^That is a unique one. I haven't seen it in about 40 years but remember watching on a late night / early morning movie channel when I was on the road.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

The original "Deathrace 2000" (1975) with David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone.  

"A Boy and His Dog" (1975) is another unique one.

Images made no sense in terms of impact (like ironing a newspaper, or a racy novel against one"s chest or the inability to express your feelings because of social position or tradition) . I have watched it at least 20 times by now and it still has so much juice. Each scene has a purpose, though wrapped under a veil of diffidence, once you see how it is all so subtly interwoven, it is quite a revelation. My favourite movie all time (no sex, no violence, no action but a  lot of deep internal drama). 
"Remains" is an incredible actors movie with subtext on top of subtext. An amazing film if you have the time and patience to take it all in.

Hmm. I'd have to choose a David Lynch film - Lost Highway. I'd prefer to go for Rabbits, but I don't think that can be classed as a movie.

Did you see the original? It's MUCH better... "Purple Noon" with Alain Delon.
I wasn't aware that such a movie exists. BTW I watched Mr. Ripley about 2 decades ago, and honestly I don't remember much details about it. But I was pleasantly surprised about its "intelligence".
Even a better reason to see "Purple Noon"...

Ripley's one of my favorites but I wouldn't really call it unique, more in the vein of Hitchcock.   The followup Ripley's Game with John Malkovitch is also fairly good though very different from the Matt Damon film.   I'll look into Purple Noon .

Gummo, on the other hand, is completely unique -

First time i saw "Hellraiser" quite late and with horror movies in mind, often tjose that are mentioned in similar breath.

it struck me as unique that the monsters in the movie arrent really the cenobites but the human lust for pain and pleasure, which as a student of Aesthetics stroke a chord of one which have read Edmund Burkes and Kants authership on the theory of the sublime and beautiful.

Hellraiser is a experimentation into theories of sublime made vivvid and grotesque yet beautifull and atractive

'A Clockwork Orange' maybe, or '2001: A Space Odyssey' or 'Pi' by Aronofsky.

Just saw Mother! this weekend. Very bizarre. One of those "open to interpretation" films.
