Posting stuff from my own collection.
An over the top, absurd punk comedy that takes a hard swing at middle class conformity. The characters externalize what they usually keep inside; their fears, insecurities, obsessions and kinks. When material possessions fail to heal that, they must be destroyed.

Years before Caligula was made; Nagisa Oshima managed to get himself and his cast in trouble with this explicit masterpiece. It ventures where Pinku films dare not go, but offers an artistic experience on top of the nudity and gore.

A documentary about a man who ate too much pie...

Drenched in shadows and beautifully filmed; it's a true cinema classic that transcends its genre. The Criterion release comes with a nice booklet which contains the Carmilla story too. You don't get that with streaming.

Military grade lurid cinematic insanity. The last ten minutes are pure mayhem; with a catwoman ghost dishing out vengeance. You haven't seen such a good showdown in a sento since you fought E.Honda in Street Fighter II.

I decided to finally tackle this 200 minute arthouse mammoth. It's repetitive, ritualistic and quiet; and it's like that on purpose. That's what makes it art. That's what makes it interesting to watch. Delphine Seyrig is gorgeous, even when she's not playing a sexy vampire.

A surprisingly endearing movie for Ozu, about two little boys who refuse to speak until they get a TV. There's also another silent movie by Ozu, hidden in the special features, so don't miss it.

Summer Glau signed this for me a long time ago. The fading ink says "come with me if you want to live".

This show was excellent and probably the best Terminator stuff since Judgment Day. None of the later sequels were that engaging.

Wow, this is amazing. A very faithful adaptation and very well made for what it is. This modern low budget silent film was mostly shot in someone's backyard and features stop motion, cyclopean sets reminiscent of German expressionism and decent photography.

The second volume only contains 20 minute shorts, but they're very funny. The restorations are excellent. Unless you've seen these in the theater 90 years ago, you haven't seen them like this. "Dirty Work" is one of my favorite things they ever did.

You might expect a supernatural monster movie of sorts, based on the title; but it's actually a revenge movie closer to Ms. 45, Thriller or I Spit on Your Grave. Around the 1 hour mark the blood fountains start and the last 15 minutes are a total escalation.

This was on sale, and I already bought Batman Beyond (on sale), so...

I remember seeing my first episode of this on circa 1992(?) and it was so dark and edgy for a kids show in the middle of the day. I can't even convey that to the younger crowd.

This set of two short stop motion films is amazing. The longer is some sort of claymation cosmic horror; where some entity metamorphosizes people and then harvests their hearts. The short is about greedy sisters who morph into gecko crestures. It's wild.

Hidden within a protective acrylic case on top of one of the movie shelves rests one of the grails of my collection. Blade Runner, signed by Harrison Ford on the set of 2049. Sorry for the reflection; I didn't want to remove it.

I built mine a few years ago. I loved it.

A wonderful movie for people who have uncomfortable family relations; aka everybody. It builds up nicely and has a very good pace. One of my favorite purchases out of last week's haul.

R.I.P. Udo Kier. He was amazing. Such a presence.
