Oooo. This should make for a great must watch list.

I'm kind of partial to Phantom of the Paradise. Like it much more than Rocky Horror.

Accumulator 1 (1994) - an amazing film but incredibly obscure. definitely worth a watch if you can find it.

Olda is tired, exhausted, his life force sucked nearly dry. Fortunately a mysterious healer teaches him how to recharge his energy by tuning into nature, art, people, and sex. Yet it seems that somewhere out there is a deranged spirit world where Olda’s hungry doppelganger lives by absorbing the energy of his human counterpart. And he’s not the only one… To find out why our hero must wield an arsenal of TV remotes and keep a cartload of timber handy for mortal combat with the ravenous of the nether-dimension, tune your mind to this science-fiction spectacle. You will never view Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or going to the dentist) the same way again.
