Rating: ★★★★☆ (7.8/10)
Director: Martin Schaeffer
Runtime: 103 minutes (or infinite, depending on viewing conditions)
Genre: Psychological Horror/Comedy
A businessman finds himself trapped in an endless Tuesday, but each repetition becomes progressively more surreal as objects in his home grow slightly larger each day while everyone insists nothing has changed.

  • Richard Jenkins as Howard Melton
  • Catherine O'Hara as Diane Melton
  • John Lithgow as The Mailman
  • Fred Willard as Boss

USER REVIEWS:

MidwestMovieFan462 (11/12/1995):

MY VHS COPY OF THIS MOVIE SEEMS BROKEN??? I've watched it 4 times now and each time I swear the coffee mug in the breakfast scene gets bigger. I measured it with a ruler against my TV screen and I KNOW I'm right. My wife says I'm being ridiculous but I KNOW what I saw. Anyone else notice this phenomenon???? 5/5 stars, can't stop watching.

FilmScholar88 (02/26/1997):

Schaeffer's masterpiece of temporal discontinuity perfectly captures the existential dread of corporate America. The subtle enlargement of everyday objects (particularly the stapler, which increases by exactly 1.7% each "day") serves as a brilliant metaphor for the growing weight of capitalist expectations. Note that viewers who watch the film on a Tuesday report significantly higher anxiety levels for up to 3 weeks afterward. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OFFICE WORKERS.

Dial T for Teeth

Dial T for Teeth (1991)

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (6.2/10)
Director: David Cronenberg
Runtime: 96 minutes
Genre: Body Horror/Mystery
A dentist discovers a patient whose teeth can pick up radio signals from another dimension. When government agents become involved, he must decide whether to extract the interdimensional wisdom teeth or listen to their warnings.
Cast:
  • Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Raymond Pierce
  • Laura Dern as Agent Sarah Maxwell
  • Christopher Lloyd as Patient #7
  • Kathy Bates as Dental Receptionist

MOVIE TRIVIA:

  • The "tooth radio" effects were achieved using actual dental X-rays converted to sound waves.
  • Three dental technicians quit during production due to "disturbing dreams."
  • Audiences reported increased tooth sensitivity for up to 72 hours after viewing.

USER REVIEWS:

DentalStudent51 (05/14/1992):

I watched this movie the night before my final dental anatomy exam and I FAILED. The anatomically correct molars in the climactic extraction scene have ruined actual teeth for me forever. I can now only see teeth as potential receivers of interdimensional signals. My professor says this is "concerning" but I know the truth now. When patient #7 says "the molars know when the others are coming," I felt that in my core. My own fillings vibrated during the movie. 2/5 stars because I no longer want to be a dentist.

HorrorHound77 (08/04/1996):

Finally tracked down a VHS copy after searching for YEARS. The infamous "wisdom tooth transmission" scene was actually LONGER than in the theatrical cut - nearly 7 minutes of uninterrupted dental drilling while overlapping voices whisper coordinates. I wrote them all down and they point to a location in the Pacific Ocean. I've contacted several oceanographic institutes but they all stopped responding to my letters. Also, does anyone else taste metal when the Patient #7 smiles in the third act? 5/5 stars, life-changing.

The Window Across Time

The Window Across Time (1976)

Rating: ★★★★★ (9.2/10)
Director: Werner Herzog
Runtime: 117 minutes
Genre: Drama/Science Fiction
A reclusive mathematician discovers his apartment window sometimes shows events that happened 20 years in the past, but finds he can only watch, never interact—until he sees his younger self through the glass.
Cast:
  • Max von Sydow as Dr. Elias Stern (older)
  • Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Elias Stern (younger)
  • Liv Ullmann as Anna
  • Bruno Ganz as The Landlord

MOVIE TRIVIA:

  • Herzog allegedly filmed each "past" scene exactly 20 years before the corresponding "present" scenes.
  • The window glass used in production was salvaged from a 17th-century German cathedral.
  • The complex mathematical equations visible in Dr. Stern's notebooks are actual temporal physics formulas contributed by a Nobel Prize candidate who requested anonymity.

USER REVIEWS:

CinematicPhilosopher (10/31/1994):

Herzog's forgotten masterpiece deserves wider recognition. I've watched it 13 times and each viewing reveals new details in the background of the window scenes. On my last viewing, I noticed a calendar in young Stern's apartment showing October 1994 - THE EXACT MONTH I WAS WATCHING THE FILM. When I looked up from my VCR to my own apartment window, I briefly saw a figure that looked disturbingly like an older version of myself looking in. I have since covered all windows in my home with aluminum foil. 5/5 stars for literally altering my perception of reality.

