Anthracks: Rec Weird Tasteful Movies

Anthracks 03.22.16	Pls help get me into movies
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	Mulholland Drive is a good place to start
HeckToPay 03.22.16	a serbian film
Trebor. 03.22.16	Blue Ruin. Nothing weird happens but it kind of has that vibe Pi Primer Magnolia The Comedy
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	Watch Filth, not a very well known film but pretty amazing.
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	Primer Brazil Upstream Colour
Deathconscious 03.22.16	Filth Mr. Nobody Nightcrawler
Trebor. 03.22.16	Fuck yeah Brazil
Idolatrous 03.22.16	The Man Who Feel to Earth. It's pretty similar to the movies you like and has David Bowie in the lead role.
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	Watch some of the YMS best of lists, there's some great films on there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju-AoeNlsaM
Avagantamos 03.22.16	adaptation
Royl123 03.22.16	Primer all the way!
Trebor. 03.22.16	Holy Mountain is exactly what you're looking for
ArsMoriendi 03.22.16	Watch Inland Empire, it's like Lynch tropes on steroids.
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	^ good luck trying to decipher that film, amazing though
Trebor. 03.22.16	fuck how could I forget my man Kauffman Synecdoche, New York an Anomalisa are 10/10 Adaptation is amazing too
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	Trance is pretty underrated, and while we're on the subject of my boy Danny watch Trainspotting and 28 Days Later if you haven't already.
EyesWideShut 03.22.16	Bad Boy Bubby Wake in Fright The Forbidden Room Upstream Color is caca
Deathconscious 03.22.16	Natural Born Killers The Signal (2007). Might seem like a generic slasher movie at first but give it a chance, its a pretty unique indie horror/thriller film. Oldboy
AnimalsAsSummit 03.22.16	Angel's Egg (1982)
ChoccyPhilly 03.22.16	Definitely check: A Field In England Waking Life
Deathconscious 03.22.16	Mind Game. Really weird japanese animated film.
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	Trick r Treat
Sinternet 03.22.16	The Wicker Man is pretty weird I guess
EyesWideShut 03.22.16	Yas Ben Wheatley films are a must Kill List and A Field in England
PumpBoffBag 03.22.16	few of my favorites Delicatessen - arty french comedy film Dancer In The Dark - contemporary musical with Bjork Melancholia - the end of the world has never looked so beautiful Werckmeister Harmonies - incredible movie, artful and dark The Baby Of Macon - extraordinary, but very upsetting/ heavy Stalker - Russian dark sci-fi, very contemplative
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	Dancer In The Dark if you feel like killing yourself
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	oh PumpBoffBag already mentioned it but yeah see it
PumpBoffBag 03.22.16	@EyesWideShut went to see Kill List in a tiny arts cinema in Scotland when it was released. Had to go get a drink afterwards just to calm down.
Tunaboy45 03.22.16	Enemy
ChoccyPhilly 03.23.16	Wouldnt call 28 days later or Trainspotting as that different. It feels about as different as a Tarantino film
porcupinetheater 03.23.16	Can't go wrong with any of the big Luis Buñuel pictures - although I'm particularly partial to That Obscure Object of Desire, Belle de Jour, and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie Brand Upon the Brain! Taxidermia Don't Look Now The Forbidden Room [2] Dead Man's Letters Daisies Cul-de-Sac Waltz with Bashir Weekend (the Godard one from '67) Possession (Zulawski, from '81) The Devils Pastoral: To Die in the Country A Field in England Holy Motors Death By Hanging
Tunaboy45 03.23.16	@Choccy they're not groundbreaking or anything, but they are extremely well made and well thought out films.
ChoccyPhilly 03.23.16	Fuck yeah, someone else who's seen A Field in England
Tunaboy45 03.23.16	Only thing that annoys me with 28DL is the poor camera quality they used to film it, it really shows when you watch the film.
ChoccyPhilly 03.23.16	@tuna agreed but I don't quite think it's what this guy is after given he said he'd rather not recs like Tarantino or Fight Club.
Tunaboy45 03.23.16	Ah fair enough then Have you seen Filth?
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	films by Tarkovsky, Visconti and Passolini should satisfy. David Lean made some interesting movies too. and yeah, porcupine already said but Luis Buñuel is a must.
