If you basically liked "Metropolis" but are looking for "kinky"... check out "The Fabulous World of Jules Verne", and 1964(?) B/W Czech films that combines live action with wood-cut style animation and rotoscoping.... interesting sci-fi and DEFINITELY kinky.

Well, for kinky my awards have to go to things like Eating Raoul, Eraserhead, Housekeeping etc. Sorta expect SF films to be strange. Hey, remember Atragon? And what was the name of that movie they did about Atlantis where they'd developed these big crystal things that could shoot heat rays? Saw a tiny 2 sec. clip out of it on a Discovery program (testing a tiny table top version of the heat ray machine)

  I would consider a movie like Liquid Sky to fall into the "kinky" sci-fi category - as well as The Man Who Fell to Earth (better book than movie) and Eraserhead - not an easy movie to watch but worth the effort.
  The movie you mentioned about Atlantis *is* Atlantis - a George Pal production and pretty forgettable. One of the film's stars is Ed Platt ("Chief" from Max Smart) who wears a tastefully revealing toga throughout the film... very kinky indeed!
  BTW - in case you were wondering - kinky is using a feather - perverted is using an entire chicken :0

    & leave it be.
    My vote for kink has got to be "Videodrome" followed by "Sex, Lies & Videotape". These were truly intense (thought & feeling) films, not usually associated with the genre IMHO.

      I've got something I want to play for you Max.... (^-^) Much better than Vampires IMHO!

        ... but not that way.
        This isn't my normal genre. These 2 are the only in my LD library that fit this definition. I shouldn't say that, I bought "Bound" but haven't managed to watch it past the 1st 15 some odd minutes. [Yawn]
        Any other movies of this caliber come to mind? I like the "Children of a Lesser God" & "Omen" type intensity. Most of these movies never grip someone like Hitchcock innately understood. Unfortunately, never liked his movies' dialog. He really needed a scriptwriter worthy of his talents/efforts.

      By Scott's definitions, "Videodrome" would be both kinky (the scene with
      Woods and Harry, where Harry burns herself with a lit cigarette); and
      perverted, (the supposedly real dungeon torture scenes broadcoast from
      Pittsburgh or wheverever...).
      - Better add KFC commerials to the list.... Scott 12:04:40 02/11/00 (0)
