15 Weirdest Movies Of 2016

2. Swiss Army Man

No matter what Daniel Radcliffe does, he’ll never truly escape Harry Potter’s shadow. To his immense credit he seems to realise this, and since the series wrapped up he’s been challenging himself with interesting roles in movies like Horns, Imperium and Kill Your Darlings.

This definitely extends to Swiss Army Man, where he plays a farting corpse prone to receiving erections. While it sounds like a bad taste comedy it’s a strangely endearing buddy movie, where he and co-star Paul Dano form a touching friendship; despite one of them being quite dead.

It might sound like faint praise but Radcliffe is pretty amazing playing a dead guy, and the movie is one of the underrated gems of 2016.
