Crash [1997]Crash [1997]

Pasolini's amazing depiction of fascism. Lauded by the Industrialists with tributes by Coil and Scott Walker. Psychic Television in '75.
Apocalypse Now Redux [1979]Apocalypse Now Redux [1979]

Surrealism was a big influence on the Industrialists and TG frontman Genesis P.Orridge has the teeth to prove it. Dreams can indeed be less sweet.

Cocteau classic and a modern retelling of the Orpheus fable.
Clockwork Orange [1972]Clockwork Orange [1972]

Big influence on music in general. The mind control sequences are reminiscent of a Psychic TV video.
Performance [1970]Performance [1970]
Buy used from: £2.12
Roeg and Cammell classic and definitely a landscape fertile for any budding Industrialist. Unfortunately unavailable on DVD at the moment but a release is imminent.
The Realm Of The Senses [1976]The Realm Of The Senses [1976]
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £6.50

Un Chant D'Amour [1950]Un Chant D'Amour [1950]

No DVD release as yet but Anger's mix of mayhem and magick on the great Scorpio Rising is undoubtedly an influence on any budding industrialist
Audition (Collector's Edition) [2001]Audition (Collector's Edition) [2001]
Buy used from: £6.50
Fantastic film from the other Takeshi, and a worthy addition to any Industrial list.
Hellraiser [1987]Hellraiser [1987]
Buy new: £14.99 / Used from: £1.65
Not my cup of tea but Coil did produce a soundtrack which was considered even more scary than the film by the powers that be.
Brazil [1985]Brazil [1985]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.59
The 1984 novel is part of the Industrial fabric but the film doesn't cut it for me. Try this Kafkaesque version instead.
