Dr. Caligari (1989, Sayadian)
I caught this on shudder, then ordered the blu-ray (with interviews / commentary). Director was a fucking visionary. Like a synthesis of Videodrome and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, with a little early John Waters-esque campy filth, obvious pornography influence and a theatrical absurdity all its own. Hot, hilarious, eerie and extremely creative (worth just having on in the background for costumes, art direction, sets, practical effects). I want more people to see this unclassifiable time capsule that still feels radical today (even if the references are a bit dated)...
