    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.

    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.

      Came here for martyrs, most of it is still burned into my brain.

      I was going to watch it again, and then I was like I’m pretty sure I can remember this exactly from beginning to end still.

      OP said best fucked up, not just fucked up.

      I think the most disturbing scene for me was actually the ending, made me feel more sick than the baby scene.

      A friend told me about it in all of its grotesque details. I was a bit scared for her after that and wondered if she was right in her mind.

    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!

        Yeah… that’s the first moment when the mask starts to slip, and you realize you’re in for something entirely different than what it initially appeared to be.

    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.
