The missus found an old VHS cassette of Roswell, the 1994 HBO movie starring Kyle MacLachlan (Dune, Twin Peaks) and Martin Sheen, at the library book swap. The tape was a little worse for wear, but the film itself is well worth checking out. Fascinating dramatization of the events, with some heavy doses of MJ-12 conspiracy theory and AAT thrown in to boot.
MacLachlan should be high on your weirdness-resonator list. Aside from making his debut in David Lynch's adaptation of Frank Herbert's Templar/Jesuit allegory, he also starred in this forgotten gem, pitting two alien walk-ins (of a sort) in a battle to the death with some ubiquitous 80s music pounding away throughout. Another big influence on the Mighty X, to boot.
