Weird Old Movies

[Gearmond]

hokay gaiz, this thread is basically self explanitory.

I'm startig up a cult/art film series at the art department next semester, and I wanna know if you guys have any recommendations.

pretty much anything goes. I have all the standards; Jodorowsky, Tarkovsky, Bergman, etc. and a few treats (Saul Bass' only movie. thats right. the guy that did all the Bond opening sequences)

any recommendations, or just plain kooky movies you've seen?

Some Pier Paolo Pasolini films. If you're OK with nudity/sex/ricrazulousness, that is.

The Trial by Orson Welles

A strange story and I've always liked how the black and white imagery is almost in conflict with the story line about the guy not knowing what he did.

Harakiri

A good story of revenge from a strange starting point.

Suspira

I'm a sucker for Dario Argento movies, this one's my favorite.

I hope you're doing Hour of the Wolf by Bergman as well, and not just the Seventh Seal.

The invisible Man written in 1897 and made in 1933, the special efects are amazing, here in Chicago we have Facets it's teh biggest movie store in teh world they have a copy of everything, but no porn, sorry...

[proroby]

Suspira is fucking amazing. I love kung-fu/samurai movies so I'll recommend, although not really cult by definition: Shogun Assassin, 36th Chamber, Master Killer, Big Boss, Drunken Master, etc...
Also, I highly recommend OLDBOY[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLn1y9v6yno[/youtube]
and, Let The Right One In (the original)[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZJUgsZ56vQ[/youtube]

old boy
save the green planet!

they may not be old, but they are spectacular. korean movies are all so interesting, they cover like 4 genres in one movie. i don't want to spoil anything so just go watch them

old boy

I've probably confused this movie for something else..but...that name sounds familiar...
That's not that sort of legendary asian torture/horror movie is it?..

I've probably got the wrong movie in mind...thinking of one I saw in a countdown of the scariest movies of all time..

[Companda]

Old Boy isn't really scary. You may be thinking of "Audition". It's on all sorts of lists like that.

[ashdown]

i've never seen audition but i've read about it on lists like that as well
old boy is a beautiful mindfuck but not really heavy on the gore or anything, like audition is (i presume) known for

Well maybe not 'scary' but was thinking more 'gross'...for extremely graphic/realistic-looking violence and stuff
