Wolf Creek, The Wicker Man, Don't look Now, all films where you are stunned when they don't have a happy ending and a main character dies.
Cabaret, as the rise of the Nazi's moves from sub to main plot.
Oh!! What A Lovely War, the final scene, filmed at Sheepcote.

Good call on Wicker Man and whoever said Blade Runner and Downfall.
If anyone ever gets to see it look out for Plague Dogs a British animated film from those who made Watership Down, relentlessly grim and utterly emotional, you know very early on the two escaped dogs aren't going to make it but keep watching it in the vague hope they might. Strangely enough the book from which it was adapted had a super happy hollywood style ending which the film makers sensibly ditched in order to ensure there wouldn't be a dry eye in the house.
On a different note remember walking home in the dark after seeing Blue Velvet for the first time, not recommended.

I watched about 5 minutes of one of those Faces of Death films once. Felt very sick afterwards. I really don't get the fascination of watching people die. Truly shocking.
Bloke I know used to collect all those snuff-type movies. I'd swear it turned him on.

Agreed. Will put Spirit of the Beehive (you did mean that?) and Talk To Her on my DVD rental list too.
I'm not very good on scary or violent films or emotional rollercoasters so not sure that I'd manage La Haine.
I'd say that the films that stayed with me for a good few days after viewing are
Then...Jaws
More recently...Pan's Labyrinth

I actually think that scene was pitched totally wrong. If any thing it seemed to be the other way round.

First time I saw Saving Private Ryan, I litterally came out of the cinema shell shocked. Absolutely awesome impact.

The CND film 'The War Game', seen in a town hall in early 80s and absolutely scared the shit out of me as a teenager. I suspect now this film would seem very dated and obviously some world events have now rendered it's predictions incorrect, but of its time it was devastating. 'Threads' was probably more visually stunning and shocking.

Grave Of The Fireflies.
One of the only films to make me cry (and it's animated!). Beautiful imagery and utterly heart-breaking story.
