What defines a "heavy" movie?

👍 Persistence really does pay off... it's an absolute knockout, a true artistic tour de force.

This is such a killer topic. Right off the bat, I was thinking about movies like marketplace, hair, and life is beautiful.
Back in my teens, White Oleander really hit me hard—though it kind of lost its edge for me later on.

There are a few others where the titles have totally slipped my mind, so let me dig a little deeper. Honestly, those kinds of films just wrecked my brain—they strip away everything and force you into some seriously deep self-reflection.
Oh, wait, one just popped up—Panov's Labyrinth.

Personally, White Oleander really struck a chord with me back in my teenage years, though I feel like it lost some of its emotional weight as I got older.

There are a few others whose titles have slipped my mind for the moment, but I’ll definitely give them more thought. These kinds of films just completely unnerve you; they peel back the layers of human nature and force you into this intense state of self-reflection...
Oh, wait, one just came back to me—Panov's Labyrinth.

Panov's Labyrinth is definitely an essential pick.

Since we are exploring the depths of the psyche, I would also throw radiation, Misery, and Shutter Island into the mix...

Ironman. After a while, keeping up with all those influencers and their constant drama just became too much...
