What movies, little seen or long forgotten maybe, just touched a nerve with you?

Couple of mine:

On the Beach - very depressing but touched something in me. I grew up in the Cold War, where any day I expected to be basically vaporized or die a slow agonizing death. But it is uplifting in a way too, love among the desperation.

Zorba the Greek - Zest for life, my best description. Totally opposite from the other movie. And, I can identify with the Greek culture because of my background.

District 9! Great flick, but I think Prawns and I think, mmm, seafood.
I don't think I've seen the others, I'll put them on the menu.

Two of my favorites on Netflix:

Let the Right One In (the original)
Rare Exports - a very interesting take on Santa Claus!

Oh my, yes, saw that one... very disturbing. Glad to see someone else found it disturbing yet fascinating.

Ok, to add another sorta unkown one:

Lol lots of good ones, too bad I can't find them on Netflix.

Remembered one, I don't know if it qualifies as obscure though:

@mini - Tucker and Dale VS. Evil is a great little flick. I hope that they make more Tucker and Dale films.
