- DirectorTobe HooperStarsMarilyn BurnsEdwin NealAllen DanzigerFive friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.One of my favorite Horror films of all time. The cinematography and camera work along with Gunnar Hansen's excellent performance makes this film work tremendously.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesAlex DeLarge and his droogs barbarize in a decaying near-future.Definently my favorite Stanley Kubrick Film. Many things are done well in this film.
- DirectorMichael CiminoStarsRobert De NiroChristopher WalkenJohn CazaleAn in-depth examination of the ways in which the Vietnam War impacts and disrupts the lives of several friends in a small steel mill town in Pennsylvania.De Niro, Christopher Walker, could it get any better! It's not just a good film, it's the bomb of great controversial classics.
- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsRobert KermanFrancesca CiardiPerry PirkanenDuring a rescue mission into the Amazon rainforest, a professor stumbles across lost film shot by a missing documentary crew.I love everything in this film except for the animal killings that were'nt needed. Despite having shit being pulled on it's back all these years, Cannibal Holocaust deserves more credit than happy hands. Liek TCM, the cinematograpy is at good use, recordings are done well and many scenes are shot well.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsMichael DouglasSharon StoneGeorge DzundzaA violent police detective investigates a brutal murder that might involve a manipulative and seductive novelist.Sharon Stone pulls off a very spicy, sexy performance as the evil, cunning Catherine. Many great psycholical elements too.
- DirectorJohn McNaughtonStarsMichael RookerTracy ArnoldTom TowlesArriving in Chicago, Henry moves in with ex-con acquaintance Otis and starts schooling him in the ways of the serial killer.As well as a horror film, in all film history this has to be one of the most sickest, "keep you up at night time" films ever. No wonder it was so controversial. Many themes are strong in this film.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsMyriem RousselThierry RodePhilippe LacosteA college student gets pregnant without having intercourse, affecting people close and unrelated to her in different ways.A moving and emotional classic controversial film. The actress who plays as Mary is very moving and makes it moving for me.
- DirectorCarlos CarreraStarsGael García BernalAna Claudia TalancónSancho GraciaPolitics and sexual passions threaten to corrupt a young, newly-ordained priest in a small Mexican town.A great tale about fate and destiny. This isn't just a classic tale of love and tragedy, it's more than what people think it is.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEllen SandweissRichard DeManincorFive friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons.Bloody, gory, and well made. Sam Raimi should be proud of his excellent work.
- DirectorJörg ButtgereitStarsBernd Daktari LorenzBeatrice ManowskiHarald LundtA street sweeper who cleans up after grisly accidents brings home a full corpse for him and his wife to enjoy sexually, but is dismayed to see that his wife prefers the corpse over him.Disturbing, out there and weird. This film has a few flaws but has some things going well for it. It's an old stye film which will break any rule in the book.
- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.An over-rated classic that isn't one of my favorite horror films, but... truly a respectable one.
- DirectorRon ClementsJohn MuskerStarsScott WeingerRobin WilliamsLinda LarkinA kind-hearted street urchin and a power-hungry Grand Vizier vie for a magic lamp that has the power to make their deepest wishes come true.I know this isn't rude or anything but when i saw it on the Controversial films list and I decided to add it in. Not one of my favorite Disney films but very watchable and fun as Robin Williams pulls off a comedic and heart warming Genie.
- DirectorMeir ZarchiStarsCamille KeatonEron TaborRichard PaceAn aspiring writer is repeatedly assaulted, humiliated, and left for dead by four men she systematically hunts down to seek revenge.I found myself with myh hands covered over my eyes. It's enjoyable and it's one of those films you have to look at with a clear mind.
- DirectorMel GibsonStarsJim CaviezelMonica BellucciMaia MorgensternDepicts the final twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem.I haven't seen this in a long time but from what I remember it's very graphic, daunting and at times hard to watch.
- DirectorTrey ParkerStarsTrey ParkerMatt StoneMary Kay BergmanWhen Stan Marsh and his friends go see an R-rated movie, they start cursing and their parents think that Canada is to blame.Haven't seen this in a while either but funny as hell.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsSandra PeabodyLucy GranthamDavid HessTwo teenage girls heading to a rock concert for one's birthday try to score marijuana in the city, where they are kidnapped and brutalized by a gang of psychopathic convicts.Another hard Controversial film to watch and out of Wes Craven's films this is my least favorite. Not a bad film but certainly not the biggest fan of it. Too shocking!
- DirectorTom SixStarsDieter LaserWinter WilliamsAshlynn YennieA mad scientist kidnaps and mutilates a trio of tourists in order to reassemble them into a human centipede, created by stitching their mouths to each others' rectums.I hate this film. I can descibe it as a lazy, gross, waste of time, low life, dysfuctional and very distasteful film. One of the worse horror films I have ever seen. This film did nothing for me and as I kept watching it, it just kept getting lamer and more boring.
