Body: Alright so two cyber fellas certainly don't capture this group. My immediate thought was to put a still from 'Cannibal Holocaust' but I thought that might add a notion of genre bias and limitation on discussions. Then I thought to put up an actual picture of a grotesque corpse or summat, but realized that undermined the purpose of the community addressing the 'extreme' exclusively as represented in calculated film art. So I open the floor to submissions, and hopefully we'll get enough members that it could be proper voted on or summat.

Body: After reading through the list started nominating 'extreme' films, I realized it seems we have wildly varied opinions and ideas of what makes a film 'extreme'. For instance, I am not particularly disturbed by physical violence or sex, but the combination of the two makes me physically ill at times. Does 'extreme' serve as a synonym for 'disturbing' or 'uncomfortable'? Is a graphic portrayal even necessary, or does your imagination do the work in some cases? Curious to hear what everyone has to say...

Body: First off I would like to thank our host, Stinger839, for starting this most promising group! The subject matter of Extreme Cinema has a lot of potential for some interesting conversations. I think I will be here regularly talking about many movies that are near and dear to me! So let's start this thing off with a 'bang', shall we? Last night when my partner Phantasma-Gore-ia and I became the first people to join this group we quickly discovered that we were not able to list any films on the existing group list so I started my own list called Extreme Films... The first three movies I listed on here are legendary examples of Extreme Cinema. First off, Deliverance ... John Boorman's take on the infamous James Dickey novel is a phenomenal film that deals with man's survival instincts in the face of overwhelming odds. Although most people can not get past the homosexual rape scene and the subsequent murders and Burt Reynold's compound fracture of his thigh bone that would make ANYBODY wince! Yeah, this movie is a little bit over-the-top... Next on the list is Mandingo . This shocking story of slavery in the old South is nothing short of being 'politically incorrect' ... Former heavy-weight boxing champion Ken Norton stars as 'Mede', a Mandingo warrior who is captured and sold to a wealthy southern family and is trained to be a "fightin' nigger" who is forced to fight against other slaves for the betting pleasure of his owner. Sexual debauchery abounds in this perverse tale that ends with Mede being shot and boiled alive and 'pitchforked' to death! ... Next is Pretty Baby ... Brooke Shields made her movie debut in this shocker about prostitution in New Orleans. Susan Sarandon is a prostitute in a New Orleans brothel who becomes pregnant and decides to keep her child. That child (Brooke Shields) is raised in the brothel until she becomes 12 and then her virginity is auctioned off to the highest bidder. About this time she becomes the obsession of a French photographer named Bellocq who is actually more interested in photographing he young girl than he is in touching her! Although there is deffinately a physical relationship that is more hinted at than actually shown! The thing is this... 12 year old Brooke Shields spends much of this movie running around naked! This movie received a wide theatrical release back in the day and was a 'mainstream' movie! Today this movie would be called 'kiddie-porn' and it would be illegal to even THINK about it! That is pretty extreme in my book... Obviously no list of 'extreme' films would not be complete without the scariest, most disturbing Horror movie ever made so I must go now and add The Exorcist to my list as well as Nekromantik ! < GOR >

Body: If I could add or even link films on this site (my connection doesn't help), I'd be gleefully glad to add Ichi the Killer, High Tension, Bad Taste and Dead Alive (both early Peter Jackson efforts), gruesome German flicks Anatomy and Anatomy 2, Game 13: Game of Death (and pretty much everything else on the Dimension Extreme label as well as the Raw Feed and Maneater series)... Brain melting...back later...;).
