Last House On Dead End Street (aka The Cuckoo Clocks From Hell)

The entire movie was shot on a couple thousand dollars, most of which the director spent on drugs. Some people make snuff films and sell them to wealthy people, to score some more money for drugs,

Totally pretentious piece of crap. It's basically like watching two hours of stock video footage of daily living, bulldozers plowing land, clouds swooshing by, cars driving down a street, wild animals mating - all the while this obnoxious voice is yelling out "KOYAAAA-NA-KA-TSEEEEE!!!"... it's worse than a Radiohead DVD. Worse yet, they actually made sequels to it...

The cover was very promising, it said it was one of the BEST films ever made,so I rented it. I couldn´t even sit through a quarter of that boring, pretentious piece of crap.

I watched it in a humanities class in high school. I don't remember it well, though.

That used to be one of my favorite movies too. All of Peter Greenaway movies are extremely weird.

Belly of An Architect
The Pillow Book
Draughtsman's Contract

Someone on the org recommended IRREVIRSIBLE. It has to be one of the many disturbing movies I've ever seen. Some of the scenes are just crazy.

I too saw THE COOK, THE WIFE, THE THIEF AND HER LOVER. Yuck! But I enjoyed it.

At the time, early John Waters was very weird for me although I loved all his earlier movies.

Welllll....

It starts off like a love story, and you're thinking, "WTF, this is lame." Ehm, but then it turns messed up like Ichi. I found it enjoyable, at least.

I loved the AUDITION. You need to see OLDBOY and ICHI.

My dad brought home Frankenhooker one night for the whole family to watch.





Is this considered NSFW? I have no idea.



Classic, CLASSIC film.

Oh, and these as well:







Ok, this one I was older when it came out.

Saw this in the theater.

and I was traumatized for life by this Naked Lunch thing:




Along with just about every late 70s and 80s horror and slasher movie. I'd rent them all after school when my parents were working. They were all rated R, but no one ever said anything at the video store.

We have Ichi here at the house. I'll have to tell Alex there's one called Oldboy so's he can acquire it if he wants.

I love Boxing Helena!!!!!

I thought Patch Adams was the weirdest movie I've ever seen. I didn't understand it, and it gave me nightmares. Do people really watch movies like this? What kind of mind came up with a script like this?

Call me conservative, but I'll stick with my David Lynch and Matthew Barney movies, thanks. At least I know what I'm in for with them.

I saw the Reincarnation of Peter Proud with "Our Gang" - a group of childhood friends whom were all at least 4 years older than me, as well as with a unsuspecting adult. Soft porn and a topic I was too young at the time to understand. The ticket agent objected, but, I wanted to go tooooo...

Tears (in this case) to get a ticket into the film has got to be considered being sneaky, tA...lol

I forgot about that semen-filled glove compartment and something inscrutable in a dentist's chair and those potato chopping feet.

SHANNA said:

Oh my God. I haven't heard about that movie in a while. Really good movie. Have you ever seen AUDREY ROSE?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I missed that one, Miguel...but this weekend I shall rent and watch it.

I didn't see either of these movies at the cinema and I don't really regret seeing them, but I don't think viewing them did much for my mental health:

I agree Pasolini is weird.

Andrei Tarkovsky too is weird. but great!!
