20 Films That Are Guaranteed To Haunt Your Dreams

10. Amour

Amour There are very things more inherently frightening than getting older and losing control of yourself. Amour deals with the innate humanity between two people who have been married for decades with its horrifying love story. The thing that sets the film apart from being a straight horror movie is the stark realness that Michael Haneke brings to his direction of his story. Everything is filmed so matter of fact that it eventually begins to feel less like a movie and more like a real struggle with age and commitment between these two people who have loved each other more than most people will ever know. Haneke's film also deals with euthanasia, which is hardly a topic that gets any attention in modern cinema but is used here to great effect. The morality that Amour struggles with is what seals its place on this list because it is something that can never fully be dealt with and is completely present in real life.

My favorite movies are Before Sunrise, Pulp Fiction, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien and Her so don't be surprised to see those pop up in my writing from time to time. I'm currently in school for Journalism/English and I have an obsession with all things cinematic on the side.
