They're fine in appropriate doses, but I could live quite nicely without them, if I had water, food, and shelter.
And he had do-it-yourself-dentistry.

But with all kidding aside, you probably wouldn't have understood a movie like Passengers.

This is a relatively obscure film, but "Amexicano", starring Raul Castillo, which I was really enjoying...until the ending. Tragic ending. Logical. But tragic. Literally changed the way in which I looked at illegal immigration.

Absolutely right!
I remember this movie well to this day because of that ending.

The Orphanage was another great Spanish horror/fantasy movie with a very crushing ending.
