Saw Donny Darko with the wife. It's an interesting movie: it encourages us to doubt objectivity, reality, virtue, truth while also encouraging the audience to sympathize with a psychotic vandal, criminal, killer. 20+ years after the fact, I'll say Donny Darko is not so "DEEP" or world changing, especially relative to all the multiverse / timeline hopping stuff that became so trendy since its release, but it's still a fine movie to watch and enjoy for its general conceit... |

Moon (2009) is a good one. Guy goes up to the moon and finds something that he's not supposed to. |

I remember Noroi: The Curse being pretty good. Weird mockumentary/found footage kind of thing about this girl who's cursed by an ancient god or something, and there's this tinfoil hat schizo guy that helps them get out of it. They all die at the end, though |

>>6 this one's a classic. I'm so glad it was shot in black and white. Not a hipster, but black and white can be so kino. Don't you think Dr Strangelove (1964) would be so worse in color? I saw the new Godzilla Minus One in color then later saw the B+W one. that was somehow way better. |

El Topo is a good one - a psychedelic Western released in 1970. It's about a gunslinger in a nameless desert searching for enlightenment. The movie deals heavily in Western and Eastern spiritual symbolism and philosophy. A lot of bizarre occurences and characters - the movie at parts is very surreal and almost comedic and in others is dramatic or very violent. It's been watched by and has inspired a lot of creatives and in my opinion should be watched at least once by anybody who says they enjoy cinema. |