Hyperion1001 03.23.16	altered states
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	altered states is brilliant. That, waking life and the holy mountain are my tripping out movies. also the truman show I find very intriguing
protokute 03.23.16	If you like animations, you should check The Secret of Kells, Paprika(crazy movie), The Triplets of Belleville and see all movies(really) from Hayao Miyazaki, but if you will see only one see Princess Mononoke
insanedrexl1 03.23.16	Eraserhead Oldboy Eyes Wide Shut Where The Wild Things Are
Deathconscious 03.23.16	Snowpiercer and in case you feel like watching some worthwhile comedy: shaun of the dead, hot fuzz, the worlds end, in bruges, its a disaster, kung fu hustle (sounds really dumb but its not), the guard, zombieland
Quake 03.23.16	Apocalypse Now
LotusFlower 03.23.16	Anomalisa
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	↑ saw this the other day, was very impressed
LotusFlower 03.23.16	yeah it was pretty dope, looking forward to the studio's next film.
Trebor. 03.23.16	"Only thing that annoys me with 28DL is the poor camera quality they used to film it, it really shows when you watch the film." lol it's on purpose dude
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	The Wicker man, Don't Look Now, The Innocents and 28 Days Later are probably the best horror films to come out of Britain
adr 03.23.16	Possession (Zulawski, from '81) [2] Barton Fink Being John Malkovich The Cremator 1969
dbizzles 03.23.16	Primer [153627] I'm here for the recs.
rufinthefury 03.23.16	Wizard, 1977 animated film. Absolutely phenomenal in every single way. If you haven't seen it you're missing out heavily.
porcupinetheater 03.23.16	Dude The Cremator is so good. Do you dig any of the other Czech New Wave stuff?
hikingmetalpunk 03.23.16	wild at heart the king of comedy the last temptation of christ north by northwest barry lyndon miller's crossing jacob's ladder blood simple alien se7en 12 monkey's the game insomnia angel heart after hours
rufinthefury 03.23.16	seconding Snowpiercer as well. loved it.
Deathconscious 03.23.16	Pan's Labyrinth. Surprised no one rec'd that one.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	trebor for a pretentious film snob with nothing to show for it you sure have entry level recs lemme tell ya
Anthracks 03.23.16	Oh boy. A lot to go through here. Gonna read through these and check a bunch of them out. Keep reccing stuff if it please you.
Deathconscious 03.23.16	The Interview. Lol just kidding.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	music-wise check A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, Wristcutters, and Jim Jarmusch's entire filmography starting with Dead Man.
Asdfp277 03.23.16	John Waters' Multiple Maniacs
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	@LP Gummo's interesting but Harmony Korine has yet to fully realize his potential imo. Spring Breakers was putrid. If you're after that uncomfortable, realist treatment on humans but with a little more story, Happiness by Todd Solondz is worth a watch. Super disturbing subject matter but shot through with this bizarre, pitch-black humour. It's pretty excellent
Anthracks 03.23.16	Also I've seen Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead, with Lost Highway and Inland Empire on my Netflix queue. I've also got Twin Peaks the complete mystery on Blu-Ray, but haven't sat down with it yet. Lynch is definitely my favorite filmmaker, it would seem if I had to pick one. Are his other movies even worth seeing (Elephant Man, that Disney one, Dune, etc.)?
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	Elephant Man is a definite yes, Dune is a big no-no
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	Lost Highway and Wild At Heart are Lynchs best movies so do those for sure Dune is worth a watch if you want a good laugh Elephant Man is definitely worth watching and I've never bothered with Straight Story
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	"@LP Gummo's interesting but Harmony Korine has yet to fully realize his potential imo." Gummo was his full potential.
wwf 03.23.16	I want to watch Holy Mountain really badly. The soundtrack on A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is pretty much the best part of the movie but I doubt Anthracks would like it because he doesn't like Tarantino. Pi, Blue Ruin and Trick r Treat suck a lot. Personally I'd recommend Paprika or Under the Skin.
