Trippy, Absurd, or Excessively Over The Top

Feature films directed by David Cronenberg.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave is a philosophical story or metaphor that illustrates the nature of reality and the human condition. It appears in Book VII of Plato's Republic, a dialogue between Socrates and his student, Glaucon.

In the allegory, prisoners are chained in a dark cave and forced to face a blank wall. They can only see the shadows of objects passing behind them, cast by a fire burning behind them. The prisoners perceive the shadows as reality, and they believe that the shadows are the only reality that exists.

When one prisoner is freed and is allowed to leave the cave, he discovers that the shadows are only a reflection of real objects, and that there is a whole new world outside the cave. The freed prisoner becomes aware of a higher reality that he had never known existed. He returns to the cave to share his new knowledge with the other prisoners, but they are skeptical and do not believe him.

The allegory of the cave is often interpreted as a metaphor for the human condition. The cave represents the physical world in which we live, and the prisoners represent people who are trapped by their limited perceptions and beliefs. The freed prisoner represents someone who has gained insight into the true nature of reality, and who seeks to share this knowledge with others.

Rotten Tomatoes - Best of year

Psychological Thrillers

The films that left my mind fucked. Good or bad (mostly good, I like a good mind fuck). Lots of open endings, phylosofical space and wtf moments. Pretty complex as well at times. And sometimes not at all, what you see is what you get but it just wasn't what you were expecting AT ALL.

David Cronenberg is probably my favorite director. So I am ranking all his body horror movies.

I have to re-watch a few of his movies to figure out the order. This list includes only movies I've seen and is a work in progress.

Contemporary fears, remakes and some might even say, a reinterpretation of the genre in the later half of the decade.

List of movies and series in which the protagonist enters a virtual world. If you know of films of this style, please do not hesitate to tell me.
