Topic: Need recommendations for shocking, bizarre, disturbing films | |
---|---|
I'm always looking for more of these type of films that seem to "push the envelope".
Here is a list that I have seen and enjoyed. Lars Von Triers (Dogville and Manderlay) Dead Ringers Boxing Helena Requiem For A Dream Christiane F (also about herion addiction) The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (VERY messed up film) Scrapbook Julien Donkey Boy Bad Boy Bubby 21 Grams Love Is A ***** Addio zio Tom (Goodbye Uncle Tom) Edmond Feed Firecracker Freeway Todd Solondz's masterpieces (Welcome To The Dollhouse, Happiness, Storytelling, Palindromes) The King Mean Creek Neil Labute's (In The Company of Men and The Shape Of Things) In My Skin (another French film) Descent (the one with Rosario Dawson, not the horror film) Jan Svankmajer's (Alice, Little Otik, Conspirators Of Pleasure, and Lunacy) Tideland A Zed & Two Noughts Visitor Q |

What is the stalk market?
Oh, OP, I saw Deception this weekend... it is a bit mainstream but well done, I thought. |

HAHA! I actually own Pi and Kids. Kids was pretty messed up, I agree. Pi...weird, but not really disturbing. Good film though.
Saw Frontieres recently. Pretty weird. Not bad. Deception is one that I keep passing by at the video store. I'll give it a second look. Thanks everyone! |

Naked Lunch was a book first, and goes without saying the film version would most likely SUCK. I'd read the book instead, I did and rather enjoyed it.

It blew chunks of projectile vomit... The book was great. |

It blew chunks of projectile vomit... The book was great. Dune book != Dune movie Both were good in my opinion. Sometimes the director has to take artistic license with the material. Maybe you wouldn't like Naked Lunch the movie, but that doesn't mean it is SUCKS. Maybe it's GOOD or maybe it's OKAY. Personally, I didn't LIKE it. But it is still my brother's favorite movie and book, so I guess some people who have read the book and watched the movie like both. |
