Somebody recommend me some dark movies! I've seen Dark City, The Crow, and Sleepy Hollow, and I'm set to watch Donnie Darko and The City of Lost Children pretty soon. Any recommendations for dark movies?

Dust Devil and Picnic At Hanging Rock - both have an emphasis on spooky atmosphere and beautiful cinematography. Though the term 'dark' can't be taken literally in either case; both have a supernatural element that is most prominent under the heat of a blazing sun.

I'm saying there wasn't enough Hulk smashing scenes.

Dag, then go finance a Hulk mini-series then. That way you can have all the psychological introspection and sweeping action scenes together. A movie's only got ninety minutes, unless Peter Jackson's involved ;)
 BTW, RPG

I had mentioned Gothic, Ghost Story and the original version of The Haunting as nice dark films - without them being too whacked-out, anyways. But my connec had begun to fuck up and it didn't work, but hay -- there you go =)

The Hulk was way over 90 minutes. Don't you agree that the first half hour at least needed to be a hella lot shorter?

movies with dark atmosphere I take it rather than just plain dark movies?
If so, try these out :
batman and batman returns if you havent seen them
blade II (though it's really a mindless popcorn flick)
blue velvet
ring or ringu
the game
 Darkness

different style, essentially same story. I prefer the visuals in the english version but the jap version is more creepy.
RPG,

anything by david lynch is "dark", in some sense of the word.
Apart from "the straight story", which isnt dark at all, really. :o

With Robert DeNiro.. it pulls on a range of emotions.. it has action, and.. god, I don't want to give any spoilers away.. but sometimes the film is genius. I missed like the first half hour or hour though..
 Yeah !

Thanks for the suggestions, all. Some I've seen, and some I haven't, so I'll be looking those up.
Also, I saw Donnie Darko last night. I liked it so much I purchased the DVD today. I can't wait to watch it again.
