If you think any of these movies are graphic you've lived a very sheltered life. 🙄🤣🤣🤣

I got lucky and caught Naked Lunch in the theater when it first came out. William S. Borroughs (the author of the book the movie is based on), Hunter Thompson and that circle were having a moment back then in the early 90s as independent cinema was becoming more well known in the main stream. It was hilarious to pick out who in the audience knew what they were in for and who didn't. It came out on the heels of Silence of the Lambs and people were hungry for more movies that pushed boundaries 🤣

I guess how we define “graphic” is subjective

If Scarlett Johansson tried to pick me up in a van, it'd send off a million red flags. But then I'd tell my brain to shut up.

The 1996 “Crash” belongs on the list. The one with James Spader & Holly Hunter. Too many films named Crash, btw. Also a Cronenberg film.

Always good to start the video with a lovely little closeup of that tight round stuff!

Eating Raoul is one of my all time favorite weird cult off beat flicks of all time. Unlike so many other flicks this one still manages to be a good fun watch after so many years! Glad to see it getting some love.

Many thanks for sharing this FLICK CONNECTION with us Darren. Great to see Blood Simple as your #1. Much appreciated 👍👍👍

“ you wouldn’t like me when I’m Ang Lee”

Great list and thank you for what you do!!

Always a good watch, thanks mate !

Thanks Darren. I need to finish Under the Silver Lake.

That's actually a very good list of very good movies. Good job mate.

The Ice Storm is great. Nice to see it being recommended🥰.

I caught Under the Silver Lake on Kanopy... it blew me away. Must re-watch that one!

Opened up the big screen for our wall last night and watched Boy Kills World. Great fun, a few rough patches but otherwise really fun

this review turned out way above my expectations. hats off, Darren

I love crank . I get the weirdest looks when people hear my ringtone. 😂

Never saw Blood Simple, I think I will check it out later thanks for the recommendations as always

Under the Silver Lake is an absolutely underrated gem.

Criterion has done a release of 'Eating Raoul'. To many that's all you really need to know. Sure I had a great mom but she took me to see 'Eating Raoul' for a rewatch after she saw it but she didn't take me to see 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High'. If you want to use that as an 'extreme' meter of sorts. 'Films you may not Want to Watch With Grandma' would be my title for this selection of movies.

I remember when this came out. It was playing here in Baltimore at a few little art house type spots and I was around 8 and the title alone had my 8 yr old mind so intrigued. I never did see it but I will now!!

"The Ice Storm" is one of the best art house films from the late 90s.

Under the silver lake is awesome. One of my favorites.

My dear fellow another great vid with some Steller films. I must thank you from the bottom of my heart. Just awhile ago I was thinking about Under the Silver Lake. I saw it years ago and loved it, but I could not remember the darn name. I was frantic looking on the internet etc to find it, but no luck., but now thanks to you I have it and it is written down and stored in a safe place. Keep on keeping on.

I love "under the silver lake". I read some reviews when I watched it and I think a lot of people don't like it because they take it too seriously. They try to find meaning in every action that every character takes. I just rolled with the absurdity and had a great time.

The Ice Storm though! I watched this movie many moons ago and that ENDING. Damn.😩🌹

Well I'm 1/3 into Don Jon and now I get it. Thanks

This is one of the most exciting lists from you in my opinion. Nothing to do with your work, because i think its awesome, however im a super weird creative and i like these type of films. Ive seen and love leaving las Vegas Thanks bro.

After watching "Naked Lunch" I remembered what somebody once said that to make a faithful adaptation of this wild book: " You would need a budget of $400 million and it would banned in every country in the world"

Cronenberg is special, not every director has their own universe in Rick and Morty.

Great stuff, hadn't heard of Eating Raoul

my favorites in this list are don Jon, blood simple and crank 2.

Nicolas Cage actually won the best actor Oscar for his role in Leaving Las Vegas..

Awesome list man! Subscribing to your email list now!

Naked Lunch and The Ice Storm are based on novels that are much wilder.

finally a good list

I'd forgotten about Eating Raoul - it's a blast! Personally, I hated the Crank movies and, as for the rest, I've never watched any of them. I'll have to see if Amazon lets me watch them. Thanks Darren.

