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.

Holy fuck The Whale. I rarely get emotional for sad movies and usually my eyes well up at most but The Whale opened the flood gates. Watched it at the movie theaters and remember the credits rolling in silence while everyone is sniffling and sobbing. Cried on the way home too. I bought it on blu ray and have not worked up the courage to rewatch it.
