When was the last time a movie caught you off guard?

Perhaps the title requires a bit of explanation. I think we have come to expect certain things from movies in general and from some movies in particular, just because of the trailer, the genre, actors, director, producer, and so on. So you kind of know that a movie by Tarantino is going to have graphic violence and also really interesting conversations with references to popular culture. Or a film with Chris Rock is likely to be a comedy.

But sometimes a movie just surprises you by its story, crossing genres, shining light on something you had no idea about (like in a documentary), or just amazing acting by someone who you often thought a mediocre actor. Or perhaps certain scenes just stay with you long after because the movie touched you emotionally in a way you did not think possible.

So, movies like that.
