I didn't plan to get into more film challenges for 2026, but since both of those challenges are about cult and horror, this one appealed for the opportunity to fill in some notable gaps in my High Art watches; all but three of the films on this list are first times for me. And that includes The Falls, Dreams and Sexy Beast.

Having never seen Tim Robinson or Black Mirror before, I'm rather pointing and squinting to match the tone of the prompt but I think I've made a decent fist of it. I'm definitely stepping out of my comfort zone!
