    I'd have to say Grave of the Fireflies, an anime about two children in the aftermath of the bombing of Japan at the end of WWII. The best film i've ever seen and never want to watch again.

    *Schindler's List comes a close second.

    Lukas Moodysson's Lilya 4-ever.

    I watched this last night and I think I'm still a bit traumatised. It's a film that forces you to see a very unpleasant aspect of the world and the worst thing is that you realise the same things and indeed probably far worse are happening to people like Lilya every day. It is a very well-made film however and I'd recommend watching it. Maybe it's good for people to get a "wake-up call" and realise there's more to life than shopping and insipid cheerfulness.

    The DVD also had an hour-long interview with Moodysson and I was very impressed by him - he seems to be a very sincere person and has very interesting ideas about film and politics.
