I really hope that's not a reference to "Two Men and a Hammer". Thanks to RB I watched that little gem right through to the end and was thoroughly sickened by it. If you haven't seen it, I would strongly advise NOT watching it. Seriously. It's not 'mind-bending' it's just depraved.

Ah interesting,. Thanks for the info re Mullholland drive.
Salo sounds worth watching, will get onto it.
A google search of "Frank Vogels Mordum" produced zero results?
Possibly censored ?
Really enjoyed the first half or so of that, but towards the end left me a bit deflated.
Is a bit of a mind fuck, but more in the politics/senselessness IMO and not crazy shit mindfuck.
I enjoyed it though, some fairly confronting sort of stuff in there.
Trainspotting also made me sit down and think, I reckon most movies that show that sort of hardcore injection stuff are pretty confronting to me. I've just started The Wire again and the scenes where Bubbles and co. are injecting really make me feel squeamish...

It's seriously disturbing, most people can't watch all of it. For me the thing that gets me is that it's so 'real'. Intellectually I know that it's all fabricated/staged etc (kind like the end scene of Salo), but while watching it, it just convincingly seems like some really sick shit that some sick f*&k filmed on a handicam... Low production values always get me...

He was definitely a ladies man. Couched in the thin cloak of documentary film making...

Found a list of the 15 most disturbing films.
http://www.popcrunch.com/the-15-most-disturbing-movies-ever-made/
Just watched "Hard Candy" which was on the list. It was a decent flick, Ellen Page delivers a stellar performance. Failed to deliver on the nail biting torture scenes. Was still tense. The ending was a little bit of a downer. Worth watching though.
Simply can't believe Ellen Page was 17 or 18 at the time it was made. She played a 14 year old girl who looked very convincingly that age

That's a different list to the one I saw, but there are some great films on there. Happiness and Irreversible are both incredible. If you thought Memento was confusing chronologically, Irreversible goes one step further. Once you figure out what's going on, it makes 'perfect' sense... Speaking of Gaspar Noe, his latest film Enter the Void features the most mind bending scene quite near the start and then the best ever "money shot" towards the end. The 3 hours or so in between is not to everyone's taste, but some people love it.
This is "The List":
10. Irreversible
09. Men Behind The Sun
08. Salo: 120 Days of Sodom
07. Ichi The Killer
06. Murder Set Pieces
05. Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood
04. Cannibal Holocaust
03. Cutting Moments (Short Film)
02. Aftermath (Short Film)
01. August Underground's Mordum

Trainspotting....and yes being Scottish is shite!
“Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?”

Fucking great film. I loved living and working in Scotland. The Scots definitely know how to live like there's no tomorrow.
PINT of Stella. mate!
Many, many Scotches
I've not seen it but from accounts of people who have, I think 'A Serbian Film' should probably be up there.
Snowtown as well I suppose...
nekromantik 2 wasn't too bad.
