Movies to watch alone

I recently watched the grey last night alone in my dark room and holy crap that was the best movie to watch in the dark so thrilling and sad. Are there any movies that should be watched alone and in the dark?

John Carpenter's The Thing. The sense of isolation is creepy and fantastic even before the terrifying bits really set in, and the score by Ennio Morricone fits the desolate setting perfectly.Also has one of my favorite endings of any film.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. if you watch it with friends one of them might say something and that'll be precious seconds you spend not being completely engaged in that masterpiece.

If you want to be scared then watch Event Horizon.

I'm going to throw in 'The Road' here. Watch it alone in the dark.

Spring Breakers. You weren't watching it for the plot to begin with.

The Descent. In the pitch black. With good surround sound. On a big screen. Prepare your diaper.

I personally think Taxi Driver is one of the best movies to watch by yourself. Also one of my favorite movies of all time.

I would have to say my top three would be: I Saw The Devil, Pulse, and Rosemary's Baby.

Enter the Void makes you feel like you're the one experiencing this crazy/awesome high. Definitely a great movie to watch on your own.

Paranormal Activity.

Alot of people hate what this series has become or whatever but I sincerely think if you watch this film home alone you will be listening for the smallest noises in your house.

lost in translation, the shining, seem to be the top 2 movies i can think of which are better to see by yourself in the dark than with other people

As someone else said, Enter The Void. If you have headphones I would recommend using them as it's all filmed first person (to a point). Beautifully shot film.
