this movie scared the living shit out me when I was little. Seriously I had to sleep in a pillow fortress for years! And now that I watched it again it's no wonder - that shit is fucked up!

I can never think of what is really inspiring when I have to, but these are some of my favorite movies:
Festen (the Celebration)
Alien
Ghost in a shell
Pulp Ficiton

good call on Jacob's Ladder, that's an inspiring one for sure.

The Fountain is my number one inspiring movie, it was a big influence on a forthcoming EP :)

hahaha i watched that over the internet once.

first time i watched 'Holy Mountain' by Jodorowsky was :o very awe-inspiring visually

i enjoy Takashi Miike quite a lot, his film 'Ichi the Killer' never fails to blow my mind on many levels

the anime Akira throughout childhood was a big one

lots of 80's and 90's horror. i guess im just an 80's baby but i really find films like predator and the fly to be comforting in some weird way :P

but i think my favorite and most inspirational has gotta be 7 Samurai and Rashomon by Kurosawa. deeply moved by those for a while.

'Kids' by Harmony Korine has the realest dialogue of any film. dope movie

Deerhunter.....so many more
