MistAche Posted April 27, 2016 Not sure if this has been posted or not... doing this in the hopes of discovering must-watch films I may have missed over the years. Post cult films or directors of an underground nature, ones which had an effect on you and need to be seen. I'll start with a few... Gaspar Noé: Enter the Void I Stand Alone Irreversible Nicholas Refn: Valhalla Rising Only God Forgives Drive Bronson Pusher trilogy 0 Share this post Link to post
TheMightyHeracross Posted April 27, 2016 Does Darkman count? Sam Raimi isn't exactly underground, but I barely know anyone who's heard of this. EDIT: Also, Darren Aronofsky's Pi. 0 Share this post Link to post
raymoohawk Posted April 27, 2016 i really like the work of jodorowsky, specially holy mountain 0 Share this post Link to post
HorrorMovieRei Posted April 27, 2016 Have you heard of Jan Svankmajer? He does these great surrealist movies and uses a lot of stop motion animation in his films. I highly recommend his short movies too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kontra Kommando Posted April 27, 2016 I bought a 30 pack of exploitation films from grindhouse. However the only one that was any good was a 70s Italian exploitation film about about an all female-prisnor nazi concentration camp. It's called "Women's camp 119". It's sort of like "Ilsa She-wolf of the SS". 0 Share this post Link to post

Absolutely... anything goes mate, any film which has hit home. And thanks, haven't seen Darkman! looks classic. raymoohawk said:i really like the work of jodorowsky, specially holy mountain Great film... I found Jodorowsky through Nicholas Refn's 'Only God Forgives', which it's inspired by. HorrorMovieGuy said:Have you heard of Jan Svankmajer?

Will check it out tonight. 0 Share this post Link to post

kuchitsu Posted April 28, 2016 Hah, I watched Tetsuo when I was 15 years old, it was quite an experience. I also liked Bullet Ballet and Vital (just wow at that actress with long hair) by the same director. Jan Svankmajer is a cool guy. I loved "Neco z Alenky" (that Alice movie) and "Otesanek" was also very clever. "Sileni" was maybe too complicated for my taste, but it was still kinda interesting to watch I guess. For some reason I couldn't get into Darren Aronofsky's Pi. I watched it fully but it didn't make much of an impression on me. 0 Share this post Link to post
hex11 Posted April 28, 2016 This is one of my favorites, has some nice music and they even use an Amiga for the computer voice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayniggers_from_Outer_Space https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ncwCETyQlk I'm not sure that youtube link is right, but the whole movie should be on there, or easy enough to find. 0 Share this post Link to post
CARRiON Posted April 28, 2016 Hmm, cult films eh? Well, one of my all time favorite movies is Big Trouble in Little China. I also recently watched Fire & Ice and Heavy Metal 2000 again after not seeing it for YEARS. Do those count? 0 Share this post Link to post

Here is Big Trouble's since I forgot: Look at that fucking thing. It's beautiful. A work of art. Anyways if anybody hasn't seen this movie and they like Carpenter, action and b-movie cheese this is your bag. Oh and monkey demons. And six demon bags. 0 Share this post Link to post

I rather enjoyed Darkman, and liked seeing Raimi's take on a super hero film: something he did arguably better/or at least on par with his Spider-Man films. 0 Share this post Link to post

PsychoGoatee Posted April 29, 2016 Gotta love Conan. Also props to the Adventures of Ford Fairlane! Any fans of Manborg, and Astron 6 in general? And of course Troma, The Toxic Avenger etc. Also a shoutout to a couple of my favorite 80s cult films, Repo Man and Blue Velvet. 0 Share this post Link to post
RUSH Posted April 29, 2016 Also Fantastic Planet from 1973. What a mind fuck. An absolute classic though! Watch while high. It is so very very weird. Here's the trailer. Doubles as an unintentional comedy. The timing is just so random. Some of the weirdest stuff ever. It is a great movie though! 0 Share this post Link to post
raymoohawk Posted April 29, 2016 @rush oh man i adore that film! i first saw it as little kid on canal once, the only somewhat cultured chanel mexican broadcast tv had at the time. i remember the parents being disturbed and not wanting my sis and i to see it XD 0 Share this post Link to post

Tromaville, and most of its universe takes place in the area I grew up in (well, a fictional-depiction of it). Particularly, Bayonne, and Jersey City, NJ. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4O0LNYmaOczcSMHA_FE1Mw 0 Share this post Link to post
