but I'd also want to include

Closer to the Edge
Skeletons

Yeah, exactly.  I'm not throwing it in there like "the room best masterpiece evah lol", it's genuinely one of the most uniquely fascinating films I've ever seen, and endlessly watchable.  My life is immensely enriched for having The Room in it.