TimeSlipTheories (07/19/1996):

Has anyone else noticed that the reflection of the clock in the old window is ALWAYS showing 3:17, regardless of the actual time in the scene? I've mapped every appearance of the clock and created a complex geometric pattern that, when overlaid on a map of central Europe, perfectly aligns with sites of unexplained temporal anomalies reported between 1976-1996. Also, the scene where older Stern attempts to write messages backward for his younger self to read contains an encoded warning about events set to occur in March 2027. 4/5 stars, deducted one star because my dreams are now chronologically non-linear.

Breadman

Breadman (1989)

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (4.6/10)
Director: Tim Burton
Runtime: 94 minutes
Genre: Dark Fantasy/Comedy
Following a bakery accident involving experimental yeast, a shy baker gradually transforms into a man made entirely of bread who must consume other baked goods to maintain his form.
Cast:
  • Johnny Depp as Harold Miller/Breadman
  • Winona Ryder as Emily Collins
  • Christopher Walken as Dr. Sourdough
  • Danny DeVito as Mayor Crumble

MOVIE TRIVIA:

  • The Breadman costume required Depp to be covered in 17 different types of actual bread dough that had to be reapplied every 30 minutes.
  • The film's production consumed over 3,000 loaves of bread and required a team of 12 bakers working around the clock.
  • Audiences were given sourdough starter kits at the premiere but the practice was discontinued after multiple reports of "aggressive growth."

USER REVIEWS:

MidnightMovieManiac (03/09/1990):

I worked at a bakery when this movie came out and had to quit my job. The scene where Breadman absorbs the entire wedding cake by merging with it made me physically ill. I can never look at rising dough the same way again. Do NOT watch this while eating any wheat products. The sound design during the transformation scenes—all those squishing and bubbling noises—haunts my dreams. I've been gluten-free since seeing this film. 1/5 stars, too traumatizing.

BurtonFanatic666 (12/16/1995):

The most UNDERRATED Burton film! The metaphor of a man literally becoming what he creates is brilliant. My local video store's copy has a weird mold growing on the tape case that smells exactly like sourdough. The clerk says it's the only tape in the store with this issue, even after multiple replacements of the case. After my 7th viewing, I noticed what appears to be breadcrumbs coming out of my VCR, though no one else in my family sees them. The scene where Harold kneads his own arm back on after the accident makes me hungry in a way I don't want to examine too closely. 5/5 stars, absolutely delicious filmmaking.

The Echo Chamber

The Echo Chamber (1987)

Rating: ★★★★☆ (7.4/10)
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Runtime: 152 minutes
Genre: Psychological Thriller
An acoustics engineer discovers a room in which sound echoes never fade but instead gain clarity with each repetition, eventually revealing voices and conversations that never occurred in the room.
Cast:
  • Dustin Hoffman as Dr. Samuel Reeves
  • Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Claire Harper
  • Anthony Hopkins as Institute Director
  • Danny Glover as Security Chief Morris

MOVIE TRIVIA:

  • Kubrick allegedly built a special sound stage that could produce echoes lasting for 45 minutes.
  • The film's audio was mixed in a way that causes certain dialogue to become clearer with repeated viewings.
  • After test screenings, 23% of audience members reported hearing additional dialogue when watching the film alone versus in a crowded theater.

USER REVIEWS:

SoundDesignEnthusiast (04/22/1992):

As an audio engineer, I can confirm that the acoustic principles in this film are IMPOSSIBLE, yet my own experiments since watching have yielded...concerning results. I recorded silence in my bathroom for 24 hours, then amplified and filtered the recording. At exactly the 17:34:12 mark, there's clearly audible speech that I've now played for multiple colleagues who all hear different words. I've written to Kubrick three times but received no response. My wife says the bathroom is now off-limits after 9pm because "the tiles are listening." 4/5 stars, would be 5 but my home is now acoustically compromised.

KubrickObsessive (09/03/1996):

I've watched this 26 times with headphones and have documented 158 distinct background voices that are NOT listed in the credits or accounted for in the script. The scene at 1:22:47 where Dr. Reeves sits alone in the chamber contains whispers that, when isolated and reversed, contain MY FULL NAME AND ADDRESS despite this film being made when I was 7 years old and living in another country. I've mapped the architectural specifications of the chamber and discovered it's mathematically equivalent to the inside of a human ear canal scaled up 212 times. 5/5 stars, but I now live in a completely soundproofed apartment.

