@limebar Toys, 1992, directed by Barry Levinson, with Robin Williams & Joan Cusack.
American culture's distaste for earnestness and whimsy led to a deeply unfair response to this film. The level of surrealism was also probably turned up past most people's tolerance.

@limebar I was about to edit the above to indicate (as requested) *why* I recommend it, but I see that I already mentioned whimsy, surrealism, Williams, and Cusack, which feels like enough of a sales job.

@limebar Harold and Maude (1971). Everyone needs to think about the inevitability of death, and the inevitability of living.

@limebar I would suggest you find a copy with a decent resolution. The cinematography is quite exceptional for the time.

@limebar Eat the Rich: 1987 flawed political collision of sketch comedians, Motorhead and cannibalism starring Lanah Pelay (of Pistol in my Pocket). It's all nauseatingly relevant, and amazing.

@Lime Bar Tarkovsky's movie version oft Stanislav Lems book Solaris.
It's amazingly teaching for the way cameras were telling a story by image, instead oft actors telling you what to - or how you should understand what to - see.
For the necessity of enough time in scenes, so not needing sped up editing, which would only usually cover up a lack of content.
For a whole other planet diving into the human psyche, digging out the buried, wordless, haunting and fascinating at the same time.
Amazing movie - while Soderberghs later version of Solaris isn't bad, but operates just too quick and formatted for such mind blowing content. -

@limebar this thread is my jam. I’m going to nominate Robert Wise’s 1963 The Haunting - Wise understood way before anyone else that horror in the viewer’s imagination is always going to be scarier than anything you can put on screen. This idea was later perfected by Michael Hanneke with Funny Games - a truly horrific movie with absolutely no on-screen violence, originally released on video in the UK with a PG rating because it didn’t cross any of the BBFC’s guidelines.

@limebar "Colossus: The Forbin Project" (1970) these days feels more prescient than ever....
(and I love the idea of it all coming from all those tape drives and valves and oscilloscopes locked away inside a radiation-proofed mountain)
Is it weird? Not sure...
(Weird soundtrack has to go to the Barron's "electronic tonalities" for Forbidden Planet of course. A true masterpiece in my view)
