Movies That Made You Hurt
 
By which I mean, movies that really hit you on an emotional level, not those films that were so horrible that you felt physical pain.

Mine:
Empire Of The Sun
Blade Runner (Director's Cut)
Phenomenon
Shindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
Anna and The King
The Abyss
American Beauty

I'll add more later as I think of them....

Feel free to post your own.

The best of the best was the first movie that almost made me cry. I was only 11 at the time.

goddfather40 10-20-2003 09:53 PM

Schindler's List is the ultimate in emotional intensity.

The sentinmental sports movies tend to be emotionally charged for me too, movies like:
Rudy
Field of Dreams

CSflim 10-21-2003 03:58 AM

hhmmm....recently it was Love Liza.
Warning, do not watch this movie if you are feeling in anyway depressed or down...it won't help! :lol:

Nefir 10-21-2003 05:31 AM

Artificial Intelligence... Damn you, Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg, for making me depressed for a week. Gaah...

monkeydriven 10-21-2003 05:43 AM

Kids
Trainspotting
A Clockwork Orange
Requiem for a Dream
Bully



All great movies that leave you physically sick after seeing them

Kadath 10-21-2003 05:45 AM

Three off the top of my head.

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
Heat
Braveheart

bundy 10-21-2003 06:11 AM

Schindlers List comes to mind immediately. iīve never wept like that before.
Braveheart was moving.
the English Patient moved me in a similar way.

Swingers, although a different style, cuts too close to the bone for my liking, i canīt watch it these days ... it makes me wince.

as for physical hurt - well, the suicide scene in Rules of Attraction made me feel ill.. like i needed to spew... very moving...

quadro2000 10-21-2003 12:30 PM

Okay, I'll be honest here.

I cry at the end of Monsters, Inc. every single time.

When Sulley opens the closet door and we don't actually see Boo, but we see his face upon seeing her...such a sincere gesture of love for another person, the kind of love that isn't selfish at all and is completely giving...I always lose it.

Stare At The Sun 10-21-2003 12:39 PM

American History X. Many mixed emotions with that movie.

JimmyTheHutt 10-21-2003 12:47 PM

I think I'm the only person on earth who found Trainspotting to be a brilliant black comedy. But then again, I have a seriously twisted sense of humor.

I'd forgotten about Braveheart, as I spend most of my time pointing out the huge glaring historical mistakes to people completely ignorant of history. Despite that, it was a superb movie, and that ending scene (torture and execution) gets me every time.

I also just thought to include SLC Punk. That ending scene also ruins me.

Great additions, everyone, keep 'em coming....

Irreversible and Salo: 120 days of Sodom are the two films that I can only watch about once every year or so. Any more than that is too much. They're both brilliant movies but they're such brutal portrayals of human evil that they depress me for weeks afterwards.

It's pretty much supposed to be a black comedy...but few people really "get" black comedy.
I love it!

Hrothgar 10-21-2003 01:53 PM

Irreversible. The opening scene in the undeground club was nausea inducing. The rape in the tunnel is hard to watch. Gaspar Noe's use of "white noise" and free floating camera shots is genius. I love this sad, happy, disturbing movie.

Moskie 10-21-2003 02:26 PM

American Beauty. Lester Burnham is one my favorite characters, and watching his death is heart wrenching.

*sigh* Monsters, Inc. too.... I don't think any other movie has ever shown/created such a true child as Boo.

All right, I'm gonna get flogged for this last one: Shakespeare in Love. I'm a self-proclaimed Shakespeare buff, and this movie did a great job of using his plays to make what I think is one of the only recent beleivable love stories.

TrogDor 10-21-2003 02:38 PM

Pay it forward (Ok yea, this movie is so incredibly sad at the end)

Bowling for clumbine was both funny and scary at the same time.

Nikilidstrom 10-21-2003 02:39 PM

Call me sick, but I found A Clockwork Orange, while full of poignant social commentary even in this day and age, to be one of the funniest black comedies ever filmed. The multitude of mini-satires in that film just kill me.

As far as movies that just bring me to my knees everytime, just about anything with a self sacraficing hero in it will make me ball like a baby. Schindlers List, Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, etc etc.... If there ever were men and women of this caliber in life, they sure aren't around any longer, and that gets to me everytime.

