An Andalusian Dog a.k.a. Un chien andalou (1929)--
When writing the script, Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali deliberately

pianos containing dead and rotting donkeys and live priests, a man's
hand has a hole in the palm from which ants emerge. (8/10)

The Killer--
Perhaps the best action movie ever made besides Hard-Boiled. The plot twists

spectacular theme that Woo is master at exploring in this film. (9/10)

Last House On The Left (1972)--

shocking and graphic, leaving nothing to the imagination. Banned in the
