Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

'Angel Heart' is very good - I quite agree .
I also really liked 'Delicatessen' (as Marco has on his list) - 'City of Lost Children' is also good.
'Dark City' is excellent.
'Martyrs' is very good but also very disturbing (well known as such).
One of my favourite films of all time is 'Brazil'.
(If you like a bit of schlock horror - 'The Devil's rejects')

Oooo, you could be in for a real treat then old bean. If you like dark and fucked up and enjoyed The Lobster, then YL films should be right in your ball park, he's a master of the fucked up and bizarre, in fact I think he deserves his very own genre. Dogtooth is way out there, but I love them all, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, now that's one really fucked up film. Apologies for using the f word a lot, but it's the only truly correct descriptive word to use. I just love his work.
I'm going to give Doctor Sleep another go, as I won't have any expectations going in a second time and can watch it not thinking I'm going to get The Shining II. Being honest, I thought some of the cinematography was exceptional, those long distance overhead shots were superb and really set the mood, whilst giving a nod to similar shots in TS.
A busy movie week for me it seems!
Right, I've just cracked open a new bottle of Ardbeg Ten, so I'm going to watch
