Hey. So, I adore films that just make me squirm or really leave me with a sense of disturbance. You know, those awesome flicks that just mess you up in the head. I'm trying not to double up, although several directors on this list have more than one messed up film. What's your top ten? If you have more than 10 favorites, put those down too, I definitely have more than ten. I felt compelled to make out a list. In no particular order:
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover
Taxi Driver
Happiness
The Brood
A Clockwork Orange
Nil By Mouth
Salo
Eraserhead
Ichi the Killer
Night of the Living Dead(Original 1968 version! try and tell me that scene where the little girl kills her mother with the garden spade isn't freaky!)
Pink Flamingoes
The Piano Teacher
Blue Velvet
Henry: Portrait of A Serial Killer
Julien Donkey Boy
Battle Royale
The Wicker Man
Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS
The War Zone
Begotten
American History X
Kids
Irreversible
Night and Fog
Sick

I could go on, but let me know. And by the way, I know NOLD is an old Romero flick, but try and tell me that scene where the little girl kills her mother with the garden spade isn't freaky! Good luck.
Hope to hear from you soon and hear about all these crazy sicko movies I've been missing!

Damn, this is a good list! Thanks for posting it. I'm copying it right now. I haven't seen a lot of these.

"What did he want?"
"He said God sent him."
"What???"
"God sent him."
"On a *beep* Suzuki???"

[–] mantis-in-lace 19 years ago

You can add "The Re-Animator" flicks, "Frankenhooker", "Suspiria", and probably anything by Herschell Gordon-Lewis to this list. They're not extremely scary flicks, but they've got some good gore and they're fun for a Saturday night with the gang.

"What did he want?"
"He said God sent him."
"What???"
"God sent him."
"On a *beep* Suzuki???"

Awesome. This is the kind of list I've been looking for. I downloaded and watched the first Ilsa film last night, and boy was it ever a great piece of sleaze cinema. And OH MAN, what a rack that Dyanne Thorne has.

I would add The Exorcist and Going Places. The former is a great twisted movie and the later, in my opinion, is a crummy one. I walked out of it and that's something I rarely do.
