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!

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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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. Last edited by porndude; 11-13-2004 at 11:36 AM.. |

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.

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.

Many excellent films in this list but only a few stand out for me as painfully good. Standouts...
Quote:
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.
