My personal one was the shining. I ended up watching it over 20 times before I was 12.

I'm spending a lot of time babysitting my nieces (9 & 11). I'm cis male and I would love to hear what women would answer or suggest for me to show them in a cool uncle role.

I was gonna answer Grave of the fireflies, which I watched in my twenties. Then I read the 'but you're glad that you did' so I can't say that movie.

But maybe Fullmetal Jacket? Tough movie for a 14 year old

Fun fact: Grave Of The Fireflies was originally a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro.

Interesting note. Thanks for this! :)

What the fuck, that had to be a trip! Either watch order would suck: ruin your mood before Totoro or get blindsided by the second feature.

I watched Full Metal Jacket this year at 34 and it was still pretty rough.
