_Cannibal Ferox_ would be interesting. “Turtle soup, anybody?” ---

You want weird? Try **The Forbidden Zone**. Stars Herve Villechaize as the King of Another Dimension. Danny Elfman plays the DEvil (and Oingo Boingo provides the music). Absolutely impossible to describe, but guaranteed to provoke reactions and much comment. I showed it at one of my Bad Film Festivals. My wife-to-be begged me to turn it off _during the opening credits_. Everyone else outvoted her, but five minutes later, they axed it, too. Aside from some citizens of this Board, I’m the only one I know who’s watched it all the way through. A Killer combination, guaranteed to “weird out” most audiences, would be [BV]Forbidden Zone, Freaks\*\*, and **Eraserhead**. > **[Forbidden Zone (1980) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080752/)** > > Forbidden Zone: Directed by Richard Elfman. With Gene Cunningham, Marie-Pascale Elfman, Virginia Rose, Phil Gordon. The bizarre and musical tale of a girl who travels to another dimension through the gateway found in her family's basement. ---

> [@Bryan Ekers](#): > > _[I Can Make You Love Me](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107178/)_, based on Richard Farley’s stalking of co-worker Laura Black, culminating in the 1988 office shooting spree in which he killed seven and wounded three, including Black. Perfect. **In the Company of Men** might leave everyone a little cold toward corporate middle management. ---

Try _The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover._ This is another movie that is inappropriate for most gatherings. \*Liquid Sky \* ought to have enough sex, drugs, and weirdness to get you in trouble at work. ---

No one else said **Faces Of Death** yet? Since someone already took **Meet the Feebles** from me, how about **Bad Taste** , another fine Peter Jackson romp about aliens trying to harvest humans for fast food? And I think **Cervaise** may have been thinking of **Cannibal Holocaust** , which features actual footage of animals being killed, including a very prolonged and graphic turtle-butchering scene. Yep, that’d be a good one. ---

My nomination: “Blue Velvet.” Runner-up: “Crash” (the David Cronenberg movie of 10 years back, not the Best Picture Winner from last year). What business is your company in? The answer might suggest some remarkably inappropriate titles. ---

How did you get to 33 posts with no mention of “South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?” So many inappropriate mainstream films for a general audience (most of them mentioned): Along with SP, just about anything by those boys should not be seen by a general audience: Russ Meyer Films fit the bill as being not fit for general audiences. I would like to add: Titus by Julie Taymor from 1999 Or Roman Holiday with Eddie Cantor (in Blackface) that could start a riot. ---

_Battle Royale_ _Storyltelling_ is inappropriate in general - even if you show the ‘censored’ version without the full nudity, she’s still yelling, “F\*\*k me, n\*\*\*\*r!” If they’re forced to attend, there’s also the entire 9 1/2 hours of _Shoah_. ---
