I'm going to assume you've seen all the undisputed masterpieces
like Seven Samurai, City of God, La Haine, The Lives of Others and Tokyo Story

Das Experiment - you seem to like "batshit mental"
Tetsuo: Iron Man - see above, but much sillier
Kagemushi - an older Kurosawa, it's awesome (duh)
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! - classic Almodovar

Yeah, seen those classics
and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! Not too much Kurosawa though, I'll give that a look.

How about Studio Ghibli?
Or the German Expressionist stuff from the 20's - Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, etc

Love the Ghibli stuff
I was a late convert, Becky letters showed me the error of my ways there.

Haven't seen either of them, but I have seen Metropolis.

I just don't get the Ghibli stuff and the other Japanese anime.

If it's done well it's tremendous.

Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies (possibly not Ghibli), My Neighbour Totoro, er, few others.

The Cat Returns

Check out Nosferatu
It might seem a bit dated because it's basically Dracula by another name, but the imagery is fantastic and the atmospherics are bloody terrifying

I love Nosferatu.
I can really imagine people being scared when it came out.

Of course you love Nosferatu
There's cock imagery. Probably makes you think of me
