'd give the
nod to Steve McQueen in "Baby The Rain Must Fall". I'm
still looking for that to see it again. I don't see stuff
like The Wild One w/Brando as being outrageous or even
interesting.
Other all-time quirkout is "The Ruling Class" with Peter O'Toole.
FYI, Isabelle Huppert is in the new release called "I [heart]
Huckabee's."
