The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven't been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

I would say Grave of the Fireflies, but like a lot of people I've never wanted to watch it again so I'm not sure if I could say it's my favourite.

To this day I've watched it once and I'll never forget.

I've forgotten a lot of the plot but I'll never forget the feeling at the end. It was just this big empty pit in my stomach, I felt so empty. I often wonder if this is perhaps one of the greatest films I've ever watched, because no other film has even come close to making me feel whatever that was. But again, I don't want to go back and test this theory.
