Added "Beat The Devil" (1953), you can watch it here:

Very strange film, not because anything surreal happens, but because the whole tone is very... odd.
The cast and crew are A-list: directed by John Huston, screenplay by Truman Capote, starring Humphrey Bogart etc.
In theory it's a comedy about grifters waiting for a ship to leave an Italian port, but in practice it's extremely dialogue-heavy and off-beat. Almost experimental.

Just so happened I watched Beat the Devil two months ago, as a #FridayFilm

Reportedly Humphrey Bogart wanted to make the film as it gave him a chance to poke fun at some of his iconic roles. Bogart & director John Huston were best of friends.
