The handmaiden is the best thing I've ever seen. It's the one movie I demand all my friends watch with me without any context whatsoever so I can vicariously experience watching it for the first time.

"Possession" (1981) is an absolute classic and definite must-see. Isabelle Adjani is simply amazing. In an interview, she admitted that her role in the film messed her up in the head...

Paprika is legitimately my favorite movie and I am so happy to see someone else talk about it! I love everything by that director as well- especially Tokyo Godfathers when I feel like a good cry. If I may tentatively add Naked Lunch to this list- it vibes with a lot of the weirdness on this list. There’s a typewriter shaped like a beetle that orgasms when you type on it. Fun!

This list is absolutely perfect and dreamy, and no, I totes didn't swoon over seeing Ginger Snaps and Videodrome get a shout out since it doesn't get much love these days.

I don't think it's a coincidence that most of my favorite movies are on this list. Can't wait to spend the next god knows how long reliving all my trauma with these gorgeous films

I would describe Mandy as both an anime and like someone’s modern D&D LARPing session that got turned into a movie

I come back to this video whenever I have a bad day. It’s one of my favorites. Thanks for making this

SO glad Satoshi Kon movies made the list. Paprika is my favorite and that one for sure has GREAT rewatch potential, since I know I had to watch it like 5 times before I understood what was going on, but I loved it after the first

This was suddenly in my recommendations and Don not regret sitting though through, real choice movies in this, Thanks. hopefully this is enough to ride out the quarantine

Thank you for the cheer-up love! Can't wait to see the hard mode list even though a third of these titles would probably curb my appetite already. I started my quarantine with The Conjuring series and now I'm crushing hard on Vera Farmiga. :/ Good luck & my best wishes to all of my immunocompromised comrades!

Great list! Thank you, its just nice to hear from my fave youtuber in this trying time. If I may, 'In Fabric' is a very distracting movie about a haunted dress and it will make you feel some ways.

Thank you so much for this! I watched your video and the way you explain each movie has motivated me to watch a few - So far, I've watched these movies because of this list: -Videodrome -Santa Sangre -Altered States -Mulholland Drive I think I'm going to watch Susperia next! :D

First time watching your channel! Im very into film and filmmaking and i think your video was well put together and is a great list, love your energy you brought to the video, subscription earned

Phantom of the Paradise and Society are probably among my top 10 fav movies so I'm very happy to see them ever getting representation.

I needed this, thank you :)

I feel like you just reviewed all the highlights from my DVD and Blu-ray collection. I don't think I've ever felt so validated. Which is weird, but I'm here for it x

dang I’m trying to finish up school work in the next week but after that, this will be added to my quarantine bucket list!!

i mean admittedly i probably wont watch most of these BUT this list did make me rewatch ginger snaps after like forever and and i still love it so thank you.

The ending was the best part!! Thank you for making this!

Phantom of the Paradise continues to be a bizarre favorite of mine. I Still can't put my finger on why I keep coming back to it.

- One day, I was in a Wal Mart looking for Bone Tomahawk, and I asked an employee where it was on the shelves. He warned me it gets gruesome. I said, "I know what I'm about, son." That said, I was rather disappointed with it. - Nyyyyyxxxx you used a clip from the Candyman sequel AND ruined the scariest moment from Mulholland Drive. - Speaking of Ken Russell, I recommend Whore, if you can find it. It's so bad... but also really good. But bad. But good.

It's nice to see Alucarda getting some recognition, a national masterpiece of horror! Greetings fro Mexico btw

ur taste in movies is breathtaking

I haven't watched you for a while hun still love your videos x

I wish this list went on forever. Thank you for this.

Wow, our tastes are scarily similar. Almost all I've seen multiple times (especially Suspiria, Roar, Brazil, Perfect Blue, etc) and are in my top own personal top 50. The only ones that I love that are not in this list are The Thing, World of Tomorrow, and Princess Mononoke. Honestly with everything stressful going, now is the time for a Ghibli marathon. Most of them are very healing for the soul (except for GotF that one's a liiiiitle heavy right now)

Love this. Can’t wait for the sequel. Bring on the quarantine content, quantent?

I'm so glad you included Return of the Living Dead, the zombie movie that is ostensibly a comedy, yet somehow even bleaker than Day of the Dead. (Plus Linnea Quigley as Trash is an icon, we fully stan)

I can't believe Raw didn't make this list, it seems to fit in well with your taste in films. I would also like to mention a few of my favorites, Pi, Requiem for a Dream, Primer, Ichi the Killer, Audition, The Congress. Too many to list, but these are timeless.

I just came across your channell and I already love it! So many new titles to explore, thanks a lot. There is one more movie that I think might suit this list - Singapure Sling. Have you seen it? Xxx

She's absolutely adorable. How come this channel doesn't have more subs?!?

Anime annnd Nicolas Cage? I need to see Mandy immediately. Plus, Serial Mom is one of my all time favorites! Great video😁

I was with you, so with you. Like 90% of these movies I already own and need to rewatch. But then you told me to put on pants. I REFUSE!

What. A. Mood. As it's both break and I'm inside all day everyday, I'm down to watch some of these.

I've seen most of these! I feel so cool!

So glad to see Perfect Blue on here! It's by far one of my TOP favorite movies. Also Paprika! All of Satoshi Kon's works are gold imo :")

Really enjoyed the list, Nyx!
