Not exactly a movie per-se, but the 1993 Sam Mendes-directed stage adaptation of Cabaret. The one with Alan Cummings playing Sex manifested in human form.
Not a huge fan of musicals, but Cabaret (which I'm slightly embarassed to admit I've never seen before - in any incarnation) piqued my interest as of late due to its themes and because I heard of its confrontational nature.
Downright terrifying and unfortunately still very relevant. Hope to get my hands on the Bob Fosse movie soon. From all the clips I've seen, it goes for a subtler, yet slowly creeping dread that suddenly turns obvious and hard to overlook. Shame on popculture references for portraying it as some silly musical. This is a timeless story, really. And the musical numbers are exhillerating.
