Funny Games 1997
Besides being a very effective thriller (and a violent one even though it isn't as explicit as those kind of films usually are), this movie is an interesting discussion regarding the structure and expectations of a horror movie, the role of violence, its depiction and reception by the audience.

Watching the theatrical release in a movie theater helped me disattach it from its huge legacy and zeitgeist. As a 80's sci-fi movie, this sequel is way superior than its first installment because it's able to develop a concise and compelling plot with complex and mature characters. Without the whole origin story of who is who, the main characters are able to act within the story more freely, with originality without the restrains of a gigantic franchise.
