MetalForever
Breaking the waves is a masterpiece. Brilliant film, amazing direction and wonderful performances and theme. Watch it, it's worth it.
CorgiLady
The Messenger is an amazing movie.
BitchImCanadian
Seriously, description does not do it justice. One of Woody Harrelson's best roles recently, IMO. Such a feels trip.
mrmikeyb
joeyeux noel and happythankyoumoreplease are my shit
WhatTheChuck
These are the only two I've seen and i'd have to agree with you.
Turtleproof
Spoiler Alert: The Painted Veil is about two hours laboriously detailing what it takes for one woman to finally grow up.
PamelaSplooshPoovey
Yeah, it's beautifully done
Acephalous
"It's a 4 hour long shit" "Yeah, but it's beautifully done."

Oh. Didn't realize turtleproof's comment was criticism. Whoops.

Turtleproof
Yeah, dude was bitter and wretched to her but god DAMN she was a childish jerk. I didn't like the movie at all until the final scene.
PamelaSplooshPoovey
And then it's all too late and you're like "unnnnggghh my heeaaarrrttttt"

red violin is great. it could be because i was having sex while watching it though.

Joyeux Noel!!! YESSS
DwayneElizondoMountainDewHerbertCamachoApprovesThisMessage
Joyeux Noel is a great movie, and one of my favorites. Go watch it.
ickaickaickaptchanggggg
i loved Speak. i read the book when i was in middle school and then the movie came out. first time i saw kristen stewart and she was great
ickaickaickaptchanggggg
couldn't believe it was the same person when the twilight series picked up.
SadMaxTearyRoad
Breaking The Waves and Europa are two of my favorite movies of all time, both by Lars Von Trier. Watch them.
trinhbot
Joyeux Noel is one of the greatest "based on true events" movies and one of my favorite war movies
ICantEvenAct
Now is Good destroyed me. Even knowing that she was going to die didn't prepare me for that feels trip...
ICantEvenAct
I was past silent crying. This was full on bawling. I haven't cried like that since I saw Marley and Me for the first time.
fluffysquirrel
I read the book and then watched the movie. I cry every single time.
jetblacksaint
The Painted Veil is incredible. And I'm not usually into sappy love/coming of age tales.
BadWolfDancer
dude, you are awesome. I have found so many great movies thanks to your posts! keep on keepin' on man!

Third picture is Godard with Anna Karina, nothing to do with the movie mentioned

Important question: does it have to be rainy, or am I allowed to watch them at any point? Sincerely, Alex.

I'm glad you asked Alex. If you watch these movies during decent, or God forbid - good weather the hipster police will find you.

As someone from Arizona, I will never be able to watch these.
vermontiscold
Most of these movies are darker and full of feels. Wouldn't want to ruin a beautiful sunny day with a depressing movie, now would we?
ninmonkey
And they told me not to listen to documentaries about serial killers, as I'm trying to get to sleep.

Im interested in the Kristen Stewart one now knowing she won't be speaking

Oh god, I'd only watch The Messenger if there was a freakin' tornado warning.

Great and sensible answer. Made my day. TY.

I donno, there can be something wonderful about a rainy summer day.

But I can't take a walk in the rain if it's sunny.

Late and unrelated to this comment, but Now is Good is waaayy more than her goal to lose her virginity. The best movie Ive ever seen. Ever.

Joyeux Noel is one of my favorite seasonal movies. Speaks volumes

Keith will mess up your feels. Good luck.

Omg Keith! I forgot all about that beautiful movie with that beautiful man.
CyanideSweetToothSuicide
'Keith' is one of my all time favorite movies and so worth a watch!

DrKateStumplebutt
I so thought this movie was going to be another stupid high school romance and was so pleasantly surprised. It's a very good movie.
HeyThereHawkguy
I watched it because I dig Jesse McCartney and oh god the unexpected feels, so good!
SomewhatAceUS
I'm a guy, and I enjoyed Keith, not so much the hardcore punch in the feels
pumpkinmuffietotherescue
This movie got me. I put it on for background noise while I cleaned and then I forgot to clean...
QuinnieThePoohh
Yes! I fell madly in love with both of them. Mainly him though.
crunchydeskchair
My freshman roommate and I watched it, we didn't normally watch movies like that..felt weird the rest of the day,didn't watch a drama again
KoonatchutaSolo
I thought Keith was going to be terrible based on the crappy Netflix blurb but I LOVED IT.
grusnumberoneminion
Upvotes for all Keith lovers. I seriously have put bowling balls on other people's property. Makes a fun date and a good prank.

I am so happy to see that other people have appreciated the amazingness that is Keith. Signed in only to up vote all of you.

