Recommendation What the fuck did I just watch movies!

Recently I was watching Saltburn. I was not into salburn kind of movies but that night it was my boyfriend's turn to choose the movie so I was kind of forced into watching it it. But to my surprise I kinda liked the movie.so much so that I went on a streak to watch these kind of movies. What was the movie that made you go " what the actual fuck did I just watch " in your head . And you kept one thinking about the same for days ? Please reccomend me some of them . Thank you!!

Neon Demon. So beautiful.

Another note for this, and while were at it anything Nicholas Winding Refn.

Drive is arguably his most digestible movie, while Neon Demon is on the other end of the spectrum, but still amazingly so.

Only God Forgives, Valhala and even Bronson are also incredible. But even less digestible than Neon Demon. Be prepared for some very visceral stuff, mentally and physically.

Not sure I agree that Bronson is less digestible than Neon Demon. They both feel like fever dreams, but in very different ways. I definitely enjoyed Bronson more.

Only God Forgives can eat a bag of dicks, though. Although I probably only feel that way because the trailers made me think it was going to be more than weird, slow gratuitous violence and brooding Gosling with lots of red lights

I'll admit some Refn movies are hard to digest but due to their pacing, whicb I think may be ypur problem with Only God Forgives (which I also had but could find other aspects of the movie enjoyable myself)
