Plenty of great movies there, and nice to see some love for The Brood. Which Solaris?

Great list!

One of these things is not like the others.

Tarkovsy from the spelling.

Nice list, lots of good stuff mentioned

The Brood is a great movie IMHO. I think of it as the one Cronenberg made the bridge between body and mind in a complete way.

Solyaris, the original.

Ed Tv is very much like 1984 but not on a political level. I find it to strike at our voyeur side while dehumanizing the object of the audiences focus.

In this regard it says a lot, IMHO.

Naked Lunch is not one you see often mentioned. I never realized talking anus was something I would have ever seen.

Then you should watch "Society" [1989] for a real treat

Naked Lunch is amazing movie from an amazing book.

The Ninth Gate in particular is an incredibly underrated film, and my favorite of Polanski's.

We turned off "Naked Lunch" after 15 minutes I think... Oh well. I can always watch a documentary in the future if I run out of docs.

I hope this is in a "so bad it's good' kind of way.

Saw these three listed in a row, and now my best friend is a little devil!

Totally. Have your read Club Dumas?

hehe. It's a very special kind of movie to be truthful. But damn worth it.

Yeah kind of. Caligula is a very interesting historical figure. And the fact that the movie has a lot of porn while Peter O'Toole and Malcolm McDowell are walking about doing their acting makes it exquisite.

Caligula is an interesting historical figure, sure, but the "movie" is trash. It's entertaining in a train wreck kind of way, but that's all.

it can be quite trashy yes {what would one expect from porn movie makers?], still there wouldn't be any easy way on doing a Caligula movie without what made him so infamous. Turning the Senate into a brothel while getting a boner for his own sister is not exactly fitting for children to watch.
