Guardians of the Galaxy. I can't fathem why the whistling flying arrow bloke didn't just kill everything at the end. Mind blowingly stupid.

I saw the devil, is an excellent Korean horror crime flick. Any of the old David Cronenburg films will fuck you right in the brain.

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.

Yeah I likes GITS to, have been waiting for the sequel too long!


You are correct Salo is based on that book. When I saw Salo it was in a theater and half the people walked out, they couldn't hack it!

One from SBS last night, Big Man Japan. Was quite weird (and a little bit disturbing (wtf Smelly Monster)) all the way through, but if anyone can explain the final scene, you need locking up....

For messed up Japanese movies try Air Doll. Blow up doll comes to life and I'll leave it there.

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.

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)

American Psycho with Christian Bale is a good one too. But Majority have probably seen it already. If not, give it a watch.

Thanks for all the replies, going to be watching all these one by one

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.

There's a reason for that. Apparently Lynch developed the original script as a TV series and after shooting several scenes out of order (the way most things are shot) the funding was cut (probably due to the producers being too weirded out by it) and he decided to mash what he had together as a feature. So yeah, there's scenes and characters that make no sense whatsoever. Lynch said once in an interview that it's ridiculous how obsessed with plausible plot development and conventional narrative conclusions most viewers are. He likes to make a film that *doesn't* make sense.

Salo is twisted as all hell. I saw it at a cinema in Melbourne 2 days before it was officially banned in Australia. There was an 80% walk-out rate, which is a shame as the best bit was right at the end.

There's a list of the ten most twisted/disturbing/mind bending/f&^ked up films of all time and Salo comes in at number 10... Mordum, which I mentioned earlier, is number 1.

I don't think anybody has mentioned "Under the Skin". I thought "Lucy" was utter shite, but that's cos I saw it after Under the Skin.

Cloud Atlas is a travesty if you've read the book.
