LoTR 1 & 2: movies that caused me physical pain.

Braveheart of course
Some moments of the LOTR movies make me hurt. I love the music they used with the movies.
Requiem for a dream

I made my wife watch Requiem for a Dream after seeing it, and it didn't phase her. I don't know why that bugged me so much but it did, it was kinda like we wern't connecting on the same level, but I guess I can forgive her... Fav line in the movie: Ass to Ass!

Just saw "The pianist"

As of this very moment, I am anti-war.

Armageddon
American Beauty
Gladiator
Dream with the Fishes
Matrix 1-3
City of Angels
Wizard of Oz

I think its called "My Life" with Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman. Its about him making a video tape, for his son, thats not born yet. Now, thats a sad movie.

I have to say, The Green Mile beat me up pretty good.

The Green Mile gets me every time.

American History X
Gladiator
Man on the Moon (Jim Carey as Andy Kauffman)

American History X just choked me so badly...

With Gladiator I was really trying to hold off giving off tears in the theatres... lol

With Man on the Moon though, it just got me when Jim's character finds out that the "special" medical treatment for cancer was just a sham.

Saving Private Ryan, especially the first 15-20 minutes of the movie. It's sad to watch because it really happened and Steven Spielberg did a good job at making it as real as possible.

Black Hawk down.
I was mad when the skinnies were killing the american's. I dont like movies where ppl die.

don't laugh, but both of the Babe movies (about the pig).
Especially in the second one when he saves the drowning dog.

Those movies are cute. They didn't make me hurt, but I can only speak for myself. But hey, I can't really throw too many stones. Look at my list :).

Ohhh man, Requiem for a Dream... fucked with my mind, my body, and my soul.

Thats the only movie that I can think of... It's in a class of its own

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Hands down.

Jim Carrey crying with Beck's "Everybody's gotta learn sometime".
That whole movie made me cry. And a deep depression the two times I saw it in theatres. Hard to keep tears away when you're with a date.

I loved that movie. I will never watch it again.

Veritas en Lux!

finally, someone who shares my feelings towards LOTR.

the shawshank redemption, when he finally runs free.

Where's all the old classics from when I was a kid that made you leave the room or risk bawling like your little sister?

Love Story?

The Champ?

One that got me was Gus Van Sandts' 'My own private idaho'. The movie closes to 'Have a nice day' instead of 'The end' to make you realise just how good you have it.

Field of Dreams. When he and his dad start playing catch with each other, I'm done.

<--- Didn't play catch with his daddy. :(

YES!!!!!! That's the exact reason why Armageddon gets me all sentimental.

Rudy - Underdog story, theme song, enough said.

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned: Miracle

Just so much drama, and you know its going to happen, but you still get excited as its happening. I love the song from the movie, but I don't know the name, anybody?

A League of Their Own - don't know why, but when the sisters embrace at the end.

ok a lot of mine are the same as some of yours...with a few different ones

highlander (1 and 4) Spoiler: I went into hysterics when Conner was killed in the 4th one
passion of the christ
terms of endearment
schindler's list
braveheart (when she dies and he goes to the funeral)
glory
mr hollands opus
lilo and stitch
Ice Castles
Titanic--I start crying when she jumps off the lifeboat back on the the ship
Charlottes Web
Steel Magnolias
Beaches
The Seventh Sign
Philadelphia
A Walk to Remember

and...its not a movie... but...Frosty the Snowman...Im 36 and I still cry when he melts

But he comes back again someday.... :D

-----------

Requiem for a Dream absolutely...

I can't watch For Love of the Game without a box of tissues nearby.
I defy any person to get thru Brian's Song without crying... :)

Like Shani, though it's not a movie... but Charlie Brown's Christmas will do it for me everytime...

Aw, damn. I'm never quit sure what I'm supposed to feel at the end of that movie. Definitely powerful.

Parts of Braveheart
AI
The part of LOTR where merry (or pippin?) is singing and the soldiers are riding into certain death
Oh, and the Green Mile

-Shine (not to be confused with 'the Shining')
-Imortal Beloved (Beethoven, unplugged)
-Mindwalk (I saw this when I was about 7 or 8, and it taught me to question)
-Memento (it'll blow your mind, backwards)
-Trainspotting (best representation of heroine lifestyle ever)
-Life is Beautiful a.k.a La Vita è bella (There's something about this movie that really hits home)
-The Elephant Man (genius)
-Casablanca (Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman broke my heart)
-Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope (this movie almost made me wet myself the first time I saw it)

I think those are my biggies, I'll post more if I remember.

And a new one, that I actually saw a while ago but never bothered to put up:

Life as a House

This film is a gut wrench if ever there was one. If you ever want to see Hayden Christiansen act, see this film. Lucas has ruined him.

A Beautiful Mind - my brother was schizophrenic. A powerful movie that was *very* hard to watch.

