By what mythology do we live by? I believe that Christianity, Shintoism, Taoism, Alchemy, Homeopathy, and Jung are the 6 pillars.
"All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril." - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
"The straight line is godless and immoral. The straight line is not a creative line, it is a duplicating line, an imitating line." - Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Freaks (also re-released as The Monster Story, Forbidden Love, and Nature's Mistakes) by Tod Browning.
Based on elements from the short story "Spurs" by Tod Robbins.
Step right up and be horrified! Or be sympathetic, that works too. This is a unique film. Believe me, there has never been and will never be a film like this again.
Get this: After the success of Universal's original "Dracula" in 1931, MGM approached its director Tod Browning to make "the scariest film ever made". So what did Browning do? He gathered real circus sideshow performers from all over the country and made the movie "Freaks". The movie's so shocking that MGM was sued by one audience member who claimed that seeing the movie gave her a miscarriage. This movie is so controversial that there are still cities in the United States where it's illegal to even show it!
Just a word of warning before you decide to go see this, some of the people in this movie do look very disturbing. If you'd rather not subject yourself to that kind of imagery, then it would probably be best to not see it. Regardless, this film is full of iconic moments of pure cinema, pulpy horror, carny noir, and perverse melodrama. Freaks is still unclassifiable after many decades. It's still sick, twisted, perverse and profoundly human. It contains Tod Browning's view of the world at its purest.

The Three Musketeers (also known as The Three Musketeers (The Queen's Diamonds)) by Richard Lester.
Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas.
Along with the 1993 adaptation and Randall Wallace's The Man in the Iron Mask, this is definitely one of my favorite versions of the musketeers.
A beautiful adventure film with smart and quick comedic energy.
"Are video games a form of art?"
My answer to this age-old question? YES...
Anomalisa by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson.
Based on Kaufman's 2005 audio play of the same name.
An epic, moving, meticulous, and miraculous feat of filmmaking.
One of my favorite types of animated films are of the independent variety. Films like Hoodwinked!, Persepolis, Mary and Max, and the works of Ralph Bakshi are among my personal recommendations.
