For adults, A History of Violence and Eastern Promises. Both feature Viggo Mortensen, Aragorn in the LOTR trilogy, where for me he was the one actor who didn't match my mental image of the character from the books. But he is a very good actor.

Eastern Promises is excellent and one of the two movies I chose when I started this delicious thread. I've always been fascinated and curiously intrigued by organized crime and it's adherents.

I thought history of violence was better

A quiet but very dangerous man

The sex scene with her in her cheerleader suit comfortably going right to 69 like a well suited married couple would

Then later when she’s mighty pissed and grudge bangs him on the stairs and then when done with him in short order kick off of him lying there exhausted with her sharp heel as she pulls her panties back up

The power of women boy....classic I can show you how it’s done mr tough guy.....ive had women do that same thing....use you basically while are pissed....they love you so much they hate you ....God love em

And the family dynamics....they save him then wifey is like ok....be mensch and fix this shit you brought into our Thomas Kincaide home....

Cronenberg can sure tell a dark thick textured tale......Promises too

And Maria Bello is now a lesbo or maybe she switched back already

Anyhow....she nailed it

William Hurt....an odd choice I thought

A top 20 all time movie to me...
