Audition - weird as fuck Japanese movie. The second half is a surreal nightmare. Really fucked up and amazing. You won't be able to turn away.
Buffalo '66 - Another weird ass movie. One of my favs ever. Vincent Gallo kidnaps Christina Ricci and forces her to pretend she is his girlfriend to impress his parents. He wants to kill a fictional Scott Norwood for losing the Super Bowl for the Bills.
Capturing the Friedmans - Amazing documentary. A father and his son are accused of molesting several young boys and the effect it has on the family. Basically evidence from both sides and it is just fascinating I don't know.
Glengarry Glen Ross - Amazing. Such a simple but amazinggggggg movie. The cast is incredible. Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin. Gil from the Simpsons is based on Jack Lemmon's character in this movie, and "A-B-C, always be closing" is from this one. Tremendousssss movie.
Lilja 4-ever - Most "powerful" movie I have ever seen. Fuckin made me cry. I have recommended this movie to like 5 people, and it made them all cry. Freakin crazy depressing movie. It is so good though. Impossible to not like this movie really.
Little Children - This came out a couple of years ago. SO GOOD. Just look it up, it's freakin great.
Open Your Eyes - A guy is real good looking, gets all the girls, etc. Then he breaks up with a girl but she goes crazy and drives off a bridge and his face gets horrible disfigured and everyone starts to hate him. Vanilla Sky was a remake of this. this is way better imo. Such a perfect movie. Like if I made this movie, I would be so proud of it.
Palindromes - A 13 year old girl is obsessed with having a baby but her parents make her get an abortion so she runs away from home. Her character is played by a bunch of different actors, including 13 year old girls, a boy, and a huge ass black woman.
Freaks - If you haven't seen this movie, you def have to watch it. 1932 film about circus sideshow freaks. It's like no other movie ever, really. Def must see.
The Man Who Wasn't There - Coen brothers movie starring Billy Bob Thornton. He is a barber who wants to start his own dry cleaning business but then everything systematically falls apart in his life. Doesn't sound great from the way I explain it but it's so bizarre and just the way the whole movie plays out is so perfect.
Dead Ringers - one of the weirdest movies I've seen. Not weird in a typical way either. Can't even describe it. Something about this fucking movie is like so eerie. The plot is this: Identical twin gynecologists... one of them is crazy confident and gets all the girls, and the other is extremely shy and quiet. The confident one gives the shy one his girls when he gets tired of them. They eventually both start to like this one actress they meet, but she is addicted to some pills and they both get addicted and just start going completely insane and I don't know. Can't even describe this movie.
