Cafe Flesh
https://www.amazon.com/Cafe-Flesh-uncut/dp/B009JVUG4Q/
Sci-fi flick about a post-nuclear-apocalypse future in which most of the population is no longer able to perform sexually (sex-negatives) and the few who can perform (sex-positives) are forced by the government to do so in public stage shows for the vicarious amusement of sex-negatives. Warning: Cafe Flesh has actual pornography scenes so if you object, this isn't for you. But it's collectible, expensive and hard to find, so this will not likely be a problem for most.

Man Bites Dog
https://www.amazon.com/Man-Bites-Dog-Criterion-Collection/dp/B00006FMCS
A documentary film crew follows a serial killer as he murders his victims. He eventually draws the crew into participating in his crimes. A metaphor about journalistic ethics, much needed in this day and age.

Vastly under-rated, his work in Backdraft and Tombstone was Oscar level stuff (and he never slapped anybody - well except for the bully dealer in Tombstone).
And he's been with Goldie Hawn for decades, faithfully - how refreshing.
And my grown daughter and I still watch "Big Trouble in Little China" once in a while - one of her favorite movies when younger.
