Also, thanks for pointing me towards Miller's Crossing a while back.
No probs, good to hear you enjoyed it. It's my joint-favourite Coens film along with the Big Lebowski as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but it's great. The Big Lebowski is my favorite comedy.

Audition
Nosferatu

Nil By Mouth
Ladybird Ladybird
Salo

are not Horror films per se and inappropriate for Halloween but they are some of the scariest films I have seen regarding their subject matter and direction. I.E intelligently made.

If you want to be grossed out then try:

Tokyo Gore Police
Bunman: The Untold Story
Murder Set Pieces
The Ebola syndrome
Mermaid In A Manhole
Schramm
Nekromantik 2

and not forgetting films such as

M
LE CHIEN ANDALOU

Thanks for the recommendations. I've seen The Last Supper, After Hours, In Bruges and Very Bad Things but I'll check the others out.

I've not really got a good TV show to sit down and watch at the moment. This is disappointing. I've already watched the following all the way through / up to the present in the case of the few which are still on air:

Pushing Daisies
Dead Like Me
Reaper
Arrested Development
Twin Peaks
Breaking Bad
Boardwalk Empire
The Walking Dead
Louie
Anything on Adult Swim - or animated on FOX
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Any recommendations (on Netflix instant would be a major plus) for shows I may not have seen but would possibly like based on the above?

As an aside, I have seen but don't really enjoy Weeds, Lost, or Law and Order-type shows.

I'm going to recommend you Green Wing: A blending of sketch comedy with drama, set in a hospital and featuring no medical storylines. Hilarious, politically incorrect, sexual and surreal. It takes an episode or two to settle into the smattering of characters and events, but beneath the absurdity, they're some of the most realistic and relatable characters I've seen on television.

Necrobump (this thread should be stickied).

I'm looking for some good horror films, preferably on the psychological end of things.

You can't go wrong with any of Hitchcock's horror films, if there are any you haven't already seen. Other than his work, these are a few of my favorites that came to mind when I saw your post...

Jacob's Ladder (1990)
Repulsion (1965)
Session 9 (2001)
The Changeling (1980)
Peeping Tom (1960)
Carnival of Souls (1962)
The Last Man on Earth (1964)

The Last Man on Earth is as much a sci-fi flick as it is a horror flick, but it definitely has a creepy psychological edginess to it.