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	Straight Story's good but it doesn't feel as Lynchian as his other movies. Not sure if that's a good enough reason to deride it, but it feels like a film that someone else could have made just as competently. defo worth a watch though
zaruyache 03.23.16	"A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" the really flat, black humor in this film was fantastic. +recommend
Deathconscious 03.23.16	The Room. Maybe not the kind of weird youre looking for, but its an essential "so bad its interesting holy shit theyre actually serious" piece of film history.
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	@Lorde I'd say Kids is his peak achievement in storytelling, even if he only wrote it. I attended a Q&A sesh with him after a screening of Spring Breakers and he's a legitimately fascinating dude, full of ideas. Gummo just sort of wallows in the repulsion/ raw existence aesthetic but with no real purpose. He could produce something just as hard-hitting but much more watchable, I'm sure.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	yeah Holy Mountain is absurd. Good watch. "The soundtrack on A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is pretty much the best part of the movie but I doubt Anthracks would like it because he doesn't like Tarantino." the fuck does A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night have to do with Tarantino lol also the Room is quintessential lol "@Lorde I'd say Kids is his peak achievement in storytelling, even if he only wrote it." true. i was speaking director credits purely.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	ken park was awesome too but he just did the screenplay
TheBarber 03.23.16	Night On The Galactic Railroad by Sugii (beautiful animation flick set in an esperanto universe, very moody and dreamy) Alice by Svankmajer ("A surrealistic revision of Alice in Wonderland.", also the scariest version I know) Kings Of The Road by Wenders (classic roadtrip masterpiece and pure friendship born from silence) Eureka by Aoyama (another roadtrip masterpiece directly inspired by Daydream Nation and with a gargantuan scope, although hard to find and watch and 4 hours long, it's well worth every minute) The Return by Zvyagintsev (Mysterious with an entrancing soundtrack) Underground by Kusturica (the yougoslav weird war epic to rule them all) Also missing documentaries itt The Act Of Killing (Retired executionners making fun of their glory days by reenacting their murders whilst dressing up) Lost, Lost, Lost (a loser in new york during the 70's films everything and makes his life a compelling and punk diary) Route One USA (the ghost road gets a bleak face) RIP A Remix Manifesto (viva copyright disrespect) Gods, Gambling And LSD (looking for psychedelic life everywhere except in drug) Sans Soleil (THE best documentary experience ever) Le Joli Mai (happy times in happy paris) Blank City (no wave bs) The Great Happiness Space (japanese male gigolos talking about their life getting paid by hookers and rich gals to be entertained, surprisingly deep) The Bomb (can britain withstand the A bomb? fiction documentary)
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	"true. i was speaking director credits purely ken park was awesome too but he just did the screenplay" yeah, up to now I'd have to agree. ken park was alright too
wwf 03.23.16	the wacky comical genre bending reminded me a lot of tarantino and the director is a known fan of his work so ya
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	Alice was great "the wacky comical genre bending reminded me a lot of tarantino and the director is a known fan of his work so ya" yeah i dont see anything tarantino about that film tbh
TheBarber 03.23.16	Girl Walks Home Alone is totaly Jarmusch inspired
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	yeah i got approximately 4000x more of a Jarmusch vibe than a Tarantino vibe but then again 4000 times 0 is 0.... so let me rephrase, girl walks home is totally jarmusch inspired and totally not tarantino-esque
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	Girl Walks Home Alone is totaly Jarmusch inspired [2]
tempest-- 03.23.16	Birdman is the greatest piece of art ever made.
Titan 03.23.16	so awful
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	nah Birdman was cool. Brought out some unexpected acting chops in the leads and was pretty compelling considering it didn't really give you a reason to keep watching.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	titan probably thinks cast away is the pinnacle of film history
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	and yes birdman is great
Titan 03.23.16	saw the whole thing.......after 4 attempts
TheBarber 03.23.16	Birdman deserves it's love yeah although Revenant is a dissapointing piece of shit
EyesWideShut 03.23.16	You guys gotta quit sleepin on The Forbidden Room, came out last year and was a complete trip.. not even sure i liked all of it but visually i never seen anything like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwKvz-wA3I0
TheBarber 03.23.16	Also speaking of Jarmusch, are there any Permanent Vacation fans around here?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	@eyeswideshut i cant tell if that looks awesome or terrible tbh
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	Revanent looks absolutely gorgeous but it doesn't have enough nuance to justify its style imo. It was ok, wouldn't go any further than that. Leo should've won his oscar for Wolfie. You want to talk trve dogshit movies, let's discuss Grand Budapest Hotel...
