I think we can all agree that Requiem For A Dream is the undisputed champion in this category. Hell, that movie made me look at vitamins and aspirin differently. Here are a few not mentioned contenders:
1)A Midnight Clear - The best, most and truthful war movie ever made.
2)The Mission - De Niro and Irons. Enough said
3)A River Runs Through It. I realize Brad Pitts undoing was entirely of his own making but when the father asks/finds out about his hands at the end does it to me everytime.
4)Legends Of The Fall - Speaking of Brad Pitt. Back when he choose to act.....
Just a few that came to mind
