The darkness of HotW, though, the internal struggle of the main character, by Max von Sydow perfectly portrayed, and the experimentation with interesting shots and subject matter...wondrous.

For something completely different: If you've ever been amused by a "stoner" comedy and not seen Smiley Face, starring Anna Faris, you're missing out. Essentially, Jane, portrayed by Faris, gets incredibly stoned and attempts to go about essential tasks she must perform throughout the day, with worst case scenario consequences around every corner. Hilarity ensues. Check it out. Also - Jim from the Office, Jane Lynch, the guidance counselor from Glee, Brian Posehn, John Cho, Danny Trejo, and Danny Masterson all have roles in this flick.
I loved the ending to Hour of the Wolf. Incredible haunting. I hated Smiley Face with all my being but I find Anna Faris insanely annoying in everything she does so...

Definitely a must see with this synopsis.

A powerful cosmic force is turning Earth women into queen bees who kill men by wearing them out sexually.
Thanks!

I've seen all of Terrence Malick's films. What are some other films that are similar to his? Any aspect is acceptable. And yes, I have seen The Assassination of Jesse James.

Try Stalker from Tarkovsky. I can't speak enough about him. It's slow but gorgeous.

All the bolded ones I've seen already and are some of my faves especially Dark City, Cube and Moon.

I still own a copy of Akira on VHS.

Brazil, I have been meaning to get around to. It's already downloaded on my laptop. I just need to watch it.

Thanks for the recs though. I'll pretty much go down this and check out the other greats.

I second Westworld and Brazil. Brazil was Terry Gilliams gift to the world.