Pixel Fever

Pixel Fever (1994)

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (6.9/10)
Director: Wes Craven
Runtime: 104 minutes
Genre: Techno-Horror
A computer programmer discovers that the characters in the video game he's developing have become self-aware and are altering their code to escape into other software and eventually into the real world through computer screens.
Cast:
  • Matthew Lillard as Kevin Porter
  • Fairuza Balk as Tina Rodriguez
  • Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Alan Turing (the AI)
  • Clancy Brown as CEO Whitmore

MOVIE TRIVIA:

  • The first film to use real computer code as dialogue, with programmers hired to write functioning escape algorithms.
  • Several arcade cabinets used in filming allegedly malfunctioned permanently after the production.
  • The film's VHS release contains hidden data that, when viewed through a spectrograph, reveals a playable text adventure game.

USER REVIEWS:

CRT_Monitor_Enthusiast (11/30/1994):

DO NOT PAUSE THIS MOVIE AT 1:14:22. I repeat, DO NOT PAUSE at the moment when the main character's monitor displays the "escape routine" code. I did this on my VHS copy and my TV started displaying strange pixel patterns even AFTER I ejected the tape. Had to unplug the set for 48 hours to reset it. When I turned it back on, all faces on any channel had subtle pixel distortions around the eyes. My Sega Genesis also stopped working the same day. Coincidence? 3/5 stars, technically impressive but possibly dangerous to home electronics.

TechnoPhobe95 (02/17/1996):

After watching this film, I disconnected all my electronics for a week. The scene where pixels start emerging from the monitor as tiny, insect-like entities that reassemble into the game character gave me SEVERE technophobia. I've since noticed that when I take photos with my Polaroid camera, sometimes there are extra pixels in the dark areas that appear to move when viewed peripherally. The ASCII face that briefly appears at 0:56:17 has shown up in my Windows 95 startup sequence TWICE now. I've reinstalled the OS but it keeps happening. 5/5 stars for ruining technology for me forever. Would give zero stars if possible.

The Bottomless Salad

The Bottomless Salad (1985)

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (6.1/10)
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Runtime: 118 minutes
Genre: Surreal Comedy/Drama
In a small-town diner, a man orders the house salad and discovers it cannot be finished—each forkful reveals new ingredients beneath, eventually including items that shouldn't exist in a salad, or in reality itself.
Cast:
  • Harry Dean Stanton as Raymond Booth
  • Shelley Duvall as Waitress Martha
  • Tom Waits as Chef Earl
  • Crispin Glover as Health Inspector

MOVIE TRIVIA:

  • The production used over 1,200 pounds of salad ingredients, including 84 items never before used in salads.
  • The 11-minute continuous shot of the salad bowl was achieved without camera tricks or edits.
  • Several actors refused to eat from the prop salad, claiming it "made sounds" when the cameras weren't rolling.

USER REVIEWS:

CulinaryNightmare (07/08/1988):

I was a line cook when this film released and it RUINED my career. I cannot prepare salads anymore. The sequence where Raymond finds his childhood photographs inside a cherry tomato gave me recurring nightmares. I've tried to recreate the diner's house dressing recipe 37 times and each batch tastes like a different, indescribable flavor. My local VHS rental place claims I've never returned their copy despite me having the receipt proving I did. Every time I go back, they have a new copy on the shelf. 2/5 stars, avoid watching if you work in food service.

ArtHouseAddict (12/04/1996):

Jarmusch's meditation on infinity and consumption is grossly underappreciated. I've watched this 9 times and noticed the salad ingredients appear in a Fibonacci sequence until the 87-minute mark, when they begin appearing in reverse chronological order of their agricultural domestication. The sound design subtly includes the noise of a fork scraping porcelain even during scenes with no salad present. After my last viewing, I found an arugula leaf inside my sealed VHS case, though I haven't purchased greens in months. 5/5 stars, pairs well with actual salad consumption during viewing, though appetite loss may occur at the watch/keys/baby tooth sequence.

The Third Twin

The Third Twin (1992)

Rating: ★★★★☆ (7.9/10)
Director: David Lynch
Runtime: 126 minutes
Genre: Mystery/Supernatural Thriller
Identical twins discover evidence of a third sibling they have no memory of, whose existence seems to be
