Here's two movies that haven't been mentioned yet. They don't really fuck with your mind intellectually, but rather emotionally, or physically (pure shock value).
Happiness. This is *the* darkest comedy ever made. I mean pure fucking spit-bile-at-the-world black. Its one of those movies that makes you cringe so much that it hurts until its funny. Its by the director of Welcome to the Dollhouse and Storytelling, both of which are in a similar vein but not nearly as dark.
Blood Sucking Freaks. What Happiness was on an implied emotional level, Blood Sucking Freaks is on a purely physical shock-value level. It is the ultimate epitome of exploitation films while still being a satire of exploitation. It is so horrific that even Lloyd Kaufman, head of Troma Films, regrets distributing the film. (If you know anything about the films Troma produces, you'll realize just how much that says). Watch the movie, and I guarantee that by halfway through the film you'll be asking yourself (and maybe anyone else in the room) "Why the fuck would anyone make this movie?" every 5 minutes.
