The bolded ones I have meant to watch for years now, do you know them? This is from Tasteofcinema.com, what do you think of the list, anything to add?
Also without spoiling anything, what's your opinion on
The Neon Demon and
Only God Forgives? And on Nicolas Refn?

Only God Forgives was more of the same, only worse. As far as atmosphere, setting, music, etc... he's one of the very best... but his plot lines, dialogues, stories, concepts, since
Drive have been very poor, and quite banal. They are, however, worth watching, just for the compelling and hypnotic atmosphere.
Birth is a shit film that has somehow seen revisionist reviews recently trying to make it into some sort of cult classic. Glazer made a serious mis-step there imo, after
Sexy Beast. Kingsley was so brilliant in that one.
Under the Skin, though not my favourite (dislike Scarlett Johansson), was a much better return to form for Glazer, of what he did so well with his debut. Much less substance than a Kubrick work though.
Have no idea why Grand Budapest Hotel is on that list. Not at all
Kubrickian. Same with Interstellar.
Haven't yet watched
Beyond the Black Rainbow either.
It's a good list though. Some great films and some good films. Although I see Melancholia as more of a Tarkovsky inspired film, and don't really see Lynch's
Eraserhead as his most Kubrickian...
Mulholland Drive or
Blue Velvet would be closer to Kubrick imo.
I'd add... Anything by Gaspar Noe... especially Enter the Void. White Ribbon by Haneke. Vanishing Waves by Kristina Buozyte. Herzog's Aguirre... Embrace of the Serpent by Guerra is super Kubrickian too imo.
Feels very western like, the trailer, and not because of the music. Nice of them to use X-23, and the child version of her instead of jumping to the teen version too.
