I nearly had a panic attack watching that movie sober, I can't imagine watching it while imbibing anything.

why do people let their children watch that movie it's loving terrifying.

I had it on VHS and watched it like 40 times as a kid which is surprising looking back because that movie didn't have any talking animals :shrug:

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

The minimalism and surrealism of movies in that vein (I think of Yellow Submarine in the same group as stuff like Fantastic Planet or Belladonna of Sadness) freaks me the gently caress out and I get uncomfortable watching even clips from them. I'm totally fine with grossly violent live action movies, but I refuse to watch movies in that style, even though the three that I named are pretty distinct from each other.

Actually surrealism in general can get hosed

Have you seen the insane animated tv show Superjail?

It's a mix of hyper violence and incredibly fluid surrealism and it makes me queasy to watch but it's loving fascinating

Oh hey here's a clip that specifically references Yellow Submarine: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-cwoM4CKWQE

Watching the original Vampire Hunter D. Its much uglier than Bloodlust, unsurprisingly, but good lord I didn't realize how obviously the Fist of the North Star style carries to it.

Its... not worth it? I found it tedious and I love weird imagery. The Girl in the Radiator Song is great though, basically justifies the movie.

My parents let my sister watch The Brave Little Toaster every day, and let me watch Return to Oz every day.

Being allowed to watch weird, trippy movies builds character.

That was pretty intense, huh?

surf rock posted:

Went to see Your Name and enjoyed it. I didn't know anything about the plot except the body-swapping thing, so I was pretty surprised about where the story went. There are some moments I wish weren't in the film (like the third/fourth/fifth boob-grab or the panty shot), but it seemed like a solid story and the visuals were beautiful.

I do have to say, though, that the anime films I've seen over the past few years are that, When Marnie Was There (loved it, became a big Priscilla Ahn fan), Paprika, and Perfect Blue. So, I'm pretty ready for a straightforward story without time travel or weird mindfuckery at this point, goddamn.

Edit: I feel like some of these suggestions are not entirely sincere.

Barefoot Gen is a grounded, hard hitting anime drama that will make you feel real goddamn emotion.

I watched Brave Little Toaster as a child but it took watching it as an adult to realize my memories of the film were real and not the products of nightmare fever dreams.

There was a GHOST here.
It's gone now.
I was a little kid who loved being scared and I watched Brave Little Toaster and Watership Down enough that the tapes were worn out by the time I was six. And then I'd turn around and watch that 80's My Little Pony movie almost every day. As such, The Last Unicorn was extremely my thing.
I remember being more scandalized by the swear words than the, upon reflection, odd deal with monster tits in that film.
