  • Never heard of any of those movies. Are they really classics? Which one would people recommend?

      Yes, but they are more cult classics. House and Tetsuo are known for their different takes on horror. Pistol Opera is done by Seijun Suzuki, known for his Yakuza type movies. Mind game is a pretty trippy anime movie.

      After a deadly encounter with two yakuza, a loser with a crush on his childhood girlfriend goes to heaven and back, embarking on a psychedelic self-discovery experience with her and his friends.
  • AGNSW films are great value for free but the cinema screen is pretty small so you’d have to want to see the film.
