Movies that Require at least a Half-Hour Recovery
List creator: lividsnails
Created on: December 27, 2004 - 7:23 PM PST
Description: These are movies that are so good or so horrible or so scary or so intricate I had to take a few minutes to recover and catch my breath at the end of them.

Boys Don't Cry (1999)
12345678910
  *gasp* omigod, I stumbled out of the theatre after seeing this movie. I felt as beat up and brutalized as the characters. Some advice, wear protective clothing and have your teddy on hand. You'll need 'em.
Mulholland Dr. (2001)
12345678910
  Lynch is a genius. No, you will never tie all the ends together on this one. Not even if you watch it three times and use the rewind button. It's a damn good puzzle.
Blue Velvet (1986)
12345678910
  An opera of a movie. You think back and realize that he tied that in and that and that symbolized that and ... ad nauseum. If you've never seen this movie be warned, you'll be thinking about it for days.
The Vanishing (Criterion Collection) (1988)
12345678910
Not Rated
  A modern day Oedipus will stop at nothing to find out the truth. I saw this one in my undergraduate film class. Who can forget the final scene? The American version totally SUCKS. See the original.
Apocalypse Now (1979)
12345678910
  Very, very rarely does a film become as great a piece of art as the book. Apoc. Now is as classic as Heart of Darkness and even better with the early 20th c. racism of Conrad's novel removed. A terrifying journey into the evil that resides in humanity.
Nine Queens (2001)
12345678910
  If you like strategic games chess, you'll love this movie! And if you weren't as broadsided as I was by the ending you're a better player than I.
Sunshine (1999)
12345678910
  It's an epic that covers three generations. I haven't seen it since it was out in independent art theatres and I just remember thinking damn, and I'm never gonna get to see it again. (This was before GreenCine.)
Richard III (1995)
12345678910
  Not your typical adaptation of a Shakspearian tragedy. Heart-poundingly intense and diabolically wicked Richard III plots a coup to take the throne.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
12345678910
  Amazing scenery, captivating, imaginative special effects and a classic who-dun-it storyline. It's breath-takingly beautiful.
A Huey P. Newton Story (2001)
12345678910
Gods and Monsters (1998)
12345678910
