* Blade 2: Okay, so it's not much related, except that if The Matrix gets in on fetish raves, then the vampire rave scene from this one oughta be here too. |
|
* Blade and Blade 2: It's not just the fetish outfits or vampire rave scenes that put these films here, it's also the vampire lord playing the sanely mad scientist, and the elaborate (and self-consciously artificial) architectures in which these creatures live. |
|
* Cat Soup : Strangely existentialistic, disturbing, and yet delightful film about a pair of cat children. |
|
* Crash: if nothing but to explain the Ballard Memorial Highway |
|
* Dark Star: Very early John Carpenter film about the tensions aboard a deep space cruiser with an existentialistic bomb. Could be considered a forefoather to the Red Dwarf TV series. |

* Existenz: If you want Strange weapons, this is the place. * Ghost in the Shell: The techno-fetish has a lighter touch in the movies than in the comic books. The TV series Stand Alone Complex makes no compromises, layering the technology on thick, and has lots of cybernetic fun. * Heavy Metal: Dimensional transport, transformation, rites and powers, zombies, drugs and sex make up the primary content of this series of vignettes. (There's a scene near the end of a woman dressing which is the best example I know of being erotic without being explicit. - Echo) * Interstella 5555: The story of a band, told without words. |

* Memento: Story of man with no long-term memory, entirely told in two alternating backwards timelines. Mentioned as inspiration for any 'mind-burned' PBX characters. |

Mentioned as inspiration for any 'mind-burned' PBX characters. * Mindgame: Manga artist Nishi gets the chance to rework his life when, through sheer will, he breaks reality. * Mind's Eye: Primitive computer-generated art films of general interest. 'Odyssey Into...' has an upwarp-themed chapter, Utopian Life. |

* Princess Mononoke: animism in conflict with industrialism; complex, non-dualistic morality * Perfect Blue: besides the obvious reason, it's a really interesting study of insanity and deviations of perception. -- Blue |

|
* Rock and Rule: quintessentially 1980s film about a post-nuclear world populated by anthropomorphs, where rock-and-roll reigns supreme. Wonderful futuristic imagery and some nice tunes. |
|
* Sleeper: Woody Allen film spoofing many 1960s visions of the future. Must be seen to hear lines like, "I wanted to have sex, but we didn't have enough people." "I know, let's use the Orgasmotron." |
