Time to list some must-see films I think anons should watch before SHTF.

What counts as a good film for me? Story must be intriguing and get you hooked. Acting must be good, believable and unique. Also, I prefer more realistic movies, but it doesn't have to be if the movie is a top notch classic with a great story and incredible acting.

>Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun

Never heard of it, looks to be labeled an anime so I wouldn't know anything about that genre. Although I checked a couple p2p clients and some people are sharing it (season 2), only one says "English dub" though. Also checked thepiratebay10.org and they have magnets of some episodes but I have no clue what language they are.
