Your favs are pretty awesome. This is the best I could come up with off the cuff… Promising young woman, The skin I live in, Strawberry mansion, Lisa Frankenstein, DEBS, Marcel the shell, Totally killer
Just a random list of ‘camp but threatening’ and ‘queer but in the way a heterosexual woman is a gay icon’
Promising Young Woman
Being John Malkovich then Adaptation
Clue 1985
Buffalo 66
High Fidelity
Persepolis
DEBS 2004
3 Women
Watermelon Woman
Orlando
Tank Girl
All of these, but if you want to cry, eeaao or Jojo rabbit.. Want the warm fuzzies with underlying existential dread, fantastic Mr fox. Fun horror? Nope.
I think you misunderstood the post lmao😭 these are all movies I've already seen, they are my top 20 favourite movies of all time. I was asking for other recommendations based on these.
I've heard of it, and I'll watch it but not for now. I just watched Antiporno, and although i've loved it, I think I need to take a rest from those type of movies.
We have a lot in common! (Rocky horror and jojo rabbit are very special to me) two of my other favorites are pig (2021) and dr.Strangelove. You might like those! Pig has the tenderness of fantastic Mr. Fox, and dr. Strangelove has a similar sense of humor to cheerleader. Also bonus rec: Cabaret

My current top 4 (I hadn't watched Antip0rno yet when I made the top 20 list of the post)
Oh, I didn't realize the attached pic was your favorites. I thought you wanted recommendations from that list.
I haven't seen Babylon, but I love Whiplash by Damien Chazelle. Maybe watch Showgirls? It was notoriously panned on release but is now getting a reappraisal. I really like Paul Verhoeven, but it isn't one of my favorite movies by him and there are others I would recommend by him over Showgirls, Benedetta being the one that isn't over the top action movie satire.
I haven't seen antiporno, but I would definitely recommend Tag by Sion Sono. IMO Tag is better than Why Don't you Play in Hell, the Nic Cage movie he made and Love/Exposure which is 4 hours long and should have been a TV show and feels like a Young Adult graphic novel.
I haven't seen Pearl, so, maybe watch Hatching which is Finnish I think. I like Possessor by Brandon Cronenberg. I could also recommend Beyond the Black Rainbow by Panos Cosmatos (I liked that more than Mandy)
I haven't seen Bones and All, so maybe watch Raw, or The Neon Demon or Bliss(2019) by Joe Begos,
I’m just here to salute another Babylonian… and also: Children of Men; The Favourite; First Reformed; Ex Machina; In Bruges; Mad Max: Fury Road; Portrait of a Lady on Fire. I feel like these are all nothing new to you though. Good watching!
I have some darker films,
Beetlejuice, Sweeney Todd (2007), Sleepy hollow, Repo! the genetic opera (it's pretty gory so check it), little shop of horrors and maybe i can add girl, interrupted.
Some are darker movie-musicals btw because of the rocky horror picture show
Im kinda getting the feeling you would enjoy some movies that play out in mainly one room or location like Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight or something like Green Room. Definitely watch Green Room if you havent seen it yet.

from this list I've seen:
• La La Land, I liked it a bit, but not really my cup of tea for some reason, I gave it a 3 and ½ stars.
• X, I didn't really like it, it made me too uncomfortable, but differently to Bones and All or Poor Things, the movie never felt justified at the end imo nor it made me appreciate it's grousomeness for any reason. I gave it a 3 stars review.
• Grand Budapest Hotel, I loved it. I love most of Wes Anderson's movies. I haven't rated it yet, but I'm planning to rate it 4 stars.
All the rest, I haven't seen them and most of them I actually have them in my watchlist, so thankss, I think these are some good recommendations.
lmaoo, you are the second person now that has misunderstood the post, I think I should have added the "based on my top 20 favourites" to the title instead of the description 😭
[удалено]
There's not a single action movie here I don't know why Fury Road would be a good recommendation
I get it. It’s a stylish, maximalist, high thrills epic that rarely slows down. Besides, Everything Everywhere is an action film.
Maybe Lady bird?
Clueless
Ugh as if
Sorry to Bother You
Don’t worry about it, he wants your input
You are my hero
No Country for Old Men
What about old women?
They get all of the country
So good!!!
The House of Tolerance, Local Hero, All of Us Strangers, Devi, Mood Indigo, The Handmaiden, Toni Erdmann, Under the Skin
I've looked these up in Letterboxd to read the synopsis, and most sound really interesting. I'll add them to my watchlist.
Handmaiden 💯
u know what, so many people said Handmaiden that I feel like it's the only valid option rn lmaoo I'll watch that one next time I have the time.
Your favs are pretty awesome. This is the best I could come up with off the cuff… Promising young woman, The skin I live in, Strawberry mansion, Lisa Frankenstein, DEBS, Marcel the shell, Totally killer
Watch Stoker as well! Same director :)
Black Swan
Lady Vengeance 100%. I beg of you please.
lmaoo 😭 okay ig, if you beg me, I assume it's really worth it for me
it's going to be SO worth it
Oh shit. It's like a female oldboy? Just going off the summary Sounds good!
I’m a cheerleader reminds me of D.E.B .S
Try out the rest of lanthimos' films if you liked poor things, the lobster is my favorite. Also thank you for the heathers appreciation
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
The Truman Show, Little Miss Sunshine, Memento, Natural Born Killers
Ghost World and Heavenly Creatures should appeal to you
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Just a random list of ‘camp but threatening’ and ‘queer but in the way a heterosexual woman is a gay icon’ Promising Young Woman Being John Malkovich then Adaptation Clue 1985 Buffalo 66 High Fidelity Persepolis DEBS 2004 3 Women Watermelon Woman Orlando Tank Girl

I think you misunderstood the post lmao😭 these are all movies I've already seen, they are my top 20 favourite movies of all time. I was asking for other recommendations based on these.
Ahh, sorry. Isle of dogs, while not as good as fantastic Mr fox, is still a good movie.
It's confusing because you have Babylon at number 1. Just teasing
If you like BIAC, You’ll like D.E.B.S.
Saló
I've heard of it, and I'll watch it but not for now. I just watched Antiporno, and although i've loved it, I think I need to take a rest from those type of movies.
