Strange Circus
Japan, 2005
Director: Sion Sono
I first came into contact with Sion Sono's work with Suicide Club (2001), and enjoyed the movie a lot. But Strange Circus, his next film, just blew me away. A surreal and twisted horror masterpiece, and still my favorite of his films.
Since then he has followed up with such awesome films as Love Exposure, Cold Fish, and Guilty of Romance.

Cat People
USA, 1982
Director: Paul Schrader
Starring: Nastassja Kinski, Malcolm McDowell, John Heard, Annette O'Toole
Nastassja Kinski's performance in this film is riveting, as is the sense of atmosphere generated by Paul Schrader's direction. There's just something about the dark and sexual feel of this film that appeals to me.
The african scenes featuring Bowie's "Cat People" are especially effective, but then I love that song. Giorgio Moroder's synth-laden score fills the rest of the film, giving an obvious '80s vibe that evokes either cheesiness or unique atmosphere, depending on your point of view.
