As an adult I'd have to go with The Fountain. People have different interpretations of that movie but I've always seen it as a spiritual metaphor, and the symbolism is pretty intense in that context. Oh, also Magnolia and Requiem for a Dream.
OH...can't forget The Green Mile....goddam movie...........

I was going to say something about that scene (when Atreyu's horse sinks into the Swamp of Sadness). It always made me bawl when I was a kid... come to find out years later there was a problem with elevator they used in that scene and the horse actually DID die in that scene. So much for my mother's reassurance of "it's okay, it's only a movie... the horse didn't really die..." The actor Noah Hathaway got seriously injured duing that scene too.
