    I really wanted to like They Live especially after having watched The Pervert's Guide to Cinema. Similar with The Thing which is also directed by John Carpenter. Both movies start really strong and then just descend into pointless violence. Anyway, I digress ...

    My own picks would be HyperNormalisation, The Pervert's Guide to Cinema, and Koyaanisqatsi

    He has a talent for getting attention and seems to enjoy it. But to call him a troll would be a great disservice to his work. His ideas are very "flammable" though, so I can understand you seeing him as troll.

    Perhaps best approach to Žižek is through his film commentaries. Watch The Pervert's Guide To Cinema.
