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)
Itβs on my rewatch list since itβs been about twenty years, but I still canβt bring myself to doing so.
Hmmm ok never heard of this one. Will have to add it to the list.
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.
A Serbian Film.
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.
Came here to say this one. I really want to revisit this one as itβs been prob close to 20 years since my first viewing.
This was the first movie I thought of too! I saw it when it was released in an art house theatre. I didnβt know much about it, and apparently most of the audience didnβt either. Once the film got to that scene where the guy buys a teen boy magazine and climbs into the back of the car toβ¦you knowβ¦.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.
Gummo, Man bites dog, Bad boy Bubby,
"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.
Dear Zachary: A Letter To A Son About His Father.
Grave of the Fireflies. A masterpiece that canβt be seen more than once.
Man, war is fucked upβ¦
