ALICE (1988)

The first feature by the Czech animator Jan Svankmajer was this bizarre take on ALICE IN WONDERLAND, notable for its unflagging invention and oppressive atmosphere

AJOOBA KUDRAT KAA

A very, very, very, very stupid Indian Bigfoot movie with all the Bollywood trimmings

AGONY

This once-banned Russian epic is a crazed exercise in historical revisionism centering on Grigori Rasputin, one of the Twentieth Century’s most fascinating personages

THE AGE OF INSECTS

A most interesting product of the nineties filmmaking underground that mixes B-movie goofiness with then-state of the art video effects

AFTER LAST SEASON

A positively jaw-dropping stunner that deserves to be ranked alongside “classics” like THE ROOM and FATEFUL FINDINGS

AFRAID OF THE DARK

A psychological thriller centered on a young boy and his disturbed psycho-sexual fantasies, AFRAID OF THE DARK is a strange little film that’s admirably thoughtful and subdued in its approach

ADAM RESURRECTED

A holocaust drama like no other, in which (in the words of one of its own creators) a man who was once a dog confronts a dog who was once a boy

ACNE

No-budget goofiness that’s enjoyable, imaginative and, surprisingly, quite politically astute

ABBY

Another case of a “lost” film that’s become an extremely sought-after item among horror buffs but, now that it’s finally been unearthed, turns out to be a disappointment

AATANK

Bollywood’s take on JAWS, a wholly ridiculous action/suspense/romance/musical/monster mash!
