Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967)

This movie is bizarre in a way that only seemed possible in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Six damaged characters interacting on an Army post in the south, the choice to have the entire film shot through a gold filter just adds to the feeling of oppressive sultriness that I associate with the South. The ending is completely whack-a-doodle, but may be worth watching the entire film just to experience its conclusion. The cast is quite stacked with Marlon Brandon, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Harris, Brian Keith, and Robert Forrester playing five of the main characters and directed by the incredible John Huston.
