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

      Gosh. Everyone here knows all the REALLY messed up ones. You don’t watch this one without a permanent stain imprinted on your psyche.

      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.

    Happiness - Todd Solondz

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

      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!

        Yeah… that’s the first moment when the mask starts to slip, and you realize you’re in for something entirely different than what it initially appeared to be.
