It's interesting how many girls have added 'natural born killers' as one of their favorite movie... Personally, I hated it, just like I FUCKING HATE Oliver Stone, some ageing hippy who hasn't quite shaken off the 60s bug and is still trying to push his acid-tinted visions onto the modern era. You want to see that genre done well (by "genre" I mean ultraviolence): Clockwork Orange, goes without saying..a classic.
But if you want to go for modern films, rent IRREVERSIBLE, by Gaspar Noe (French). Soundtrack by one-half of Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter, with Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci, now there's ultraviolence treated with an almost clinical eye, an eye that says (did that sound funny?) "yes, ladies and gentlemen, when pushed to the limits man can be one contrary motherfucker."
Oliver Stone, on the other hand, tells you: here is my vision, I bestow it upon you in all of its self-serving glory. Lap it up, bitches.
Oh, and there's also Baise-moi, another French movie (is this starting to reflect poorly on me and my compatriots?)..
