Note that this list is entirely opinion based and in no particular order. KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME FILMS ON THIS LIST ARE EXTREMELY UPSETTING AND VIOLENT AND MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNGER VIEWERS. Some of these are also made for TV rather than feature films, and a couple were released as 2-parters.

There is more than one page of films making up this list, so if a title  you're looking for appears to be missing, check the 2nd page ahead for it.