“Group sex and cannibalism”….2 words never thought I’d hear together 😂

I'm under 3 minutes into the video. The Ice Storm deserves to be higher on the list.

I didn't expect to like a movie like Don Jon, but ended up thinking it was terrific!

Darren, you missed the oh-so-important fact that Naked Lunch received the release it did and is of particular note because it's an adaptation of the famed Beat writer William S. Burrough's novel of the same name.

Great list as always.

KUDOS to adding Under the Silver Lake!! That movie is hugely underrated!! The first time I watched it, I started a second viewing of immediately after it ended!

Eating Raoul! Used to be on USA Up All Night allll the time haha

Thank you very much...

I love your movie reviews. Your channel is the only movie review channel I watch and I am a subscriber. Take that, algorithm so nyah!!

a few good movies but give me a break. "Extremely Graphic". more like run of the mill R

Blood Simple was AMAZING!

you and i have VERY different ideas of what is considered graphic. lol. Some good picks, though.

Heartbreakers...what? There is nothing graphic about that movie.

Blood Simple is just such a fantastic movie. The soundtrack, as always, is also fantastic.

Not sure how I missed Under the Silver Lake, I'm definitely gonna check it out. But I cant help think is the title click bait? am I desensitized? Or is this video made to be toned down as the world that we are in now people get offended over practically nothing. Not sure but none of these movies to me are even close to being "Extremely Graphic", strange or weird maybe but not graphic. Anyways not intentionally trying to criticize but just made me rethink my perspective on what is considered graphic or not. Anyways my takeaway from this is to watch Under the Silver Lake as I haven't watched it so I guess i have gotten something out of it.

CRANK1/2 are really insane movies, i LOVE IT!!!

Blood Simple for sure since I absolutely love the other two mentioned.

I first saw Naked Lunch when I was a kid, after that I forgot about it but would sometimes think about it and try to describe it to people and they had no idea wth I was talking about, so I thought I just imagined it until my stepdad played it one day and I was so happy bc I knew it was a real movie and bc I got to watch it again being older and fell in love with it. 😊 Anyways Naked Lunch is a weird/trippy movie

Crank & Crank 2 are just absolute "turn off your brain and enjoy the thrill ride" MONSTERS of cinema! Still need to get around to "Naked Lunch" (Wasn't there a reference to it in the 'Simpsons' by the kids at some point?) I only watch "Leaving Las Vegas" when I'm feeling a similar vibe and half-way through a bender - Yet somehow it works to bring me back just enough to go on.

Not a big graphic film guy, but I've seen "Crank 2," "Don Jon," "Heartbreakers," and "Leaving Las Vegas!". . . Maybe I AM?! 😄

Leaving Las Vegas is a beautiful sad love story and one of my all time favorites. When you said Nic Cage, I thought you were gonna say Wild At Heart; I’m glad it was this one though, because it’s so tragic & authentic. I LOVE this film even though it breaks my heart every time I watch it.💔💔💔

"Graphic movie" puts a pg-13 movie

Darren, your lists are always top notch, but the click bait thumbnails and titles are getting a little worrisome.

Nailed it as usual. Blood Simple is remarkable. Naked Lunch is a trip. So is Under the Skin.

Any discounts for July 4th on shirts?

Under the silver lake is my favorite movie in years. I wish there were similar movies that came close to the symbolism in this movie

Some good picks. LLV was great but so depressing. Also really enjoyed the Crank series

Thx again for the great review Darren! I am checking out your shop now and these are some killer designs!! Can't wait to show them off!!!

I watched Under The Silver Lake a couple years ago and uh I wasn't sure I liked it... I kinda didn't but then I kept thinkin about the movie. I told my wife about it, had her watch it with me and yeah that time I really liked it. I kinda love the movie haha and I've seen it like 4 times now.

I bought the album Tigerlilly (Natalie Merchant) the same night I saw Leaving Las Vegas, and to this day, the song San Andreas gives me flashbacks to the depression I felt after seeing the movie.

