Yeah that’s entirely too true. Take away Clockwork Orange’s “shock” factor and it’s just a dumb movie with awful synthesized classical music and stupid stylish montage scenes. Plus Malcolm Mcdowell is the WORST. Sort of like how people in the US will listen to shock jocks every day for years. Somehow the shock value never wears off to some people and eventually they classify it as good instead of just novelty. ---

Cannibal Holocaust - Dumb Clockwork Orange - Meh Requiem for a Dream - Also meh Donnie Darko - Good Fear and Loathing - Good Pulp Fiction - Some funny lines, otherwise horrible Trainspotting - Good (Better than Requiem) American Psycho - Fantastic So many movies just don’t live up to the hype. Others transcend it. ---

Others transcend it. What do these movies have in common exactly? Cannibal Holocaust isn’t considered good by any means - it’s considered GRUESOME in that all the animal deaths portrayed are real. Agreed about pulpfiction. But Donnie Darko? C’mon, you’re not 16. And the list of 50 best dystopian movies is so silly. Ghost in the Shell but no JINROH: Wolf Brigade? Pleasantville and Starship Troopers is on the list but not The Omega Man? Those two aren’t even dystopian… And Matrix makes top 10? :picard: There’s only like 75 dystopian movies ever made but there’s at least 8-10 on that list that aren’t EVEN DYSTOPIAN, haha. ---

Somehow the shock value never wears off to some people and eventually they classify it as good instead of just novelty. I’m reading through Chuck Palahniuk’s books and it’s the same story. Super fucked up. The only reason I’m reading them is more or less conversation pieces. Not that well written but so fucked up you’ve got to read it so you can talk about it. ---

Check out Jacob’s Ladder, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Children of Men. That should wet your whistle for a wide spectrum of high quality original movies. :tup: ---
