Movies that are only good when you're in a certain mood

This is thread that came to mind when reading the posts about movies that changed your opinion on a second viewing. The two that come to mind for me are:

Spaceballs: Stupidest movie ever when I'm not in the mood, hilarious when I am or when I'm with the right buddies.

Cast Away: Long and boring sometimes, compelling and intriguing other times.

I think every movie qualifies. Why would you watch it if you weren't in the mood to?

When I get burned by a chick, I pop in Texas Chainsaw Massacre and smile.

I'd agree with Cast Away, when I'm depressed I love that movie.

I'd say that I can only watch Schindler's List on special occasions. Not the kind of movie I'd pop in while eating dinner.

Absolutely. I literally have to prepare myself for days before watching that movie--it is so depressing.

I feel this way about Fight Club. I can't just throw FC into the DVD player, I have to be in an aggressive mood to enjoy it.

Requiem for a Dream
Trainspotting

For me, it's sad or disturbing films I don't just pop in regularly, like I would LOTR:FOTR:EE, Matrix or Leon for example.

Some of mine I have to be in a mood for:
City of Angels
American History X
Seven
