I nabbed The Warriors at Wal-Mart a few months back when it was $5. Still haven't watched it yet.
I just made a haul over at DeepDiscount.com since their 20% off summer sale is going on. Dunno if any o' you have seen these movies, but I'm thrilled to get 'em. They're mostly trash films, ha ha.

Only one of those I've seen is Slither, which I thought was awesome.
Nightmare Detective and A Snake of June are by Shinya Tsukamoto, who directed one of my absolute most favorite films, Tetsuo: The Iron Man.
The only cyberpunk movie that is IMO better than this is Blade Runner. Both are wildly different films, however. Basically, this is the first Evil Dead meets Eraserhead (David Lynch's first film, another favorite of mine, a very surrealistic horror film) meets the end of Akira when Tetsuo's body becomes both organic and metal.
It's a wiiildly imaginative film, and I really adore Tsukamoto for the work he put into it. He wrote it, he directed it, he did the cinematography and lighting, the editing, the special effects, and plays one of the lead characters. And the end result is AMAZING. This is seriously one of the most artistic movies I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. I watched it like five times within the first week after buying it.
I'm really looking forward to these two more recent movies he did. I also would really, REALLY love to see his film Tokyo Fist.
TrailerOh MAN that looks good. Too bad in the US it's only had a DVD release by Manga, and it's out of print.
I'd also be interested in seeing Tetsuo II: Body Hammer, though I hear it's nowhere near as grand as the first.
While on the subject, I should mention just how FREAKING INDUSTRIAL the original Tetsuo is. It's basically industrial music in visual form, and it's got a really nice industrial score to accompany it.
Just check out the intro and see what I mean.
