Akira, a personal favorite of mine, is a bit 'out there' at the end.
Salo is just messed up the whole way through!!
Akira for sure! Ghost in the Shell too. There is a sequel out for ghost in the shell as well.
I think Salo is supposed to be based on the Marquis de Sade's The 120 days of Sodom, so straight away, it's a good bet that the movie will be creepy and fucked up.
Modern Japanese cinema is like Japanese food, most of it is unpalatable to Western tastes. Even their porn leaves you feeling confused and violated.......so I've been told.For messed up Japanese movies try Air Doll. Blow up doll comes to life and I'll leave it there.
The sad thing is Bad Boy Bubby has a better story ark than most modern triple A releases. If you can look past the crazy shit inbetween, great film even if he does fuck his mum.
Christ, kid, you're a weirdo.
if the poison doesn't get you, God will.
Donnie Darko is pretty good.
Both are a bit hollywood, but Momento is worth a look and Fight Club, if you've been living on another planet and missed it.
Sling Blade
Billy Bob Thornton at his best
The film won a couple of oscars (not that they are a good recommendation always)
Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade.
I studied on killing you. Studied on it quite a bit. But I reckon there ain't no need for it if all you're gonna do is sit there in that chair.

The Matrix is always good, but nowadays, it doesn't seem to be as much of a mind bend as what it used to be.
Mullholand drive I was thoroughly enjoying, until a bit after halfway, the movie just lost the plot. It became confusing as f*ck and I had no idea what was going on.
