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.

There was something in Trainspotting that fucked me up so hard I never, ever went near that movie again.

And it's not explicitly a horror movie, so valid in this context.

Trainspotting csme to mind for me too. The violence in that movie is emotionally devastating but its not emotionally devastating for the human interactions & relstionships so it doesnt make my list.
