The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven't been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

Happiness (1998) is extremely dark and very funny at the same time

The War Zone (1999) is relentlessly bleak and uncomfortable

The breakfast scene in that movie (happiness). Just ..... Fuck.