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	and yes, Permanent Vacation is dope
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	Grand Budapest Hotel was good but not even close to my fav Anderson i doubt i will ever watch Revanent
Yep321 03.23.16	Clean Shaven
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	I hate Anderson, too quirky for his own good. Although Fantastic Mr. Fox isn't completely terrible...
EyesWideShut 03.23.16	@Lordepots i thought it was both haha its worth a watch for the visuals alone but if your looking for a "plot" its not it.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	nah anderson is great. "To be honest I'm still in denial that Harmony actually directed Spring Breakers... it's just bizarre that the man who made Gummo and the bane of Kids directed Spring Breakers" i dunno dude Spring Breakers is pretty Harmony Korine i mean have you seen M. Lonely?
Yep321 03.23.16	Sombre
EyesWideShut 03.23.16	Spring Breakers a cult clossic tho.. those girls and Gucci Mane were too potent.
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	In my life, Spring Breakers has become that movie that gets put on in the background of house parties after everyone crashes in from the club at 4am completely frazzled.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.23.16	Spring Breakers rules yes
Sinternet 03.23.16	Bad Boy Bubby [2] disturbing subject matter but it's got that human touch that makes it really unique and interesting A couple of other recs: Dogtooth The City of Lost Children I guess Withnail & I kinda fits this bill as well, strongly recommend it if you haven't seen it before
EyesWideShut 03.23.16	What about The Lobster that dropped last year.. Same greek dude who made Dogtooth.
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	Oh shit, forgot about Dogtooth. Very interesting movie, straddles a fine line between artful and pretentious. I dig City Of Lost Children is a good watch too
TheBarber 03.23.16	Grand Budapest is just kinda unengaging, story is a tad weak I really wanna see spring breakers :3
wwf 03.23.16	'saw the whole thing.......after 4 attempts' whoa cast away isn't that bad
TheBarber 03.23.16	Castaway On The Moon is a million times better agreed
EyesWideShut 03.23.16	John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness yo
Yep321 03.23.16	The Skin I live In
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	a million times yes. Almodovar is based
organizedsound 03.23.16	I'm no expert, and my taste definitely reeks of wannabe film snob 101. That being said, check these directors/films that I've been into lately. All bizarre in some way, if not necessarily Lynchian (keep in mind Blue Velvet is one of my favorite films): Bergman (check Persona first) Fellini (really only check post-8&1/2...earlier work is considered classic but drags imo) House (Japanese camp-horror) WR: Mysteries of The Organism Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures and Normal Love (plotless, grainy, gorgeous, campy, queer) Godard (2 or 3 Things I know About Her, Masculin Feminin) Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (I know you're an oM fan....this is necessary! bizzaro surrealist camp) Dasies (another pick based off of your oM love...playful Czech camp that has a noticeable influence on oM's visual aesthetic; it was even cited as an influence on the Bassem Sabry video. Really fun!)
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	early Fellini drags imo.... disgusting.
YetAnotherBrick 03.23.16	idk if anyone has said this yet but "Me and You and Everyone We Know," written and directed by and starring Miranda July, is very weird and very wonderful
YetAnotherBrick 03.23.16	also Dogtooth [2]
organizedsound 03.23.16	I enjoy it, I just don't connect to it the way I do 8 1/2, Amarcord, Juliet, etc.
PumpBoffBag 03.23.16	only joking dude ;) Daisies too, good pick
organizedsound 03.23.16	Like I said, I know it's considered classic by most experts, and I totally see why. But if Anthracks is coming into this fresh out of Blue Velvet, I can't see La Dolce Vita being a particularly gripping entryway.
organizedsound 03.23.16	all good! I LOVE Dasies. I really need to check out more Chytylova...
pissbore 03.23.16	eXistenZ
Deathconscious 03.23.16	anyone seen the trailer for The Nice Guys?
Yotimi 03.23.16	The Holy Mountain for sure
DamnVanne 03.23.16	A Serbian film She's so lovely Bug Madagascar Gay niggers from outer space
Calc 03.23.16	Enter the Void.
