Thomas the Rhymer, good list! I love The King is Alive...and   most of the Dogme films I have seen.

Gilliam is a master; wonder what he's doing next?

Is that French Lancelot movie Lancelot du Lac by Bresson, by any chance? Funnily enough, John Waters loves that movie. I iunterviewed him once and somehow it came up and he said "Oh, it's wonderful! All those shoes!"


Gummo is on my top ten list...I do recommend seeing it on the big screen if you get a chance. I saw it that way half a dozen times, when the Harvard Film Archive decided to give it a "run" because no distributor in the USA would touch it...

Eraserhead, another good one...of course just about everything Lynch has done is extremely weird on some level.

Cannibal Holocaust is weird and upsetting, and has been credited with inspiring The Blair Witch Project (one of the greatest pieces of independent American cinema of the last decade and surely one of the best horror films ever made).

A good arty vampire flick that was supposed to be a blaxploitation flick: Ganga and Hess newly released on DVD after being unavailable in its intended form for many years...
