My answer to this question changes a lot, but for now I'm gonna say Heathers
Dead Alive
Evil Dead 2
These are not feel good movies at all but I think really send important messages. Not for kids, but at 16+ would be good. There's very important takeaway messages in both.
Grave of the Fireflies
Requiem for a Dream
Requiem for A dream is a very good film. Its quite similar to the much older German film "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" (We children from the station zoo). The original version has a quite weird style in terms of how it tells the story but its still a very good film. Can only recommend it to everybody. Heroin one hell of A drug that can quite easily ruin everything.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
Oh one more. Contagion. Made years and years before covid - pretty spot on tho.
No one's said Network (1976) yet. It's so prescient it's kind of scary.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension - The quintessential 80s movie. Everything you need to know about the 80s is contained in this film.
Also Mr. Krabs is in it.

Full Metal Jacket.
Gladiator extended edition. No other movie matters now. Tis a masterpiece
Some great ones were already mentioned. I'll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).
