Children of men.

Just watching it now, again. That scene about 25min into the movie really freaked me out, continuous, no cuts ... obviously tweaked with CG, but still, the whole movie just makes me think about life.

If I were like that dude I added to my ignore list I could complain about laughable "futuristic" cars (they take a citroen dauphine or something and add some plastic, for example) and unnatural depth-of-field of the CG-enhanced world - but that doesn't render the movie less impactuous (?), less frightening.

An awesome movie that I think more people should see.

Update / Warning: Makes your eyes tear and won't release that lump in your throat.
And if you're a parent, it'll make you scoop up your kid and squeeze him and never let go.
