I just finished watching Requiem for a Dream (for the hundredth time). Darren Aronofsky needs a serious hug from his daddy.
What movies have you watched that fucked with your head so much that you were still thinking about it the next day?
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.
Deer Hunter
Reading through these, I was trying to remember all those movies I've seen, and then came across AnneWimsey's post. Deer Hunter freaked me out more than any.
The 1980's It, have not yet seen the remake.
ooh! the remake is so amazing! Please watch it if you get a chance! Here's a quick clip of one of my favorite scenes...
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.

Stew anyone?
'Sometimes a Great Notion' written by Ken Kesey. The opening dialogue on the first scene stayed glued in my memory after one reading: "Sometimes I feel like a lover, and sometimes I feel like a clown, And sometimes I get a great notion to jump in the river and drown". And that fit me perfectly at the time and still does.
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.
ErIc the vIkIng. Christians couldn't see the pagan stuff that the vIkIngs saw.
Sophie's Choice. I couldn't imagine myself having to make the choices she made. Still can't.
