For a wonderfully bizarre and grotesque film, catch the 1927 silent film The Unknown with Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford(!) on TCM early Monday morning at 6:00am (EDT).
The film is a hoot! Chaney plays Alonzo, an armless knife-thrower in a Spanish circus who loves Joan. But, things are not what they seem (are they ever?). Watch this film (it runs under an hour) and I guarantee you'll never forget it.
Definitely a must-see!

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
