I'd have to say it'd be Apocalypse Now, Se7en, and Taxi Driver.
Once Were Warriors
Anyone who's only seen Temuera Morrison wearing Stormtrooper or Mandalorian armour should see this.

Schindler's List. I was emotionally and mentally drained after watching that, spread out over three days.

When you take out the Universal Health Care/anti-HMO propaganda, John Q with Denzel Washington was gut-wrenching at times. I can't watch that movie to this day without a box of kleenex.

Add Glory, Mad Max, Lifeboat, The War, Falling Down, The Harder They Fall, Stalag 17, The Yearling, and It's a Wonderful Life to that list

IIRC that was an Akira Kurosawa film, right? I could have bought that at a store many months/years ago on DVD, but didn't. I feel stupid for not doing so.Patrick Degan wrote:Kagemusha: The Shadow Warrior

Kurosawa. And it's a great movie. I saw it in the theatre about five times.Stofsk wrote:IIRC that was an Akira Kurosawa film, right? I could have bought that at a store many months/years ago on DVD, but didn't. I feel stupid for not doing so.Patrick Degan wrote:Kagemusha: The Shadow Warrior

Except those samurai were wielding Colt .45 Peacemakers instead of Katana, and the Japanese Medieval clothing was a little bit incorrectly depicted. Otherwise it would made an accurate remake!HemlockGrey wrote:I think the preferred term is "remake".IIRC The Magnificent Seven was The Seven Samurai rip-off?

I feel the need to mention Spirited Away. Very powerful and highly emotional for me. There is so much going on in the movie that it really was a masterwork from Miyazaki.
