Hands down, Requiem for a Dream. That movie is so good but can only really be watched once.

    The french original of Martyrs. That movie really lived in my head for some days.

    I think you should see it without knowing anything.

    Just be sure that you can handle some fucked up shit.

    Grave of the fireflies

    Even worse, it's based on a true story. (The author preferred the movie's ending)

    It's an incredible movie. I'm not sure how much you should know before going in, but I'll say this: Don't be fooled by the fact that it's animated - by the same studio as "My Neighbor Totoro". (The two movies played as a double feature because not showing something lighthearted after Grave of the Fireflies would have been criminal negligence.) And the other comments are right - It's not something you're likely to be able to watch again anytime soon.

    I've never seen it but fuck Human Centipede. I read it on Wikipedia and it still fucked me up

    Probably The Mist, just based on the ending. I still think about it to this day

    Happiness - Todd Solondz

    It's the dark, seedy, perverted underbelly of the American dream, equal parts funny and creepy, and brilliantly cast and acted.

    This was the first movie I thought of too! I saw it when it was released in an art house theatre. I didn’t know much about it, and apparently most of the audience didn’t either. Once the film got to that scene where the guy buys a teen boy magazine and climbs into the back of the car to…you know….a bunch of people just got up and walked out!

    The Road. That's the most depressing film I've ever watched.

    Triangle, it's a little known film that I have on my NAS and finally saw it one day. I won't say much about it, but see it.

    "Midnight Cowboy": great performances, great writing, profound ending, never want to watch it again.

    I don't know if I would call it best, but the most emotionally scarring and draining movie I have ever seen was Irreversible.

    Grave of the Fireflies. A masterpiece that can’t be seen more than once.

    Man, war is fucked up…
