The Machinists with Christian Bale

Well aside from an easy answer like Eraserhead, the most recent was the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Did the Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand characters go though with the plan that they were going to collaborate on at the end of the movie? I still think that creepy character who they may or may not have decided to kill was the one who raped and killed her daughter.

Jacobs Ladder

Eraserhead and other David Lynch stuff

There was also a film called Blue that was in the same experimental era as eraserhead.

My son went to film adn video college and wanted me to see Eraserhead I took my then new boyfriend to see it - neither of us could cope.

ErIc the vIkIng. Christians couldn't see the pagan stuff that the vIkIngs saw.

One Flew Over The Cooco's Nest.

Oh and Dead Poets Society fucked with me when he committed suicide. Wow. Big time.

I'd have to say A Clockwork Orange and it's been so long since I've seen it I've actually forgotten what it was about. But I remember being disturbed. I loved Requiem For Dream it really honestly showed what life is like for an addict.

Sophie's Choice. I couldn't imagine myself having to make the choices she made. Still can't.

Every Elvis movie ever made gives me a headache. Does that Count?

The Big Blue

"Johnny Got His Gun" with Timothy Bottoms - for the dark side of war.
Harold and Maude for the dark humor about mother issues.
I can not watch alot of sad movies, I need humor so there are many films I have never seen - hense my references are older flicks. After watching Johnny got his gun I filter what I watch. That movie still gives me chills and a deep sense of dispare - DON'T need that in my head/life.

A Serbian Story

Vanilla Skies. I always had trouble trying to figure out where the lucid dream began. It was carefully explained in the dialog, but for some reason it never sunk in for me until I watched it for the ump-teenth time some years back. I love movies that toy with reality and force you to question what you are interpreting.

The 1980's It, have not yet seen the remake.

The Woodsman with, of course, Kebin Bacon and Keria Sedgwick; creepy fucked up shit!

I definitely agree with Requiem for a Dream, especially the last few minutes of the movie!!!

Dead Man Walking. Full disclosure, I was pregnant at the time so I’m sure that had something to do with how emotionally vested in it I became.

Dalton Trumbo's, Johnny Got His Gun. It was released at the height of the Vietnam war and I was about to be drafted. Back then being drafted meant boot camp, infantry school, and a plane to Man for a 12 month tour. The film had a profound affect on me.

Mother. Also an Aronofsky film. I loved it, knew it was a great movie, but had to think about it for a couple of days to unravel it. I still need to watch it again because there's a lot to unpack. I will NEVER watch Requiem again. That one is wayyyy too heavy for me. Drug abuse really puts a hurt on my psyche

Quite a few come to mind for me. "Soylent Green" is quite probably the most terrifying film ever made, and it still guides my opinions about the overwhelming seriousness of climate change.

On a more goofy note, the end of "In the Mouth of Madness" is a total mind trip.....not nearly as bad as the reviews suggested.

Other honorable mentions include "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas, the silent epic "Metropolis", and two works from the great Orson Welles, "Citizen Kane" and "Macbeth". The latter is my favorite Shakespeare adaptation because it is exactly as I envisioned the play when I first read it (it helped that I read Macbeth before watching it).

I watched The Wizard of Oz at too young of an age. I was terrified of storms, especially tornadoes until I had kids of my own and realized I had to be brave for them. I used to have tornado nightmares every spring.

Don't even get me started on those damn flying monkeys. Scariest shit EVER! They still terrify me.

Whatever happened to baby Jane?
