The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven’t been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.
The Secret Of Nimh
Requiem For A Dream
Dancer In The Dark
Grave Of The Fireflies
Life of others (Das leben der anderen)
Revolutionary Road
When I say ‘favourite’, I mean it’s the most compelling, devastating, truthful movie I’ve ever seen that I was transfixed by for it’s entire duration, and never want to see again.
I’ve been on job seeker’s allowance. I’ve suffered the indignity of the weekly visits to the job centre to be sneered at for not applying for an adequate number of jobs, of for not just accepting the first shitty delivery jobs on the list. But I was lucky enough to be healthy. I can’t imagine having to deal with all that shit while also being sick.
Lilya 4-ever. So sad. So excellent…
Happiness (1998) is extremely dark and very funny at the same time
The War Zone (1999) is relentlessly bleak and uncomfortable
The breakfast scene in that movie (happiness). Just … Fuck.
it’s full of those sort of sinking feelings but that’s a grim one
La la land. Not the whole movie but the scene at the end always makes me emotional. It reminds of my ex, who I spent almost 10 years with. What if our relationship worked out?
into the wild.
Tough call to just choose one.
Dead Man
Pan’s Labyrinth
Human Nature
Dead Man is incredible, love seeing it occasionally get the recognition it deserves.
Instructions Not Included.
Triangle.
Plus, it has replay value.
The Neverending Story
The Art of Racing in the Rain (and also the book). No matter how many times I watch it, I’m going to cry every time
Battle Royale (original Japanese version). The plot and development is horrifying in its own right, and after it ends and the credits rolled, the class picture is shown. It’s absolutely gutting (I bawled - I have never cried after a psychological horror film before or since this movie).
Beast of no nation. Watched it once, it was very good, don’t need to watch it again.
