I would love to see “Gummo” get a Criterion release, a Korine movie would be nice. Svankmajer’s “Alice” or even “Faust” would be nice additions. I would love it if “The Brood” got the Criterion treatment as far as Cronenberg is concerned. Dave Borthwick’s “The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb” would be an amazing addition to the collection. Something by Ralph Bakshi would also be amazing, perhaps “Wizards”. A Criterion issue of “Blue Velvet” would make me cry with joy. Im still baffled by the fact that “Fellini Satyricon” is not in the collection. Im also surprised that there are no Dogme certified films. “The Celebration” would be a nice choice in this respect. Herzog’s “My Best Fiend” would be great. I would love it if “Synechdoche” made it onto Criterion. “Come and See” is one of the most beautiful films ever conceived. Lastly “The City of Lost Children” could benefit greatly from a Criterion release.
Some others that would also be great would be…
1)Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
2)Dead Alive
3)Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker
4)Santa Sangre
5)The Holy Mountain
6)Anything by Haneke, “Time of The Wolf” in particular
7)Lunacy
8)In The Bedroom
9)Perfect Blue
10)Le Dernier Combat aka last battle

the reason there is “ultra-realism” in “Cannibal Holocaust” is because most of the animals are actually being slaughtered. Cannibal Holocaust is as scary as watching any documentary on slaughter houses or one of the “Faces of Death” movies. Its pointless, cruel, gross-out stuff. I will say that “The Blair Witch Project” borrows its basic premise from this flick. If your into animal cruelty than this is for you. I
Here are my answers to this question in 3 different categories
1) Most Violent (Realistic violence)- Irreversible, Videodrome, Salo, Cache (for one scene), I Stand Alone, Last House On The Left, Audition, Funny Games (either version), Man Bites Dog
2) Most Violent (Splatter fest, Over the top, fake gore etc.)- Dead Alive, Bad Taste, The Toxic Avenger, Dawn Of The Dead (original), Day Of The Dead, Tromeo and Juliet, Ichi The Killer, The Beyond, Suspiria,
3) Most Violent (Not necessarily Physical, emotional, or domestic, disease)- Once Were Warriors, Cries and Whispers, Seventh Continent, Medea ( Von Triers),
People who havnt seen Irreversible often think its some awful, terrifying experience. Its a great movie and the violence is terribly overrated, many other movies are much worse!!
Cannibal Holocaust was such garbage. I am such a fan of hyper violent and horrific films but these type of “Faces of Death”- like movies are really not my cup of tea.
