Wake In Fright, an alternative Australian travelogue. A fever dream of piss, gambling & native fauna. You'll all be streaming down here after watching it.

A wild Alan Bates stars in a folk horror in a misty, deserted Cornwall. Hugely atmospheric.
I don’t know this one. Sounds like my kind of thing
Oddly enough I was thinking of this one when I opened the thread. It's one of the strangest things I've ever seen and it deserves more of a reputation.

The Spirit of the Beehive.
The most haunting film ever made about childhood, as well as a reflection of how war damages a society even after it's ended.

Carole Lombard comes from a different planet. The whole thing is fantastic.

Trees Lounge , Steve Buscemi directs a wonderful movie where nothing really happens but it has depth to its story of barflys and family.

I've recently rewatched Threads (1984). Not for the faint of heart, it has to be one of the most realistic depictions of nuclear war ever filmed.
No big fancy explosions and heroes saving the day or overdramatization of mankind fading into the past, it shows what real, normal people would do in such a terrible situation, and how society would do everything to survive and keep existing afterwards ; and will make you wonder whether an overdramatized worldwide nuclear extinction wouldn't actually be better.
Once again, if you're often sad or are a chronic pessimist, I wouldn't recommend.
