i think the way you say it definitely affects it. my wife told me i had broken a dish that i know i didn't, i just told her that i'm not sure how it broke but it's freaky that neither of us broke it and left it at that. if i kept fighting, telling her she's crazy for accusing me, clearly it was her if it wasn't me, that's gaslighting.
context is everything and the way you go about it, if it's in an abusive sort of way, makes it gaslighting too
you know you didnt break it, she blames you. i dont think thats the same as honestly telling someone they are overreacting
My Name is Julia Ross (1945)
Rosemary's Baby (1969) (Tbh I'd say all of the Polanski Apartment trilogy films have elements of this trope but RB focuses much more on that than Repulsion. The Tenant is also good).
Les Diaboliques (1955)
if you said "youre acting like this is a big deal" is that gaslighting?
i was thinking more relationship/friendship level when i read "you were gaslighting me" but its hard to understand
in a movie sense i think i get it, like momento where that girl from the matrix takes advantage of him.
no it's more a giant behavior type. If you constantly do that for every argument or discussion, then you are def gaslighting. A simple disagreement is different.
Prometheus is a movie in which Lindelof tries to gaslight the entire audience into thinking he’s a good writer until the 2nd half when it all goes to s***
Shutter Island is all about gaslighting
wasn't that basically Leo "gaslighting" himself though? Like at the end of the day that's not actually gaslighting right

according to tvtropes Kubrick actually gaslit his audience lol
Stanley Kubrick does it to the viewer in A Clockwork Orange. He made continuity errors on purpose during the scene where Alex has dinner with the author. The dishes on the table move around and the level of wine in the glasses changes between shots.
In The Shining, the hotel sets are deliberately constructed to be geometrically and architecturally impossible. It's too subtle to notice unless you are really paying attention to the sets, but rather cleverly inflicts unease in the audience.
