Hello aberrant film viewers!
For those of you who still watch this community, I just wanted to post about how I went through and cataloged most of the past entries in the Memories section of this community.
I put them into two categories:
When members have posted about three or fewer films, I have listed them by name and date the film was made under:
Aberrant Film Posts
When members have made film lists that are more than three films in a post, I put them under:
Aberrant Film Posts- Member Lists
I decided to do this because of
carabosse's comment on this entry about people might be wary of posting films that have already been covered. This is not to say you can't post about films that are already been discussed (since the member lists would take ages to go through each one) but if you want to know if it has been already, or if you're looking for a list of awesome films to check out- they are now archived in the Memories.
Looking forward to more post from you guys...
:)

The Edge of Heaven (2007)
Nejat seems disapproving about his widower father Ali's choice of prostitute Yeter for a live-in girlfriend. But he grows fond of her when he discovers she sends money home to Turkey for her daughter's university studies. Yeter's sudden death distances father and son. Nejat travels to Istanbul to search for Yeter's daughter Ayten. Political activist Ayten has fled the Turkish police and is already in Germany. She is befriended by a young woman, Lotte, who invites rebellious Ayten to stay in her home, a gesture not particularly pleasing to her conservative mother Susanne. When Ayten is arrested and her asylum plea is denied, she is deported and imprisoned in Turkey. Lotte travels to Turkey,where she gets caught up in the seemingly hopeless situation of freeing Ayten.

Need your help.
Ok folks, I need your help. I was at the local gay after hours dance bar Berlin last night dancing on a giant cube. It was fun, but thats beside the point, they were playing a film on all the television screens, but of course with no sound.
From what I can gather there is a girl who looks a little like Alyssa Milano in some kind of yellow leotard type thing being wheeled around from place to place where fucked up things happen. The only other character I can really remember was a mean looking foreign lady with a black bob haircut and she seemed to be telling her to do things.
The only scene I can remember in detail was the main character was at this giant wall and it was if it was made out of flesh. Bodies were pushing up against it and then the wall grew a tongue. She went to lick the tongue and then stuck it all in her mouth and it grew until the tongue was the size of her. This was followed by massive amounts of clear liquid seeping from some hole in the wall, I assume this was an orgasm.
Edited to add - I remember one more scene. The black bobbed lady then told her to go up to a scarecrow on a stick, much like the wizard of oz. The main character then unzips his pants and starts pulling out massive amounts of straw as the scarecrow looks pleasured. She then sticks her entire arm into his pants. She then screams and pulls out her hand and it is badly burned.
I do apologize in advance for this off the wall post, but if anyone has any idea, I'd love to know.

En La Cama (2005)
Director Matias Bize's erotic chamber piece details the debauched encounter between two strangers as they retreat to a seedy hotel room for an unbridled night of passion, only to find their personal boundaries and preconceptions about one another challenged as they attempt to get better acquainted. They've been as intimate as two people can be without even knowing each other's names, but now that the initial flames of passion have burnt out, it's time for these two lost souls to truly connect. Putting on their clothes as they lay their souls bare, these two intimate strangers cautiously mix truth with deception to create a tangled web of personal intrigue. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Bad Boy Bubby
Australian director Rolf de Heer's bizarre parable of innocence and corruption, belief and redemption, paints a decidedly grim picture while allowing hints of optimistic humanism to filter through. Bad Boy Bubby (Nicholas Hope) is a 35-year-old manchild, confined his whole life by his domineering mother--who uses him for sex--to a two-room tenement apartment. She has convinced Bubby that the air outside is poisonous, donning a gas mask every time she leaves; all this changes when Bubby's father, a priest who has lost his religion, shows up. His presence both demonstrates the possibility of breathing the air outside, and inspires Bubby to an act of violence that upsets his enclosed world. Finding himself out on the street, the antisocial, nearly mute Bubby must now encounter society, and his adventures run the gamut from poignant and funny to grim and brutal. He is seduced by a Salvation Army worker, adopted by a rock band with whom he performs, imprisoned, raped, and saved again. An incredibly unique and eccentric film, BAD BOY BUBBY inspired some controversy upon its release, with some judging its themes so dark as to be unethical. But this verdict belies the compassion and empathy latent in the treatment, which expands the piece to encompass both disillusionment with society, as well as hope for humanity. The film noir style presents a gritty, raw view of a corrupt world, presented through honest, innocent eyes

Happy 5 years to 
aberrantfilms!
Five years ago, the lovely
Darla created this community as a way for people to discuss films that are aberrant in style, subject, or just different from the usual mainstream films.
So to celebrate, please post at least one aberrant film you'd like to recommend to the community!
As a co-moderator, I'd like to keep this community somewhat alive, even though Livejournal is now somewhat dead thanks to *other* blogging websites that shall remain unnamed. I know you guys are out there, so, if you can read this, take a second to just post the title or even a few sentences about the movie you'd like to recommend. We'd love to hear from you!

Angela (1996)
This eerily beautiful film stars Miranda Stuart Rhyne as Angela, a young girl trying to cope with her family's falling apart. Her mother (Anna Thomson) has drastic mood shifts that bring her from manic happiness to utter misery. Her father (John Ventimiglia) tries to hold everyone together, but Mae's vacillations are becoming more than he can manage. Adrift, Angela and her little sister concoct magical rituals and have visions of fallen angels and the Virgin Mary; reading signs in the way a towel falls off a chair or a tool falls off a truck, they set off to find their way to heaven. Angela succeeds because of writer-director Rebecca Miller's keen understanding of childhood, when imagination and reality are fluid and fantasies can exert a potent influence over a child's life. An unsettling and affecting movie, with an excellent performance by Rhyne.
