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

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago

Same with Kids. Perfect execution of a theme so awful I never want to go near it again.

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I did watch it again during the pandemic for the first time in many many many years. Still a big NOPE film.

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

ASS TO ASS!

Also the scene where Jared Leto's friend is shooting up makes my skin crawl.

[-] degrix@lemmy.hqueue.dev 3 points 1 year ago

The ending scene for the mother is what gets me every time.

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.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Grave of the fireflies

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

[-] degrix@lemmy.hqueue.dev 3 points 1 year ago

It’s on my rewatch list since it’s been about twenty years, but I still can’t bring myself to doing so.

[-] canthidium@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same. It's my favorite Ghibli film, but I have to get myself in the right headspace to be broken by it again.

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

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.

A Serbian Film.

Brazil (1985, Terry Gilliam)

[-] CraizzUK@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Rottcodd@lemmy.ninja 5 points 1 year ago

Happiness - Todd Solondz

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

[-] mytornadoisresting@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Came here to say this one. I really want to revisit this one as it’s been prob close to 20 years since my first viewing.

[-] kartoos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] venoft@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Blank_Spacer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah it’s totally fucked up and leaves you sad and angry. Never gonna rewatch it.

[-] Mana@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Hobo With a Shotgun

[-] oocdc2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MixBlender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ichi the killer

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] chtk@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Irreversible

[-] Ghururgh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Gummo, Man bites dog, Bad boy Bubby,

[-] Walter_Ego@lemmy.arpatubes.net 1 points 1 year ago

bubby got pizza for cat

[-] newcolour@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

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

Man, war is fucked up…

[-] LeylaaLovee@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Dear Zachary: A Letter To A Son About His Father.

[-] Barbacamanitu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
