I just finished watching Requiem for a Dream (for the hundredth time). Darren Aronofsky needs a serious hug from his daddy.
What movies have you watched that fucked with your head so much that you were still thinking about it the next day?
Apocalypse Now. Woodstock. Bangladesh. Tommy. Heavy Metal. Mad Dogs and English Gentlemen, The sensualist, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, The Pearl, Altered States... It was not the movies... it was the level of intoxication of the experimental substances.
The one I posted about. "Mother!" It was twisted. I am crazy, so I completely understood it.
I have heard that and others said it was awful - I'm in a dilemma now....
I liked it. The husband was a demon or something.
Don't laugh but the first Paranormal Activity did. It's because I couldn't get past the thought that things were happening to me and around me while I was sleeping and totally vulnerable. I still have trouble falling asleep if I think about it before I go to bed!
A tie between Une Chien Andelou and L'Age D'or.
Requiem for a Dream. Fuck that movie.
Also, Mulholland Drive.
Donnie Darko will always have me feeling weird after watching it.. Too relatable.
Aside from that, Candyman freaked me out as a kid. Don't know what it was since I also watched Faces of Death as a kid.. But Candyman freaked me the fuck out.
Annihilation - it was just predictable enough to keep me constantly heading in the wrong direction.
'Sometimes a Great Notion' written by Ken Kesey. The opening dialogue on the first scene stayed glued in my memory after one reading: "Sometimes I feel like a lover, and sometimes I feel like a clown, And sometimes I get a great notion to jump in the river and drown". And that fit me perfectly at the time and still does.
Well aside from an easy answer like Eraserhead, the most recent was the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Did the Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand characters go though with the plan that they were going to collaborate on at the end of the movie? I still think that creepy character who they may or may not have decided to kill was the one who raped and killed her daughter.
