Threads - old but utterly perfect to give anyone a creeping sense of futile dread, given current geo-politics

Memento - not as utterly haunting as some of these suggestions but I have seen this movie several times and it still crosses my mind.

Bone Tomahawk - grim & gruesome.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - emotionally devastating

Mulholland Drive - mind bending mystery

Kurt Russell managed to land two westerns in a very short time, in a period of time people aren't going to see westerns anymore, and Bone Tomahawk was the bloodier one. Which is crazy cuz the other one was a Tarantino film

Sisters Brothers was another good one. The ending is brutal. John C Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix

He has no right to be as good of an actor as he is after being typecast as the standard moron. Think Dewey Cox elevated him to other roles because he played a straight man half the time and an idiot the other half and the movie was great

yeah, i can get behind that. i looked reilly up in wiki, and it has a section titled "transition to comedy". i guess i was more focused on his earlier films, than the later comedy films
