You Suffer by Napalm Death
It may be considered something of a joke by Napalm Death, but how much better an example of how important and impactful brevity can you get than a song with 4 words and lasts precisely 1.316 seconds. "You suffer, but why" sums up so much about the whole human experience.

Megan is Missing
Megan Is Missing is rarely talked about, but most can agree it is a traumatizing film. The film focuses on two best friends, who get kidnapped, the thing that is most fucked up is when they show the scene were Megan is rotting in a barrel. The director wanted to show an ugly and disgusting side of victims who are kidnapped and don’t have a happy ending, I mean, do you ever see the dead bodies of those people you hear about on the news?
