Films that have stayed with you

[MattyWilbur]

We need to talk about Kevin (the book too)
The hand that rocks the cradle.
The Wicker Man.
Audition.
Midsommar.

Remains of the day

In the Heat of the Night
Bullitt
Room with a View
Somewhere in Time
Gallipoli
28 Days later
The Lake House

The Eichmann Show
Hard Candy
Sinister

Oh yes @Pyewhacket - yes, Gallipoli. I remember watching this when I was about 13 and it made me weep. I didn’t expect to enjoy a war film. But Peter Weir was a great director

Apocalypse now.

Life is beautiful
The lovely bones

Fox catcher. I found it so unsettling and I kept thinking about it for a good few weeks after seeing it.

A Beast Of No Nation. Unapologetically harrowing and honest portrayal of child soldiers in West Africa. Never cried so much at a closing scene in my life.

Nil by mouth
Accused
The hand that rocks the cradle

johnny got his gun, watched it as a teen, god its awful.
Love mettalica but can't watch the video for one, they wrote it about the film and use parts. Of the film.

seven samurai
jules et jim

great films

Some oldies...

The Champ
Kramer vs Kramer

Gosh, so many. Off the top of my head:

Tokyo Story - makes me bawl every time
Raise the Red Lantern
In the Mood for Love
The Double Life of Veronique
The Gate of Heavenly Peace - an utterly gripping documentary about the Tiananmen massacre.
Fanny and Alexander
Un Coeur en Hiver
Days of Heaven

The Lovely Bones

Eden Lake, horrible scenes in that.

Last House on the Left

I spit on your Grave which I accidentally watched one night as it automatically came on after another movie. Horrible.

Breaking the Waves
Once Were Warriors

I guess harrowing depictions of abusive relationships are what does it for me.

Picnic at Hanging Rock
Requiem for a Dream
Midsommar
Lost Highway
Never Let Me Go
A Beautiful Mind

All of those have stayed with me.

The Platform

The year of living dangerously.
It's a wonderful life.
This happy breed.

Compliance

It's horrifying that it's a true story, and I often wonder how many other times he did it, or something similar has happened.

I found wolf creek really bloody horrific

I've just read up on the true story behind compliance 😱

@Pinkflipflop85 I know!! It's almost too unbelievable to make up isn't it!

Brokeback Mountain it is just a beautiful love story, with such a sad ending. Made even worse by Heath Ledger dying so young as well.

Grave of the Fireflies. Animation, heartbreakingly beautiful.

This thread is good but why so many sad, heavy films?
I loved "Be kind, rewind". Completely understated. And so happy.
