Drama. Preferably movies pre-1980s, but if you don't know any, whatever you reply with will do...
Someone on here recommended the movie "Capharnaum", but I like to do everything chronologically, usually from the 1930s (talkies) and onward to the present day to compare and to trace the evolution.

Luke cutting off Vader's hand in Return of the Jedi. I've seen 5,000 movies, but that wasn't one of them. Was revenge the central theme?

At the moment I can't recall any before the 80s. But the first one which comes to mind is The Gift (2000).
***Don't read this if you don't want a plot point given away.*** Buddy (Giovanni Ribisi) is functional but seems a bit mentally disturbed. He keeps referring to "the blue diamond", but it's not known what he means. One day Buddy's mother calls Annie (Cate Blanchett) for help. Annie rushes over to their house and sees that Buddy has his father outside tied to a chair. Buddy douses him with gasoline and keeps yelling "you shouldn't do that to your little boy!" Then he sets him on fire. As the father is burning, Annie notices a tattoo of a big blue diamond below his belly-button.

When she grows up, adopted daughter Christina writes a book about her mother Joan, which then becomes a movie !  |
