(Darren Aronofsky, 2010)
It's hard to say exactly why this makes the list, but it just does. There's something haunting about this one.
4. Chained
(Jennifer Chambers Lynch, 2012)
David Lynch's daughter certainly inherited some of the directorial chops from her Dad, but she has a different vision that isn't necessarily bad... just different. Vincent D'Onofrio is good (like always), and also more warped than his serial killer character in the under-rated The Cell.
3. Requiem for a Dream
(Darren Aronofsky, 2000)
A film likely to be on most people's lists. A film that can't be UNSEEN. There are a handful of scenes in this one that quite often pop up in my mind.
2. Irreversible
(Gaspar Noe, 2002)
Gaspar Noe's best work. So good. But so disturbing.
1. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
(Kurt Kuenne, 2008)
It's a really moving piece. Directed by Kurt Kuenne, the film is an ode to his murdered friend after his ex-girlfriend announces she is expecting his son. Although filled with heartbreak, it's ultimately one of the most gripping documentaries you'll ever see. You need to make the time for this one if you haven't seen it. And of course, once you see it... you won't want to see it again.
