“The Magdalene Sisters” which related the real life experiences and abuse stories of teenage girls sent to Catholic run homes for difficult, wayward, or ‘fallen’ teens in Ireland. I haven’t seen some of the other films you list but “The Exorcist” I remember thinking was scary and freaky when I saw it at nine and lame and disappointing when I saw it again in my late teens.
