	2LDK (2002)
Two actresses spend the length of the movie fighting with power tools in a small apartment.
	Battle Royale (2001)
Pretty much perfect. Like "Lord of the Flies" with mchine guns. Read the book too!
	Blind Beast (1969)
Starts innocently enough but wait for the third act.
	Branded to Kill (Criterion Collection) (1967)
Who wants to sniff some rice?
	Double Suicide (Criterion Collection) (1969)
It's not psychotronic but this avant garde take on a traditional bunraku puppet play would make a great double feature with any other film on this list.
	Female Convict Scorpion - Jailhouse 41 (1972)			Not Rated
The best genre movie ever made. Which genre? All of them.
	Lady Snowblood (1973)			Not Rated
Perfect vengeance with the most beautiful woman in the world, Meiko Kaji.
	Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell (1973)			Not Rated
The final and most bombastic of the Lone Wolf and Cub films. All you need to know: ninjas on skis.
	Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter (1970)			Not Rated
Meiko Kaji gets all JD and takes on racism in 1970 Okinawa.
	Visitor Q (2001)			Not Rated
Miike, love him or hate him, but you can't deny the power of this film.
	Love & Pop (1998)
Outrageous handheld camera angles highlight this take on "compensated dating."
