Top films (with equal votes) are:

• La Grande Bouffe (1973) wikipedia

The film tells the story of four friends who gather in a villa for the weekend, with the express purpose of eating themselves to death.

• Lost Highway (1997) wikipedia

A David Lynch film. I’ve not seen his 90s films but always meant to. After hearing of his illness, I figure now is as good a time as any

• Meet the Feebles (wikipedia)

Released in 1989, this is an early-ish Peter Jackson movie (yes, the LOTR guy).

It’s a lurid and disturbing backstage comedy of a troupe similar to The Muppet Show.

I watched it with one friend in the mid 90s who, when it ended, stood, turned to me, and said “It is possible to go too far” before leaving the room.

But please see the voting post for the full list of films nominated, you may find something new and interesting there).

If I were forced to break the tie I’d select Lynch’s Lost Highway just because it’s likely confirmed recently we’ll never see a new Lynch film and it feels appropriate to revisit one of his works that many of us have probably not seen.

But having a “popular winner” is antithetical to the spirit of this club, instead these are all likely worth watching!

Please watch as you wish, provide any tips on where to find these films if you can, and discuss how you found the films in the community!

Compared to the “popcorn theatre” I don’t think it makes as much sense to have any live watch sessions, in part because getting more niche films can be trickier but also because I’m the kind of person that likes to watch niche films when I’m in the mood. But maybe that’s just me! Let me know if you have any thoughts/feedback!
