and....for truly fucked up Japanese movies - the Guinea pig series!

Peter Greenaway

I do hope I have spelled his last name correctly. This man is the director of 2 of the oddest (to say the least) films I have seen.

1. The Cook The Thief His Wife & Her Lover
2. The Baby Of Macon

Artsy, sometimes odd, often offensive, and perfect for this thread.

Frailty with Bill Paxton and Matthem MacConaghy was very disturbing....but not as much as the scenes from Irreversible....it lasted about 5 minutes in the theatres here..

Hershell Gordon Lewis' "Two Thousand Maniacs" rates pretty high on the demented scale and is generally recongized to be, along with his "Blood Feast", the first of the real gore or "splatter movies".

1. The Cook The Thief His Wife & Her Lover

That one and also the Jesus movie (I forget the name, the one by Smel Gibson where Jesus gets the living shit beat outa him), are real downers. Afterwards when I asked my friends if they wanted to "go for pepperoni pizza", they all said no. Must be the sight of all the blood.

I walked out halfway through "The Passion of the Christ"

I think Mel Gibson needs some serious psychological counseling and a good swift kick in the arse for starters

another fucked up movie is "GUMMO"

Happiness was great. Loved it. Didn't waste my money on TPOTC. Too many "the"s in the title. Why can't they have a Jesus' Tooltime Tips or Instant Winemaking?

Eraserhead was another one that stood out for me. It took a while to get into it (I've seen it a few times). I originally saw it in 1980. Elephant man subtly disturbing. Less obvious than the former.

Salo - the 101 nights of Sodom (Pasolini) alot of people hated that movie but I loved the dubbing into english and the scene where they have a wonderful banquet that's entirely made from shit was pretty hilarious. Such excellent table manners too.

Another film where half the audience walked out or were throwing stuff at the screen was Last Year in Marienbad. I really enjoyed it but didn't really enjoy Hiroshima, Mon Amour (also by Alain Resnais).

Chris Marker is another good director but I wouldn't class La Jetee or Sans Soleil as "demented" really.

However, the one that absolutely takes the cake is Raoul Ruiz' Three Crowns of the Sailor. That one, I couldn't begin to describe it. Mystery of the Stolen Painting is available on DVD and gives a little bit of the flavor of Ruiz' work but doesn't come close to matching Three Crowns. Unfortunately its very hard to see many of his movies but other classics include City of Pirates and The Penal Colony which unfortunately I've never been able to see. He also did quite a good version of Proust's Remeberance of Things Past called Time Regained. This is fairly normal but its also available on DVD.

Hmmm, Castaway (Nicholas Roeg) was quite intense but I watched it after ingesting a few brownies so it doesn't count.

BTW I saw they were selling Videodrome for $8 at Real Canadian Superstore (at least the Richmond one) they seemed to have quite a few of them left.

I'd have gone for the pizza

After watchin a good ass kickin' I always feel like food. Here's a good guy's movie, complete opposite of being a "demented movie."

HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBOROH MAN...

Actually I take that back most chicks would find that a demented movie Personally I like Mickey Rourke's sleazy Wild Orchid type rolls, he's my idol!

IMO Mel's still COOL, don't think he's racist... people can't say anything these days without someone else cryin' out bloody murder... everyone's got a fucken broomstick up their asses these days! Look at ALL his other movies... fucken loved every Lethal Weapon... did I think about race/religion... fuck I was there just to watch the action period!

Salo - the 101 nights of Sodom (Pasolini) alot of people hated that movie but I loved the dubbing into english and the scene where they have a wonderful banquet that's entirely made from shit was pretty hilarious. Such excellent table manners too.

I saw that one.... didn't think it was very demented. After all, the shit was so obviously fake. I thought that movie was boring. And to think Pasolini got assasinated because of it.... makes no sense to me. It was disappointing to say the least. I fastforwarded through 80% of it.

Angels and Insects is another strange and unsettling Greenaway film.

I actually walked out of the Theatre about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through The Cook The Thief His Wife & Her Lover - the movie was disturbing and strange, but what got me was the scene where the young boy was brutalized (and probably killed).

 

[badwolfcgy]

You mean the 'Jesus Chainsaw Massacre".

Mel's movie is disturbing.

 

[slickitysplit]

I'd vote for Natural Born Killers; disturbing and the stupidist I ever saw. Well, I didn't see the whole thing. It's the only movie I think I ever walked out of.

Leave it to the French

One of the most disgusting films of all times for me is "La Grande Bouffe" about a group of borgeois friends who eat themselves to death. They lock themselves up in this Paris mansion stuffed with every kind of food imaginable. Plenty of farting, shitting of the pants, belching, vomiting as they literarily eat themselves to oblivion. Great satire of the gastronomie de france.
Also at the VIFF in 2003 29 Palms by Bruno Dumont about this good looking couple driving around Joshua Tree who come across this crazy gang of rednecks-well it makes Deliverance seem mild. Seeing a young trendy guy get gang raped by tatoo heavies made by skin crawl. It came out just during the Iraqi invasion so I guess the theme was the idea of America sodimizing the world through it's power.
Great to see all these Pasolini freaks out there! Good to know you can be a pooner yet still be a lover of European cinema.

That movie was so fucking gay I laughed all the way through. Same old bad Hollywood diarrhea is all it was.

I enjoyed it, I guess it helped that I was stoned out of my gourd and all hopped up on goofballs

Thanks for the tip about "La Grande Bouffe".

Anybody watching (or reading) "The Decameron" would be more likely to rethink the hypocrisy of "normal" sexuality.

As for GBM's comment about Salo. I think the problem most people have with it is that they expect it to be entertaining because they paid money to see it. The point of it is that it is definitely not entertaining and you paid money to see it.

Pasolini was killed because he was openly gay and questioned the political hierarchy in Italy. He was probably better known in Italy as a writer than a filmmaker. I saw this film about his murder http://imdb.com/title/tt0114096/ a while ago. There was significant police misconduct in his case.

Audition is the off the hook painful to watch.

Another great candidate: the woodsmen vs David Suzuki

This is just a short for something from comedy central but its pretty funny:
