Brazil by Terry Guilliam
Brazil (which takes place "Somewhere in the 20th Century") recounts the story of Sam Lowry, a low-level government employee who is conflicted about his role in an overreaching bureaucracy. We learn that he is initially happy with his "dead end job" and simple life, and that he habitually escapes into a fantasy world of romantic struggles. His contented but lonely life becomes complicated by his mother's attempts to secure him a promotion, the intrusion of a renegade heating engineer, and the real-life appearance of the woman of his dreams.

The Number 23 with jim carrey
9/11 2001, 9+11+2+1= 23, JFK was killed on November 22, 1963 2+2=4 and 1+9+6+3=19 and 19+4= 23, Caesar was stabbed 23 times, and so on so forth.

Whether you think it's a coincidence or not it's still pretty cool and Joel Schumacher's the Number 23 wouldn't have been half as interesting without his knowledge.

The film follows Walter (Jim Carey) as his life starts to be consumed paranoia as he claims the number 23 is haunting him. He comes to this conclusion whilst reading a book, the Number 23 which he draws parallels with the main character's upbringing and his own childhood. The only problem being, said main character a detective Fingerling kills his lovely girlfriend. As everything in the book already mirrors Walters past, why shouldn't it mirror his future also? Worried that he'll kill his wife, Walter attempts to track down the author before it's too late.

- "Un chien andalou" in 1929. An experimental, surrealist film made by surrealist artists Luis Brunel and Salvador Dali. It consists of seventeen minutes of bizarre and surreal images that may or may not mean anything. A straight razor seems to cut a woman's eye, a small cloud formation obscures the moon, a cow's eye is slit open, a woman pokes at a severed hand in the street with his cane, a man drags two grand pianos containing dead and rotting donkeys and live priests, and a man's hand has a hole in the palm from which ants emerge. Very weird.
- "The Smell of Burning Ants" another avant-garde, experimental film in 1994 by Jay Rosenblatt. Its a look at a young boy's coming of age. It shows a young boy's circumcision, kids burning ants with a magnifying glass, a scorpion surrounded by a ring of fire killing itslef by stinging itself in the back, and dialogue like, "they called him a queer, they called him a fag." Weird, very weird.
- other than avant-garde, experimental, and surrealist films typically only seen in film classes, the 1998 film HAPPINESS by Todd Solondz.
When a young woman (Jane Adams) rejects her current overweight suitor (a brilliant turn by Jon Lovitz) in a restaurant, he unexpectedly places a curse on her. The film then moves on to her sisters. One is a happily married woman (Louisi Lasser) with a psychiatrist husband (Dylan Baker) and three kids. Unfortunately the husband develops an unnatural fascination for his 11 year old son's male classmates, fantasizes about mass killing in a park, and masturbates to teen magazines. One of his patients (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) has an unrequited fascination for the third sister (Lara Flynn Boyle). Meanwhile the apparently stable 40 year marriage of the sister's parents suddenly unravels when he decides he has had enough and wants to live a hermit's life in Florida. Obviously, the whole movie is slightly warped in its viewpoint and certainly presents abnormal relationships among all of its parties. Very weird.

Tie between Eraserhead and Naked Lunch.
I would love to share the plot of Eraserhead but...I wouldn't know where to start.

Naked Lunch is based on the novel by William S. Burroughs. If you ever have a wild desire to ingest a bug killer that you are using in your extermination business... just step away from the poison~

Holy cow the stuff I watched in college!

Mirrormask replaced into particularly extraordinary even though it replaced into particularly notably artistically on the same time! It replaced into approximately this woman whose kin replaced into component of a circus and then her mom have been given ill and she or he had to pass into her wall and get a key and she or he is going into this insane worldwide the place in simple terms not something is sensible. that is kinda like a undesirable acid holiday. No actual thank you to describe it.
