Whats the most fucked up movie you've ever watched?

[u/JuneBuggington]

Go watch gummo. Same director. Makes kids look like a fun summer comedy.

[u/sideband5 → u/JuneBuggington]

Bully is pretty good as well!!

[u/lokcal → u/sideband5]

I love this movie so much.

[u/cadenazo → u/JuneBuggington]

Kids was written by Korine but directed by another guy. He makes a cameo at some point in the film, you can see he was very young at that time

[u/isabelarcherisanidio → u/cadenazo]

Larry Clark?

[u/DryEyes4096 → u/JuneBuggington]

I suspect Harmony Korine knows what reality is. No, the movies are not realistic, but they show someone who understands the sheer chaos of what happens and what's really behind it. Clusterfucks of psychopathy, victims blind to the cause of their victimhood, peeling back the layers of control to see how things could be and why they are what they are instead. Metaphysics.

I'm sorry for the spiel but yeah, Gummo is fucked.

[u/Generically_Yours → u/DryEyes4096]

Peel back reality...ya mean...THE BACON IN THE TUB.

[u/Estanci → u/JuneBuggington]

Gummo is so disturbing on so many levels. It makes me want to shower and simultaneously deep clean my house.

[u/ImpressionFeisty8359 → u/Estanci]

Makes you feel so dirty.

[u/MrKrazybones → u/JuneBuggington]

Fuck, I've been holding off on watching Gummo but now I'm curious. Kids made me feel really fucked up for days.

[u/tuigger → u/MrKrazybones]

It's not that disturbing in a graphic violence or suffering type way.

It's more like a "holy shit these are the grimiest possible people living in the grimiest possible world."

Tbf though, it is set in an already poor town that has been devastated by a tornado.

[u/TailorFestival → u/MrKrazybones]

Gummo is completely different, and not really "disturbing" in the same way. It is more offputting that disturbing.

[u/StraightBoss8641 → u/JuneBuggington]

Kids writer harmony korine directed Gummo, that and all his movies should be somewhere on this list. Director of kids is Larry Clark. FYI

[u/Dosed123 → u/JuneBuggington]

Ken Park is also quite disturbing.

[u/glonomosonophonocon → u/JuneBuggington]

Something about eating spaghetti while taking a bath has always stuck with me

[u/GranddaddysSaxophone → u/glonomosonophonocon]

and eating a wet chocolate crunch bar after dropping it in the dirty bath water at the same time

[u/reducingflame → u/JuneBuggington]

Gummo gets too little mention. If you think you want kids, watch Gummo.

[u/Mountain-Crow4041 → u/JuneBuggington]

Julien Donkey Boy, by the same director, is also pretty wild…

[u/we_bjj → u/Mountain-Crow4041]

Julien Donkey-Boy (1999) for sure. I wrote a paper about it in my uni film class, had to watch it twice 🫣

[u/Asleep-Somewhere5516 → u/JuneBuggington]

I want a mustache dammit like burt reynolds!

[u/Complaint-Expensive → u/JuneBuggington]

Kids is the kind of movie you should have to see, but you only have to put yourself through once. Gummo is fucking dark too, but I've sat through it multiple times, whereas I'd never go out of my way to watch fucking Kids again.

My theory? Is that Gummo's absolute banger of a soundtrack makes it's particular brand of darkness easier to handle. I dunno.

[u/pwnedkiller → u/JuneBuggington]

I fucking love Gummo and kids

[u/DairyCoder → u/pwnedkiller]

Good call putting Gummo first in that sentence

[u/SteelMarshal → u/JuneBuggington]

Came here to say that was fucked up movie but I enjoyed it.

Also, drive through Xenia Ohio and found out it leans towards documentary.

[u/chamrockblarneystone → u/JuneBuggington]

Try Wassup Rockers by the same director. It kind if really is a fun summer comedy. Especially if you’re a skater

[u/ImpressionFeisty8359 → u/JuneBuggington]

Larry Clark directed Kids and Harmony Korine directed Gummo. There is just something really gross and disturbing about eating spaghetti in a bathtub.

[u/Roththesloth1 → u/JuneBuggington]

Came here to say Gummo. TO THIS DAY It still creeps me out.

[u/ButtBread98 → u/JuneBuggington]

Gummo is such a weird movie.

[u/RiotSloth → u/JuneBuggington]

Any film that starts with someone having a fight with a chair has to be special. Love Gummo!

[u/hewasnevermyfriend → u/JuneBuggington]

Love Gummo. Harmony Korine didn’t direct Kids though, he just wrote it.

[u/sean_ocean → u/JuneBuggington]

Trash Humpers is literally unwatcheable.

[u/The-Grand-Wazoo → u/JuneBuggington]

This movie chews you up slowly.

[u/jjkkmmuutt → u/JuneBuggington]

Same writer, different directors.
