I get a lot from Mulholland Drive, especially when the betrayal starts happening in the third act. I also got the feeling watching Past Lives and Everything Everywhere All At Once.
I got some watching Parasite because my anger for the bougie family was white hot.
Ooh yeah, the scene after the flood where the dad is driving the bougie wife around and she complains
That definitely did make me feel rage down to my stomach.
I debated mentioning all those too, plus Inland Empire, but as you mention it's not exactly butterflies. I'd add the time travel sequence from Twin Peaks S3, something extremely emotional about seeing Laura refuse Cooper's help and still receiving her tragic end. Such a gut wrenching ending.
I don't know what "butterfies" means exactly but I'm very fond of "Stalker".
Stalker is a 1979 Soviet science fiction art film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky loosely based on their 1972 novel Roadside Picnic. The film tells the story of an expedition led by a figure known as the "Stalker", who guides his two clients—a melancholic writer seeking inspiration, and a professor seeking scientific discovery—through a hazardous wasteland to a mysterious restricted site known simply as the "Zone", where there supposedly exists a room which grants a person's innermost desires.
The film combines elements of science fiction with dramatic philosophical, psychological and theological themes.
It surely had a tiny budget but it's so creative that it doesn't matter. It's otherwordly and unsettling due to the cinematography, music, etc. At one point a "special effect" created by small pieces of metal tied up with cloth. So much can be accomplished by good ideas, a gifted director, and a talented cast.
I hope Hollywood never does a remake because they'll give it a $100+m budget and the movie will be the typical souless husk of an idea pumped full of CGI and stupidity.
Emily the Criminal gave me butterflies several times. Aubrey Plaza was so perfect in that role. Past Lives was another recent one. The acting was emotionally intense without being over the top. Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World had some breathtaking and intense moments. It merits a rewatch every couple of years.
I'm not sure I know exactly what emotion you're describing but maybe Good Time (2017) by the Safdie Brothers
Yeah I got some watching Good Time, I get it. I don't remember exactly why, though, maybe the way the movie portrays the difficult relationship between the brothers got to me?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
This may be controversial here, but I loved Whedon's adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing
