There has been a lot of speculation lately that perhaps the Klingons in
the ST movies look different than those in the series because "klingon"
is a political designation not a racial one, and that the Klingon Empire
encompasses many races.
I don't think this quite works though. Remember in "The Trouble with Tribbles"
Bones was immediately able to spot the klingon agent with a medical scan.
This argues an identifiable klingon race, so there must be another explanation
for the klingons with funny heads. My guess? Well we all know what fashion
hounds klingons are, it's probably just the latest style from the trend setting
biosculpture studios in the klingon Paris equivalent! :-)