Good list but when I'm watching movies I want escapism. I don't want to see my own shitty problems reflected back at me.

Then don't ever watch any typically British movies like this is England or outlaw- most depressing shit ever.
ISuperBelieveInYouTadCooper
I hear you. I can really enjoy movies like these, but I have to be in a pretty good place - otherwise it's too real/sad/dark.
94kirkpatrick
Oh you've put my feelings into words. I have depression so it's often hard for me to watch sad/traumatizing movies because I feel

them so strongly and it makes me feel worse, despite knowing that it's just a movie on a screen.
fivefrozenfishfingers
I have major depression and OCD. I have to real careful what I watch.
94kirkpatrick
Yeah I feel ya. I can't watch movies where the animal or love interest dies, nor can I watch movies featuring torture/abuse...it triggers
fivefrozenfishfingers
It's bad enough that I live alone and in complete silence. I only watch movies or listen to music when I'm drunk (eg: numb).
MenstrualMonster
I've seen the Virgin Suicides, but honestly I can't remember a thing about it. And be sure to read Speak as well, the book is good.
bombadil92
The Virgin Suicides, for me, is one those movies that gets stuck on your mind for a few days after watching it.
iwishyoupeace
omg this. especially the end scene. It's also Sophia Coppola's directorial debut.
lurkyoulongtime
Speak, the book, broke my soul for a few days. I related a little too well with the narrator.
Ohmyrowling
It broke me too. Worse was I read it after being sexually assaulted, and my name is Mel. I didn't know the topic. Such a good book.
lurkyoulongtime
Everyone kept telling me how good it was and that what it was about was a spoiler. I had never told anyone either, not for a long time...
mysevenwords
I thought Speak, the movie, captured the book really well.
peachyone87
Me too. I read the book 4 times in high school, then a few years later figured out there was a movie, and thought it fit well.
ryushi5
Probably one of the best things about it is the soundtrack by Air.
ihavethepower
They all kill themselves. boom.
Fatniss
Tried watching the virgin suicides and damn I was just too depressed to finish it. One of those movies that make you feel some typa way.
MenstrualMonster
+1 for some typa way, lol.
leftypride
I read Speak in high school in about 2 days. I love that author. Her coming of age books are fantastic. If you liked Speak, read Twisted.
martiniolives2
The Red Violin is actually an amazing and original story. Oh, and Sam Jackson's in it.
goingcrazy
I randomly watched it a year or so ago and thought it was fantastic!
martiniolives2
Amazing music! I remember the gypsy stuff and the little boy near the beginning of the film.
youandihaveunfinishedbusiness
Oh and Sandra Oh
turokdinosaurhunter
It's seriously so good. I can't vouch for many of the other recommendations here, but the Red Violin is a must.

Yeah that description was a bit of an understatement for it. Easily one of the most memorable films ive seen.

Aahhaah my grandpa told me to watch it when I was in fifth grade, since I played violin. It was a lot to take in.

This movie stayed with me for a long long time. Phenomenal!

It was magnificent! I love watching it. :)

Yes. You played the black guy.

black guy who steals the violin, this movie is racist (j/k actually one of the best)
EarthTourist
one of the best movies ever - but seems strange on this list of mostly movies made 10 years later
aldieb
I love the fact I've heard of pretty much none of those. NEW STUFF! :)
SpikeCanKickLestatsAss
Now is Good sounds to be based on Before I Die by Jenny Downham. You should read it. :)

I've seen the movie, will check out the book eventually.

The Messenger is probs still on Netflix. It's pretty great if you're all right taking a feels trip.

Mmmm, Edward Norton. I cried more than I care to admit.

That movie makes me weep every time. I love Edward Norton.

Cannot get through that movie without sobbing. It's so damn good! Seriously a gorgeous movie, everyone should see it

Agreed.
MatrimCauthonFTW
One of my favorites. Such a great film.
turokdinosaurhunter
Weird, maybe I was in the wrong mood when I watched it, but I thought it was torture to watch. To each their own, I guess!
PamelaSplooshPoovey
Maybe you wouldn't like it otherwise, but you do have to be in the right mood to watch it, otherwise it's just depressing

one of the few movies that i felt did the book justice
DrKateStumplebutt
In middle school, a girl tried to do a book report about it and the teacher wouldn't let her because she said it was too adult.

i thought it was god awful and so is the book
Acephalous
It's basically Twilight with a burn victim and no vampires.
icookfoodandfightfire
your name is relevant here....

Burn victim? I've read the book and seen the movie and I don't remember there being a burn victim at all. Rape victim, yes.
