<p>This is fully Ranked in my personal opinion:</p><p>If your favourite isn’t on this list please let me know in the comments and I will 100% watch them.</p><p>You might be asking yourself:<br />“Why tf is that film on this list it’s not a true story”and whilst that may be true if it’s only a little based on true events it’s in this list. </p><p>A film that’s based on real events ≠ A True Movie </p><p>I.E - <b>The Hunt. </b><br />It’s not a true story, however a therapist went to Thomas Vinterbergs house and dropped of case studies that he thought could be good foundations to a film and then Vinterberg took inspiration from a lot of them to create that film.</p><p>Another example being <b>Punch-Drunk Love:</b><br />The relationship story is entirely fabricated but there really was a quirky guy who found a loophole with air miles on pudding cups!</p><p>One film that I love telling people is a true story the most is <b>Before Sunrise:</b><br />Linklater met a girl and spent the whole night with her but never getting her number or email address but told her he would make a film based on their night together; when the film got released he waited around in cinemas hoping she would show up (like in Before Sunset) but unfortunately in 2001 he heard the news that she passed away a year before the first film was ever made. <br />Shattering story but one that excels the experience of the film massively. </p><p>Everything below The Conjuring: The Devil made me do it has not been ranked yet</p>

<p>This list was spawned from a conversation I had with a friend of mine, who was looking for some horror movie recommendations. Her only stipulation was: "No rape scenes." That got me thinking.</p><p>I feel like the prevalence of sexual assault in media can easily be dismissed unless the scope of the problem is visualized, so that's what this list is for. I really hope people that see this list don't think it's a celebration of the subject matter, or an "ooh, look at how scandalous this is!" kind of bullshit clickbait; rather, it's more of an experiment to see just how many movies there are featuring rape, and can maybe exist as a blanket trigger warning for people who are avid movie watchers but are cautious of rape scenes. There are spoilers here. Some of these movies' reputations precede themselves but others might be more of a surprise.</p><p>The rules are very simple. In order to qualify for this list, the movie must depict or imply the act of sexual assault, attempted or successful, or have rape serve as a major point in the plot. The sex of the victim or the perpetrator doesn't matter. The rape doesn't have to be the focus of the movie. It doesn't matter whether it's been played for laughs or not.</p><p>Obviously, this isn't really a nuanced list, nor is a movie's inclusion meant to be a mark of shame. Note that just because a movie is on this list doesn't mean that it was bad, or that the topic of rape was handled inappropriately, so you'll probably see a lot of B movie bullshit beside otherwise fantastic films. There's a world of difference between movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and, say, Gutterballs. The point is to illustrate how many movies out there have rape or attempted rape in them.</p><p>Check the notes for details. I haven't seen most of these, so I could be misinformed about some of the movies in this list. Pleaaaase let me know if I've gotten something wrong. Remember that all suggestions will always be welcome, as this is an ongoing project that I will continue for the duration of my membership on Letterboxd, and as long as I keep watching movies. My goal is to document as many movies that fit the criteria above as possible, no matter how obscure, lowbrow or seemingly insignificant.</p><p>IMPORTANT NOTE: Something I forgot to mention was that documentaries that address sexual assault/rape (such as The Hunting Ground, Catching the Friedmans, The Invisible War) will not be included in this list, since it's more about the use of rape as a plot device in media.</p><p><b>OTHER LISTS ADDRESSING SEXUAL ASSAULT:</b><br /><a href="https://letterboxd.com/liveandrew/list/genre-exploitation-rape-and-revenge-100-years/" rel="nofollow">Exploitation: Rape and Revenge (100 Years)</a></p>

<p>A <b>cult film </b>is a film that has acquired a cult following. Cult films are known for their dedicated, passionate fambase, an elaborate subculture that engage in repeated viewings, quoting dialogue, and audience participation. Inclusive definitions allow for major studio productions, especially box office bombs, while exclusive definitions focus more on obscure, transgressive films shunned by the mainstream. </p><p><br />The term <i>cult film</i> itself was first used in the 1970s to describe the culture that surrounded underground films and midnight movies, though <i>cult </i>was in common use in film analysis for decades prior to that.</p>
