Hotel Rwanda. I was so sick after watching it. I was in high school when the genocide was going on, and I don't really remember it well. I called my dad after the movie, all choked up, and asked him WHY the hell we didn't do something about it. I was disturbed for days after watching that film.

Titanic - no, not because I love chick flicks. It's mostly the scene after the boat sinks, and the ONE boat goes back to look for people, and you see all the dead people in the water, particularly that woman with her baby. It kills me.

Saving Private Ryan. I really don't like this movie, and the opening war scene made me physically ill. My grandpa fought on D Day, was wounded, and lay on the beach all day until help could get to him. Watching that kind of gave me a small glimpse into what he may have felt that day, and the horrors that the men went through.

Sybill. Watching the scenes of abuse in that movie was very painful.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The whole movie is great, but watching Randle McMurphy breathe life into those men's lives and then being turned into one of them is so disheartening.

Hmmm...I guess all the movies I chose have to do with the way that humans treat each other...interesting.