Saving Private Ryan - the scene at the end where the German stabs the American with the knife at the end of a very long fight. He puts his finger up to his lips as he stabs him as the American soldier struggles for his life. I've never gotten over that scene. Not to mention the first 20 minutes.

The Rookie - great, feel good, inspirational movie.

Love, Actually - great romantic flick about requited and unrequited love. Awesome.

Shawshank Redemption - (unedited) The scenes where they show him getting raped and beaten are brutal. Can't remember when the last time I saw the unedited version was, but those still haunt me.

Revenge - (Kevin Costner/Madelyn Stowe) Man has affair with gangster's beautiful wife. Gangster finds out, slices wife up, sends her to a whorehouse where she's turned into a junkie and sleeps with 50 men a day. It's been ages, but when you find out what happens to Stowe and how bad she looks it's heartbreaking.

My .02.

Passion of the Christ..............I moved me......re-established my faith. Glory to Be

8 Seconds.........I turn in to a big pile of cowboy mush.

Shhh
 

I thought it was adorable too. Definitely shed a couple of tears. But shh...

(As an edit) P.S. The Patriot made me hate the British for like a week. When the first son to be killed died I was a blubbering idiot in the movie theater. And then when the church got burnt down with the people in it...horrible. Braveheart is also a tear jerker at times.

These made my eyes wet:
All or Nothing
The Snow Walker
A Beautiful Mind
Far from Heaven
Full Metal Jacket
House of Sand and Fog
On the Corner
Dark City

And some non-english ones:
Yi ge dou bu neng shao aka Not One Less
In den Tag Hinein aka The Days Between
Io non ho paura aka I'm Not Scared
Les Invasions barbares aka The Barbarian Invasions

Forgive me, I'm going to bump this thread because I seem to have a masochistic love for movies that make me feel bad, sad, or whatever, so, I'd love to hear more recommendations :)

As for me:

Irréversible
American Beauty
American History X
Requiem for a Dream
Life is Beautiful
Se7en
1984
Bully
The Shawshank Redemption
Good Will Hunting
My Life (this movie is WAY underrated)
Philadelphia
8mm
Edit: forgot about One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The Butterfly effect. Either the real ending or the alternate ending where he ends up Spoiler: strangling himself with the umbilical cord inside the womb . Really makes you think about how fragile the human mind is.

Also how anything, such as me breaking a window, can immensely affect the future. Scary.

I am Sam - Gets me every fucking time. My best friend and I sobbed through the whole thing. I'm such a mama's boy.

Life as a House - Again, just kills me. Such a beautifully moving film.

Mr. Holland's Opus - Enter cryfest...now.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Never watch this movie when you're drunk and/or heartbroken. You may as well cut yourself to start with.

Saving Private Ryan - I may be a pacifist, but I'm a sucker for a heroic ending.

Million Dollar Baby. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. Honestly. Every time I see it I'm depressed for like a week afterwards.

A.I. Artificial Intellegence (Bad movie, but always gets me. Just when you think things are getting better, wham!)
Passion of the Christ
Hook
Angels in the Outfield (New one......ok stop laughing!!!)
Signs (The part where their all eating dinner and everbody starts crying, touching family moment, wooooooo.....man.)

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.

There is a hallmark in my moviegoing, and I will get to it in a minute. First i will tell you I am quite empathic I guess, in that i can usually put myself in a character's shoes and understand why they feel what they feel. This can make my movies vastly different thatn most peoples because what theydo is kinda real to me.

Anyway, the scene at the end of chasing Amy where Holden has the sitdown with Alyssa and banky, eevry time I see it, my stomach hurst as I try to telepathically stop him from doing it. It is the only movie I can think of where every time i watch it, a part of me hopes it will be different than the other 30 or so times I've seen it.

Any movie where some guy gets kicked in the 'nads.

Many excellent films in this list but only a few stand out for me as painfully good. Standouts...
Rented that one last week and couldn't even finish it. Hits too close.

What Dreams May Come - Gorgeous movie but with so much sorrow.
Philadelphia - Can't get much worse than disease plus hate.
Fisher King - Williams digs deep. Can't imagine where he goes for this stuff.
Life as a House - Kline is great.
Awakenings - Williams/DeNiro, I'm in a rut.
Brian's Song... yep.

Eternal Sunshine was a candidate but resolved beautifully. The compromise of love.

The movies that affect me most are without a tangible villain. Men can be hated, punished, vanquished, and the outcome is usually predictable, often feels contrived and loses my attention even if the loss was powerful. OTOH the loss or separation by disease or accident, when the enemy is emotionless, unassailable, without human flaw, those make me feel helpless. Resolution must come from within, and if it's pushing my buttons I feel how I don't have a handle on it.

Donnie Darko
Requiem for a Dream
Labyrinth
Big Fish
Schindler's List
