So many of the films mentioned are films I would avoid going to see in the first place, knowing they’re likely to be pretty grim watching.

+1 I’m not sure I could watch it again.
This, though; I had no idea what to expect, and the scene where the officer beats the bloke with the wine bottle just shook me rigid, the casual, cold violence was shocking, and has stayed with me since I saw it the first week of release.
I cannot bring myself to ever watch it again.
Up caught me by surprise, the opening bit had me quietly sobbing in my seat.
Cougar, Spirited Away is a fabulous film, but all of Myazaki’s Studio Ghibli films are really worth watching.
Although Grave Of The Fireflies, as I understand from a mate who’s watched it, is a very upsetting film, there’s not a lot of cheer to be found in it.
