10 The Wasp Woman (1959)
Janice Starlin (Susan Cabot), the glamorous executive of a cosmetics company, is searching for a rejuvenating face serum when she finds an answer in the defamed Dr. Zinthrop, whose experiments on wasps got him canned from his last job. Extracting the enzymes from the insect’s royal jelly, Zinthrop creates a formula with literal anti-aging properties. Unfortunately for Janice whose all too eager to test it on herself, the serum has the side-effect of turning the user into a violent, angry human wasp.
B-movie king Roger Corman’s flick isn’t just a monster movie, it’s a scathing bit of commentary from an era before the mainstreaming of feminist ideas.
9 The Big Doll House (1971)
Six ravishing female inmates at an inhumane Philippine penitentiary plot a daring escape by taking a cruel female warden hostage and enlisting the help of two reluctant fruit vendors in Jack Hill’s “women in prison” pic.
Titillating yet empathetic, The Big Doll House is an exploitation classic featuring genre greats, like Pam Grier and Sid Haig.
8 A Boy And His Dog (1975)
A very young Don Johnson stars as Vic, a libidinous wanderer wandering a post-apocalyptic desert with his telepathic mutt, Blood. Upon discovering an underground commune, Vic drops Blood for the leader’s seductive daughter (Susanne Benton), but doesn’t realize he’s been lured there for a nefarious purpose.
This offbeat and sardonic cult classic is a nasty piece of work: envisioning society’s breakdown as a return to grotesque prurience.
7 Assault On Precinct 13 (1976)
After several of their members are killed by the LAPD, the Street Thunder gang seeks bloody retribution against the cops and the citizens they’re sworn to protect. As the angry gang members bear down on a defunct local police precinct, Lt. Ethan Bishop (Austin Stoker) and his men form an alliance with a group of prisoners to survive the siege.
Forget the remake, John Carpenter’s lean, mean update of Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo is an irrefutable action classic and one of the director’s best efforts.
6 The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)
This collection of satirical skits and vignettes from director John Landis and the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker writing team is one of the most influential spoof movies of all time.
With an anarchic spirit and unmistakable sense of wit, The Kentucky Fried Movie wasn’t just a dry-run for comedy classic Airplane! (1980), but is a direct ascendant of the Scary Movie series and all the lesser spoofs that came after.
5 Nosferatu The Vampyre (1979)
Jonathan Harker (Bruno Ganz) arrives at the castle of the mysterious Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski) to sell him a house in Virna, his own hometown. Entranced by a photograph of Jonathan’s wife, Lucy (Isabelle Adjani), the vampire makes the move to Virna in pursuit of her, bringing with him death and pestilence.
So much more than an update of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent feature, Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu the Vampyre is a contemplative, humorous, delicately wrought classic on its own terms, anchored by a repellent and remarkable performance from Kinski.
4 Knightriders (1981)
A band of bikers led by the noble Billy (Ed Harris) finds fame and fortune jousting at medieval fairs, but the pressure of commercial success and the machinations of Billy’s arch-rival, Morgan (Tom Savini) threaten the gang’s sense of unity.
George A. Romero’s totally weird action feature mashes high fantasy with 1960s rebel biker pictures in an unexpectedly kickass package.
3 Fitzcarraldo (1982)
European and would-be rubber baron Brian Fitzgerald is determined to build an opera house in his small Peruvian city. To achieve this feat, he attempts an even greater one: transporting a massive boat over a mountaintop to access the rubber plants on the other side.
A film about the wonder and folly of the indefatigable human spirit, Fitzcarraldo isn’t simply an epic journey, but a breathtaking spectacle all its own.
2 Dead Ringers (1988)
Successful twin gynecologists Elliot and Beverly (both played by Jeremy Irons), have an ideal setup. Whenever Elliot tires of a romantic partner, he will pass her over to Beverly without her knowing the difference. But, when Beverly falls for one of their patients (Geneviève Bujold), obsession threatens to fracture the brothers’ minds and relationship.
A creepy character-driven drama from David Cronenberg, Dead Ringers’ low-key chills are as unsettling as anything in his body of horror classics.
1 Holy Motors (2012)
In Leo Carax’s challenging meta-narrative, a mysterious man (Denis Lavant) is shuttled around Paris by his faithful driver (Édith Scob) as he dons costumes and enacts a number of bizarre, semi-scripted parts.
Though certainly not for everyone, Holy Motors is a stylish and consistently surprising film about life itself and how film reflects our collective human experience.
