I see the frenchman here. And good choice, some are cult for me
Weikkonen
Stalker is one of my favourites. Very heavy to watch, but it delivers.
MasterofNoneSon
The hell with these, I'm watching Howard The Duck.
Machiep
Rubber only destroys a beautiful day because it's such a crap movie...
Esperanzoo
A list that isnt reused every single time? Finally.
Bahiano1993
If I had a dollar for every time requiem for a dream was in an imgur movie list, I could buy the powerball fortune
alejandromer
8mm is a copy of Alejandro Amenabar's "Tesis" and is a lot better! also, I haven't seen 99francs but the book is amazing!
sometimesidoterriblethings
The Seventh Continent. Watch a family destroy all their possessions and commit suicide (young child included).

Looking at the still from Angst and all I see is Theon Greyjoy

I actually legitimately thought it was Alfie Allen, until I saw the year it's dated and realized that was impossible.

La Haine!! +1 for that awesomeness.

TwoBitGreaser
Haven't seen Man Bites Dog in ages. Good film as I recall, somewhere between Natural Born Killers and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
spicepoet
It predates films that used parts of it's style. I remember walking from the theater thinking how much weight to use for each person I saw.
majephticme
Ans if you understand French, the Belgian accent makes it 10x better. Poolvoerde's acting is phenomenal, the movie's trivia worth checking!
mcolley73
I haven't seen it in 20+ years and one of the home invasions still troubles me for its realism.

I dont understand how Man Bites Dog is on this list. That movie doesnt destroy anything, its funny as hell as its supposed to be.

Ichi the Killer, one of the strangest movies I've seen in a while.
UrsaUrsa
If you liked it, try other Takashi Miike movies :)
whoeversmeltit
Maybe that's why it's one of my favorites. Ichi is whacky, unpredictable and has the same taste in clothing as the Joker.
CakeandCookies
I had one of my customers recommend it as it was his fave, after watching it I stopped talking to the dude. U got a screw loose to like that
Nemain
I expected it to be super dark and unbearable to watch. Instead it was just the cringiest thing ever
haddermeatmah
I made it through five minutes and my head got tingly. I'm usually ok with gore, but I couldn't get through this one.
TheLaserRaptor
The first five minutes are probably the worst
WhatFreshLunacyIsThis
La Haine is a fantastic movie. The rest of these look really interesting too.
shimmernshine
Man Bites Dog is one of the best mock-documentaries I've ever seen. It's brutal but absolutely hilarious at times.
WhatTheFrog
Especially since its plot is still valid today, hasn't changed much since then. Damn, that's a great movie!
UrsaUrsa
I've seen maybe half the movies from this list, and they're all interesting!

It's about a society that's on its way down.

Rubber, fan fucking static.(yes punctuation is correct)
LiterallyYourMom
I liked it but felt the 4th-wall-breaking segments brought it down. I got it the first time: The joke is it's a joke, the movie is a movie.
pdxstoner
I didn't care for it all to much. The idea behind it was just to far out.
bbirbb
The idea isn't an idea. It's an homage. To the art of no reason.
TheRealMikeyRamone
Yeah, which kinda breaks the point of what makes a movie or story interesting.
AFKogi
One of the top movies I recommend to new people I meet. Tells me quickly if we'll ever be friends of not.

Mr. Oizo is his dj name. Some of his music gives me anxiety, but I really love $tunt$ with flying lotus. Also, flying lotus makes cameos in
reallyaplatypus
I talked up Rubber so much to my SO. We finally watched it together and he's still upset over a year later. Needless to say, he hated it
CoffeeBaagel
Rubber is a really weird movie. I would try to explain it, but it's...I can'r.
ILoveYouAndYourComment
A lot of people are commending the movie... I absolutely disagree. It's pretty bad. Not because of the plot, its just really bad.
demodulated
It's a hilarious movie that breaks the fourth wall in crazy ways. Directed and scored by techno producer Mr. Oizo!
DrunkInRlyeh
I hated that movie, and I love terrible horror movies. It oozes masturbatory pretension.
MeganMeow
Surprisingly good for what it is
ComradePutinCCCP1917
Note to myself: watch "a homicidal car tire"
PTKrieg
Rubber isn't a horror movie; it's a indictment of the audience, accusing them of being the accomplices of every horror movie killer ever.

the tag line was "Are you tired of the expected?" I laughed my ass off
IFuckingLoveOtters
The intro is pure brilliance;

IFuckingLoveOtters
Try jurassic prey. Horrible acting, story that doesn't go anywhere, intro that has absolutely nothing to do with the movie. It's just so bad
lilmonkie
That was quite deep into this list.