Kman418 03.23.16	60s/70s bergman is the only thing thats effected me the same way lynch does, especially hour of the wolf and persona i just saw vampyr the other night which was very lynchy too, super super cool it captures a really incredible atmosphere for its time period. i haven't seen anything else dreyer's done but im pretty inclined to now
porcupinetheater 03.23.16	Interesting pairing Bergman and Lynch, always thought they were near polar opposites (interior vs. exterior of the psyche)
Riviere 03.23.16	Aguirre, The Wrath of God Meshes of the Afternoon (big influence on Lynch) Santa Sangre The Rules of Attraction Invocation of My Demon Brother The Skin I Live In Cosmopolis
Zig 03.23.16	There's one film so wierd so ambigous that no one understands what the fuck is going on, however, is one of best films I've ever seen: Last Year in Marienbad, by Alain Resnais.
JohnnyoftheWell 03.24.16	Machotaildrop Bianca Red Wood Pigeon 8 1/2
dbizzles 03.24.16	House of Sand and Fog
protokute 03.24.16	Picnic at Hanging Rock
PumpBoffBag 03.24.16	ugh house of sand and fog was one of the most underwhelming films I've ever seen
TheBarber 03.24.16	Second round of recs eh? Marketa Lazarova by Vlacil: dark middleage poem and spiritual yet ultra chaotic Epic that I kinda see as a Andrei Rublev's younger and drunker scruffy brother. Air Doll by Koreeda: the story of a rubber sex doll slowly coming to life and discovering the joy and loneliness of being human Lawrence Anyways by Dolan: quebec odyssey (viva!?) of a couple struggling to stay together whilst the man transitions to female; the scope of this flick is massive with a story that takes place during a period of 10 years during the 90's (the vibes of said decade is everywhere from the soundtrack to the impressionistic colors dripping from the frames like fog), a blast to look at and listen. Plus all these feels...
Brabiz 03.24.16	Oh god Blue Velvet is a masterpiece
dbizzles 03.24.16	'ugh house of sand and fog was one of the most underwhelming films I've ever seen' I haven't seen it since it was released, I just remember it having a real weird vibe. Ever read the book?
PumpBoffBag 03.24.16	can't say I have. I watched the film a few years back working my way through an imdb list. I just remember feeling very switched off by the story, so I never bothered with the book. Bit of a weak reason, I know, but still, never felt compelled to read it.
dbizzles 03.24.16	Nah, makes sense. I don't think I've ever seen a movie I didn't like and thought, 'Hey, let's read the book now.' I was only 15 when the movie came out, so I probably thought it was a lot deeper (or whatever) than it was/is.
Vetimus 03.30.16	The angels melancholy, beautiful.
Parallels 03.30.16	definately gummo
AnimalsAsSummit 03.30.16	Also Warner Herzog filmog, specifically Aguirre
TheBarber 03.30.16	His non fiction work is way cooler though, stuff like Happy People A Year In The Taiga is legit badass from front to back
Rice303 03.30.16	Drive Millennium Actress Natural Born Killers Jacob's Ladder [2] Requiem For A Dream Maybe not what you're looking for (Polarizing movies) The Fountain Only God Forgives 25th Hour Elephant Under The Skin
grannypantys 03.30.16	filth [4] what we do in the shadows Stu is so hot right now dark city the wicker man (nick cage version) "get away from the bike!!"
protokute 03.31.16	I watched The Wicker Man because of you, thanks. Awesome movie,funny, witty and very atmospheric
ZippaThaRippa 03.31.16	Not the BEES
TheCrocodile 03.31.16	even dwarfs started small
Shuyin 03.31.16	Tetsuo The Iron Man A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) City of Life and Death Memento Oldboy (the original, not the shitty remake) Gattaca Dark City Spiral "Uzumaki" Bedevilled Lebanon Donnie Darko Kairo Sleep Tight Phobia 2
p4p 03.31.16	Perfect Blue Akira The Lives of Others Sunset Blvd The Town Persepolis Ghost in the Shell The Talented Mr. Ripley
CrazyDiamond7 09.27.16	Belladonna of Sadness Great soundtrack as well.
