..it's like when sex becomes a degrading farce..

Super Vixens is on that level as well...ridiculously endowed/completely insatiable females who get murder worthy mad at your inability to have 20 thousand - hour and a half long orgasms...

...and they are everywhere

i like 70's - 80's dystopian movies with hand drawn special effects, crystals, bad makeup, badly done robots and cheap explosions.

Fantastic Planet is a classic...sountrack is all 70's synth weirdness..

Fellini "Satyricon"...must have been mentioned before. Film is ludicrous but has great atmos and visuals.

Strictly not a giallo movie but if you enjoy argento and fulci, this is kind of similar. Makes "Caligula" look like fuckin Bambi. Fellini's a pretentious tosser of the highest order, but this is well worth a viewing.

Amazing tune born out of that movie too.

This isnt REALLY weird, but its a documentary with no clear cut point or narrative and its made by the brilliant Adam Curtis

Happiness is a fucking wicked film. Saw it when I was 16 when it first came out, I laughed and laughed. Philip Seymour Hoffman put in the performance of a lifetime "is your pussy all wet?", pure genius. Loved the way you kind of felt sorry for the paedo dad. At least I certainly did.

That movie is so damn confusing. I assume you're talking about the recurring part where they walk into the mansion?

Stay is relatively modern and at times kind of cheesy but I think most of you in this thread would enjoy it.

stay is amazing.

if you are into jodorowsky, check out a Sweet Movie.
also visitor Q

other decent miike films: happineess of the katakuris, gozu, zebraman, bird people of china

watch Save the Green Planet. it is essential.

maybe try some weird italian shit like Phantom of Liberty. maybe Salo if you aren't squeemish.

the monkees movie, Head is very psychedelic

also watch Point Blank

Miike is great, Visitor Q is my favourite film of his. Such a funny film.

and Funky Forest (very cronenberg)

when i first saw this movie it had elaborate translations with footnotes about the literary references the characters were making.

when it came out on dvd, the translation was dumbed down a lot. might be part of why you got confused

Deliverance

Sweet Movie was excellent ...

but I had serious problems getting into Visitor Q - the last Lynch movie Inland Empire was also way too difficult for me to deal with..

Here a good strange one - Intacto..is a movie about gambling but only you win peoples luck..as if it is a charm that can be exchanged..and stolen