Been awhile but Ice Storm’s not about group sex, it’s a swingers key party right?

"I'm the host with the most, and I'm warm as toast."

Most of these selections make me question what you think “graphic” is

Naked Lunch is out there, William S. Burroughs wrote the book and based many of the stories on is drug experiences. Insects are a big theme so fair warning.

The Ice Storm is an amazing movie. It's like a late 70's American Beauty.

Leaving Las Vegas is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Great list! Seen them all. The only one I didn't like was Under The Skin, it just didn't work for me at all. Read the book after, much better, they should have stuck to that story!

Eating Raoul was Funny I remember seeing this movie way way back into the 1980s when he came out

Darren, you are the man. Eating Raoul was my favorite movie for a long time, I found it by mistake years ago. Paul Bartel has another crazy one you should watch, Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills. It went out there in so many messed up ways. I have seen almost all of these movies and there were only two that I couldn't watch, Naked Lunch and Under the Skin. Naked Lunch was just a bit too far out there, Under the Skin was just too much. Don't get me wrong, Scarlett was amazing, I just couldn't do this movie. Leaving Las Vegas was perhaps one of the greatest movies in the past 30 years. Keep up the great work.

thx

This is one of the most exciting lists from you in my opinion. Nothing to do with your work, because i think its awesome, however im a super weird creative and i like these type of films. Thanks bro.

These are the movies we use to watch late night on cinemax back in the 90s. Lol

Was that Eddie McClurg(sp)? The woman who played Lucille Tarlek on WKRP in Cincinatti?

I miss the cinema before DEI.

I apparently lived my whole life without seeingLeaving Las Vegas.’ I somehow conflated this film with ‘Raising Arizona.’ Damn, what a dark movie! Thanks for the recommendation!

Requiem for a Dream should be on here

Blood Simple is amazing. I love Eating Raoul even though I know it's not a good movie!

camp 3 of 5 noun (2) 1: something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing. "Eating Raoul" was classic camp.

The Ice Storm is one of the three most depressing films I've ever seen, but really well done. Once was enough for me.

I really loved the strangers chapter one is so hard horror thriller movie see it

Nicholas Cage is finally going to beat his performance in "Leaving Las Vegas" with Longlegs. His role and acting in that is Oscar-worthy and seemingly the best of his career to date.

Pink Flamingo rubbed me the wrong way. Everyone should look it up

Is it a surprise that Naked Lunch was drempt up in Morocco by William Burroughs? Pretty much high on Heroin or Morphine the whole time.

Eating Raoul: Dose Janeway know Chakotay was in this ?

I'm sad we never got a Crank 3. I think Crank and Crank 2 are just great overall films!

Re: Naked Lunch, you could easily do a whole video like this about Cronenberg’s filmography.

Crank 2: High Voltage is hilarious!

You do the best movie reviews - love them. I'm Old - started in the 50's as a Kid when we went to Real Movie Theaters. I was a fan of Nik Cage from the beginning. So when I saw him in Leaving Las Vegas I was telling all my Friends He is going to Win the Oscar for Best Actor. But I turned negative on the Oscars starting in 1993 When Al Pacino got Best Actor. I guess Hollywood did not want Clint Eastwood to have a sweep that night with Unforgiven. I actually thought Robert Downy Jr. was going to get it for Chaplin - He looked and acted like Chaplin reincarnated.I Read that the Studio was not interested in Downy but He dressed up to look like Chaplin walked into their offices - put on a Chaplin routine and was hired on the spot. Downy should have gotten that Oscar. And with what's going on with woke Hollywood/Oscars I have not watched for 5 years and "Completely" forgot about them being on this Year(2024) until Monday morning news !!!

I've seen all the movies on the list except "Under the Silver Lake". Concerning "Eating Raoul", it is one of the funniest movies ever made. Lightning in a bottle.

I really liked Under the Silver Lake

I'd highly recommend shutting the movie off when the ice storm starts to happen. Yeah, the movie was one long series of unfortunate events, but that part just seemed designed to bum you out.
