A Complete History of My Sexual Failures [DVD]
3.  A Complete History of My Sexual Failures [DVD] DVD ~ Complete History of My Sexual Failures

8.  Aileen: Life and Death of A Serial Killer [DVD] [2003] DVD ~ Aileen Wuornos

Touching The Void [DVD]
10.  Touching The Void [DVD] 
The list author says:

Out
13.  Out by Natsuo Kirino
The list author says:
  "A great thriller. Also one of the most insightful descriptions of personality, human motivations and the mundane suffering of women. The grit of real life, sprayed with a layer of the macabre."
£5.59   Used & New from: £0.01

Atomised
14.  Atomised by Michel Houellebecq
The list author says:
  "This book puts into words so many aspects of the ugly side of everyday life which are universally unspoken. Painfully, disturbingly stark and detatched. Both cruel and sympathetic to issues of gender."
£6.29   Used & New from: £0.01

Portnoy's Complaint
15.  Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth
The list author says:
  "Not for the easily offended. An American/Jewish/male perspective on neurosis and repressed sexuality. Bloody funny too."
£6.29   Used & New from: £0.01

In Treatment Season 1 (HBO) [DVD]
16.  In Treatment Season 1 (HBO) [DVD] DVD ~ Gabriel Byrne
The list author says:
  "Ok, another I'm yet to get around to, in time, but just read the blurb. It's from HBO (who have reinvented TV, for the better) and comes highly recommended by a psychiatric colleague."
£19.07   Used & New from: £16.00

Memento [2000] [DVD]
17.  Memento [2000] [DVD] DVD ~ Guy Pearce
The list author says:
  "The film that redefined cinematic narrative. Ok, superficially an Oliver Sacksian neurology case, but also a portrait of the greatest of deceptions."
£4.58   Used & New from: £1.07

Changeling [DVD]
18.  Changeling [DVD] DVD ~ Angelina Jolie
The list author says:

A Scanner Darkly [DVD] [2006]
19.  A Scanner Darkly [DVD] [2006] DVD ~ Keanu Reeves
The list author says:
  "This list would be incomplete without a P. K. Dick story, one of the better translations of his writing. See also Blade Runner, Total Recall, The Adjustment Bureau, Minority Report, Next, Paycheck"

Chopper [2000] [DVD]
20.  Chopper [2000] [DVD] DVD ~ Eric Bana
The list author says:
  "A portrait of psychopathy, not romanticised Hannibal Lecter psychopathy, the real deal, sort of. If you have the stomach progress to 'Snowtown', infinitely more disturbing, and an entirely true story."
£2.44   Used & New from: £0.98

Pan's Labyrinth [DVD] [2006]
21.  Pan's Labyrinth [DVD] [2006] DVD ~ Ivana Baquero
The list author says:
  "Faerie tales as an escape from the harshness of the real world, but also a reflection of that same horror. Dark."

Moon [DVD] [2009]
22.  Moon [DVD] [2009] DVD ~ Sam Rockwell
The list author says:
  "A tribute  to sci-fi and to psychological thrillers examining the self. You'll find it a great creeper, or too slow."
£3.89   Used & New from: £0.99

Hard Candy [DVD]
23.  Hard Candy [DVD] DVD ~ Patrick Wilsson
The list author says:
  "Juno this is not. Don't read the blurb, go in cold (so long as you're not squeamish). See also The Woodsman for a more sympathetic view of paedophilia."
£4.37   Used & New from: £0.58

Requiem For A Dream [DVD] [2001]
24.  Requiem For A Dream [DVD] [2001] DVD ~ Ellen Burstyn
The list author says:
  "One word - Brutal. Addiction as seen from 3, quite different perspectives. I emerged from this feeling traumatised, but wiser. Forget Trainspotting."
