Heavy movies

[psycho d]

Ah yeah, some of these sound great. i forgot about Edmund, Henry, and Natural Born Killers, they all deserve some thought, especially Edmund. Tetsuo was just a little too weird but a good call. Personally, i did not enjoy Salo and was all too happy to be done with it. It was well done and all, it just did not affect me one bit. Not a dig, just is. i guess just about all Miike flicks could be on this list, but i keep his stuff on a totally different mantle. Some of the others, like Maniac and Santa Sangre and Ebola Syndrome, are hard to track down (can't get'm on Netflix). Any chances that they might show up in a bargain bin somewhere? i am a broke ascetic and i'd rather get them on the cheap if possible. Thanks again for the recs. Ashe.

Kinda tough to get Santa Sangre. You just might get lucky and it might pop up in a bargain bin somewhere. The box set of Jodorowsky is your best bet.

Maniac and Henry, I think you can get em easily.

Does Ebola Syndrome have a US release (I'm assuming you;re American)

The Pusher series is worth a look especially the first and third film.

Romper Stomper oozes grit and has some unsettling scenes.

Bad Boy Bubby and Ex-Drummer deserve a mention although they perhaps fit into the black humour category...

Taxidermia was fucking cool also.

Yeah, that one deserves to be on the list for sure. Nick Cage's finest moment.

Taxi Driver. Was that mentioned?

Heavens, thank you for mentioning this one.
It definitely is challenging and bold.

The box set actually doesn't include Santa Sangre sadly, i found it online once however.

The Wrestler is a super heavy flick.

I can pull something new from it on almost every viewing.

I've only seen that one once but I need to give it another viewing soon.
