Naked Lunch 1991, R)
Swanky, sweaty, surreal, and....sexy? Cronenberg's Naked Lunch has more in common, theme and plotwise, with Burrough's later cut-up "Nova Trilogy," though there's plenty for fans to catch. Guaranteed to profoundly disturb anyone unfamiliar with Burroughs, and quite nearly everyone who is. |

Tenshi no tamago (Angel's Egg)(Egg of God) 1985, Unrated)
The perfect movie. Slow, surreal, layered with meaning and possibly meaningless. Emotional and heartless, profound and horribly simplistic. Oshii's little mystery box is a present never unwrapped. |

Eraserhead 1977, R)
|
|
| 11 |
Zebraman 2004, PG-13)
Life changing, insightful, and dreadfully important. A brave film. It will haunt you for years to come. |
|
| 12 |
Kanashimi no Beradona (Belladonna of Sadness) 1973, Unrated)
Hypnotically beautiful imagery and sound accentuate what is essentially a very ugly story. |
|

Voices of a Distant Star 2002, Unrated)
Just looking at the cover makes me start to choke up. |
|

Survive Style 5+ 2004, Unrated)
What is your function?! |
|
| 16 |
Reazione a catena (A Bay of Blood) (Twitch of the Death Nerve) 1971, R)
Completely stunning. The lovers' ultimate fate is both heartbreaking and endearing in their will to go on, despite the knowledge that everything is over. Although overall very bleak, the ending spins everything around with uplifting redepmtion. |
|

|
| 24 |
Love and Death on Long Island 1997, PG-13)
Joh Hurt was given a sticker for his participation in this movie. It said "Most Awesome Human Being To Ever Exist." He still wears it. |

Just because. |

Parapsychologists and a psychic save the president from Dennis Quaid as a creepy snakeman. Or something like that. |
|

New Rose Hotel 1998, R)
I've seen this film like five times now, and I've never once been able to really pay attention to it. But William Gibson, Willem Defoe, Christopher Walken, Asia Argento and Yoshitaka Amano can't be wrong. |
|
| 32 |

I went into this thing with my eyes open and now I'm seeing nothin' but stars. |
