What's the most neurotic movie you've ever seen? |
|
Barring pretty much all Woody Allen films, I'd have to go with "Punch Drunk Love." That film made me really nervous, which I am sure was the iuntention.

2. Amen to "Happiness". I'd throw in "Welcome to the Dollhouse" as well. |

4. It was a compelling movie. |
|
But I'm not sure I want to sit through it again. Pretty harrowing.

6. "Happiness" is a difficult movie to sit through. |
|
It has the most chilling portrait of a pedophile I've ever seen. Very unsettling.

Also Neil LaBute's "In the Company of Men" and "Your Friends and Neighbors."

10. Definitely 'In the Company of Men' |
|
for a less harrowing take on neurotic, there's always the entire output of Hal Hartley.

11. The last scene of "Company" |
|
is one of the biggest mind-fucks in cinematic history.
Funny thing is, LaBute is a devout Mormon. I guess he gets all his evil urges out in his scripts. :evilgrin:

3. Also Mulholland Dr., or anything else by Lynch. |
|
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" unnerved me quite a bit as well. Fabulous film, though.

15. When Bobby-Peru's Shotgun Misfired... |
|
it was oddly funny, but in a twisted perverse sick kind of way... the kind of way that makes you feel bad about yourself for finding humor in it in the first place.
-- Allen
PS: My dog barks some. Mentally you picture my dog, but I have not told you the type of dog which I have. Perhaps you even picture Toto, from "The Wizard of Oz." But I warn you, my dog is always with me. WOOF!

5. All of Woody Allen's.... aside from that I agree on Punch Drunk Love |
|
I despise Adam Sandler, so why I even watched the hour of it I did is beyond me... irritating as hell.

14. Since you've eliminated the obvious... |
|
I would have to give my vote to anything by David Lynch.
