SALO vs. Cannibal Holocaust

Which one do you prefer most?

For me itīs Deodatoīs Masterpiece every day in the week, SALO is pure junk imo.

If they got into a fight, Salo would rape Cannibal Holocaust into submission before it could skin any nearby reptiles, but otherwise I don't know.

Cannibal Holocaust! Salo was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. For a movie that has the reputation it does it was just plain bad. Cannibal Holocaust is not great work of genius, but it beats the pants off Salo.

yes, i know so much is so ordinary, so coarse, and so vulgar. but survival is simply not enough. nowhere near.
what's the point of surviving? survive what? don't you realize you're going to die? f*ck your missions, your crusade.
i demand and expect quality.

quality time.

Which do I prefer? Well, they're very different films. One is an exploitation film, much misunderstood by non-genre lovers. The other is a political art film - much misunderstood by genre lovers.

The trouble with Salo, imo, is that most of the people who seem to watch it are gore hounds looking for the nastiness. This robs the film of the very reason it was created.

I think both are important films. I hate to quote a cliche, but they're chalk and cheese....

I don't know about others, but I thought Salo was just bad, though I also though it was not as shocking as its made out to be. Nastiness, or the lack of, aside I didn't think it was a good movie. Honestly it just bored me. And it can't be just because I'm a gorehound because I like alot of arthouse movies and non-horror also.
