I'm real happy atleast somebody mentioned The Virgin Suicides. That has to be my number one, without a doubt.

Others include:
> Mysterious Skin (a close number two)
> Paranoid Park
> The Door In The Floor
> The Dead Girl
> Babel
> Atonement

Lighter movies, but still great:
> Vicky Cristina Barcelona
> Remember Me
> Adventureland
> Friends With Money

I don't know about 5.




1. Salo or 120 Days of Sodom
2. Secret Window(2004)


Actually Mysterious Skin didn't faze me that much. It wasn't as disturbing as some films I've seen. Actually compared to Salo it was Barney.