I've grown tired of this whole conversation.
TejelPejel
This movie was recommended to me after watching Thankskilling: a movie about a murderous thanksgiving turkey that was resurrected.
CloudCider
i thought it was dreadfully boring
Iamwhatthefoxsays
I agree. I fell asleep 3 different times watching it.
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
Its one of the only films I enjoyed watching a second time
SnoodyQ
Extremely boring. First five minutes are entertaining. Would have been much better as a short film. A very very short film.
DrunkGermanGuy
So is this actually trash (in a funny way)? How fucking tripping must one be to think of a homicidal car tire?
MildTiger
It reminded me of an older movie with homicidal trucks/construction equipment.
goodjobmyfellowman
You made me go back with "You had me at "A homicidal car tire" "
BurzumStrider
I Stand Alone will destroy you.
odamanda
That movie is heavy to watch, probably the worst of the list, because it's showing human misery in a very naked, crude and powerful way.
BurzumStrider
It's very mechanically shot. There isn't much camera movement, so it feels really shocking. Not a movie to watch twice.
BurzumStrider
It's very mechanically shot. There isn't much camera movement, so it feels really shocking. Not a movie to watch twice.
knobbygnomes
It's the middle part of a trilogy that starts with Carné and ends with Irreversible. It's a fun time all round.
BurzumStrider
Yeah the butcher is in Irreversible, at the very beginning-end. Haven't seen Carne.
odamanda
Carne is a short story, it's the story being summed up at the beginning of I Stand Alone.

It's a great movie. Very very dark and full of subculture that I had never knew existed in real life.

What kind of subculture? Just like the underground shit where people like watching suffering and such?
trhopkins
[2/2] snuff, B&D , S&M, diapers, stepping on worms...etc.

[1/2] It takes you through the film underground the films that are available for a price while the two look for a missing girl.

You can find that all for free online these days. I saw a crush video of a chick stepping on a bunny with high heels. So sad.

Please kindly consider that a good thing.
zbaerenlovesme
Made me realize I am not phased by anything. I had a fucked up childhood.
Abominor
I am also not fazed by anything, but that's because I'm emotionally retarded. I had a satisfactory childhood.

same. Severely Fucked Up Childhood Survivors unite, and cower in the corner til the anxiety attack calms down
CaptainHughJass
More like light a cigarette and contemplate how I can make enough money that I don't have to worry about losing my home.
Vansauce
The people with -really- fucked up child hoods don't get anxiety attacks. They're just fucked up all the time and learn to function or die.
Diaphoni
and at what point do you get to think that our fucked up childhoods were alike or we'd react the same. Everyone's life is different.

IFUCKEVERYTHING
Stalker is awesome! Based of the 70s Russian scifi novel Roadside picnic. Which is an amazing book. Highly recommend both!
BurrRankShanks
I read the book. It was just ok. I felt like the whole thing was just the middle of a larger story. It needed more background.GoodEnding tho

Roadside Picnic is a delight
Vydrach
I love why it's called Roadside Picnic, too. Fantastic way of thinking and setting things up.
IFUCKEVERYTHING
That's my favorite part of the story. Just how insignificant we are
OldSwedishGrandma
It's the only title I've seen of the ones above, and I highly recommend it. It's one of those one-of-a-kind films, that's like no other one.
thatdoglookslikeafox
Part of the movie was filmed in the city center of Tallinn. The spot wasn't renovated until about 5 years ago. It's now a shopping district.
IFUCKEVERYTHING
That's really interesting! I'd it called the "shopping zone"?

the book is completely different. authors wrote different script for the movie.
