Beat me to it. I was just thinking this. It's tense on a whole different level to most other movies.Maxwell -EOD- said:

Blackhawk Down was pretty damn intense.
But I gotta agree with the votes for Saving Private Ryan and Children of Men. Saving Private Ryan actually messed me up the first time I watched it. And when I saw the first car chase in Children of Men where it was all one shot I realized I was watching something special.

Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc.
You're basically witnessing the complete deconstruction of a human being.
Extremely unsettling...much thanks to Maria Falconetti's sublime acting.

Deathrace was a remake of an intentional-camp movie (bad on purpose), I believe the first one with Sylvester Stallone ever. I'm pretty sure it's not meant to be taken too seriously.FalloutJack said:
I pick Pulp Fiction. Walked out of the theater and my father said "that is not a movie a 15-year-old boy should have seen." I said, "I didn't know a movie could be like that!"
I think it was the incredible score done by Jonny Greenwood (I think) combined with the power madness that comes with unbridled greed. Plus I don't think you can go wrong when Upton Sinclair composes the soul.Mister Eff said:

Quarantine, cause I had no idea, a friend just said "come round for a random movie" with no explanation of said movie. Released in 2009, Go watch it if ya havn't...
Gangs of New York. Daniel De Lewis (sp?) will scare the shit out of you.
That, and In Bruges. The best dark comedy no one has heard of.

hmmm... movies that really had me on the edge of my seat the first viewing... Well, in order of most to least recent movie (for me having seen it, not release date)
1. Inglorious Bastards- Had no idea what was coming next in that one.
2. Up- Didn't know anything about it before I saw it except that Pixar did it.
3. Silent Hill- Never played the game but that was the first REAL scary movie I had seen in years
4. Arsenic and Old Lace- If you haven't seen it, do so.
5. the Land Before Time- The first one. I was less the 5 when I saw that. That is all i will say

I most thorooughly agree with this.Assassinator said:
Also, The Shining. Now there was a movie that didn't let up with the creepy all the way through. Yikes.
How could I forget about that one! Especially when JackErja_Perttu said:

And in retrospective, I think I'll join the Children of Men horde, it was awesome.
And of course many more films I've missed, there are so many of them, it's not that hard for me to get immersed in a movie.
Some great stuff mentioned,
Children of men. especially the the three big 1-shot pieces. (the car, the farmhouse, and the final shoot out, most heroic scene because he never touches a gun)
Aliens is my all time favorite movie. As JC himself said: 'it's 40 miles of bad road'
Have not seen quarantine and don't want to, because there is no way it could beat the low budget masterpiece REC (Spanish movie that it's a remake of)
The Descent by Neill Marshall of Dog Soldiers fame. Borrows a trick from "The Thing" by having a cast consisting of one sex. Which removes sexual tension that distracts from the REAL tension. The Thing is also a hugely intense move.
As is the Evil Dead (thinking about it I could prob list off 20-30 movies but without context it's just a list post)
I will say Ichi the killer (un-cut) is pretty much one of the most twisted movies ever made. The main title is written in real honest to god man-spunk.