A couple of love stories wreck me too, like When A Man Loves A Woman and Hope Floats. Ok, so I am a puss, sue me:)

Mr.Deflok 10-21-2003 02:58 PM

Monsters Inc's ending for sure.
Jin-Roh (the whole film made me so sad)
The Labyrinth always makes me feel happy and like a kid again and I find myself oogling at the screen full of goblins.

Eclipse26 10-22-2003 07:15 PM

Dr. Zhivago
Last of the Mohicans

BubblegumTeflon 10-22-2003 11:29 PM

Yeah Requiem for a Dream is one movie that you watch once, and only once. It's good but. . .show it to your friends and leave the room while it's on.

Requiem for A Dream

K-Wise 10-23-2003 02:34 AM

I'm a bit of a softy but some a those chick movies I like a lot. Ex:
3 to Tango
Here On Earth (I actually felt deep sorrow for the guy. Thought Josh actually acted that one really well)
Basically any of those movies having to do with a guy lovin his best girl friend touch a small nudge in my past.

Hardball actually brought a tear to my eye. Dunno what it was but during the funeral scene I just let go and one came down.

Braveheart is one of my favorite movies ever! Most recently I thought The Pianist and About Schmidt had some very emotional moments to them that were moving....mostly in The Pianist though. Schmidt had more comedic moments than sad ones.

A lot of the war films are very emotion driven. Saving Private Ryan, We Were Soldiers, Full Metal Jacket, Glory, Rambo(j/k) etc. Hmm I'll probably think of more later on. Drawing a blank right now.

Asta!!

Bridges of Madison County
Mr. holland's opus
i have no explanation why but for some reason the endings to both movies made me ball my eyes out.i didn't even think either succeedded as a movie and yet both were tearjerker's for me at the time i watched them.

rogue49 10-23-2003 06:27 AM

Phenomenon
Gattaca
Glory
Dune
Highlander
Green Mile

All of these movies don't make me tear up,
but they do something to me at a deep level.
I shiver/tingle when I see them.

Funny thing is, I don't tear up with sad movies,
only during certain happy endings...weird.

SabrinaFair 10-23-2003 01:30 PM

The Cider House Rules, namely when Fuzzy dies. My *dad* cried when Fuzzy died, and Daddy don't cry.

Anna and the King got to me...so did City of Angels. And I BAWLED the first time I saw Armageddon, because of the scene where the dad's saying goodbye to the daughter. I'm really close to my dad, and movies with moments like that make me weep. Hell, the father-daughter moments in "Father of The Bride" choked me up.

Off the top of my head:

American Beauty
Adaptation
High Fidelity
SLC Punk (created a huge lifestyle change for me)
Pulp Fiction
Mr. Holland's Opus (Don't know why, don't even remember it)

How could I forget my favorite: Willy Wonka! It has always made a huge impression on me.
The Royal Tannenbaums

There are many many more, I'm sure I'll edit a few more in after dinner.

Mr. Spacemonkey 10-23-2003 04:25 PM

I would have to say the Green Mile was pretty emotional. Artificial Intelligence is another film that stands out. And American History X.

yankeefatboy 10-23-2003 04:31 PM

Field of Dreams. I've never "had a catch" with my dad.

BulletBob 10-23-2003 07:21 PM

Forest Gump
Punch-Drunk Love

And for physical pain Jackass:The Movie. By far, it's the only movie that has made my abdomen muscles hurt from laughing so much.

Fremen 10-23-2003 07:30 PM

The Fox and the Hound.

When they had to part ways.

2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange (i love kubrick so)
Green Mile (only movie ive ever cried in)
American History X
Once through Requiem for a Dream was all i could muster

I'll agree with saving private ryan, the scene where they are wrestling on the ground and the german guy slowly plunges the knife into the guys chest ... disturbed me for about 2 weeks. I dunno, its like he was staring death right in the face and tried his absolute hardest to fight it but couldnt. just really really sad.

oh and blazing saddles

Dibbler 10-24-2003 09:14 AM

Dancing with Wolves - Made me feel so bad for being a "white man". I can't even watch that movie anymore cuz I just get pissed.

anleja 10-24-2003 05:45 PM

"Amelie" is one that comes to mind. It is a French film with English subtitles. Anyway, there is a scene where the title character gets her heart broken, and to illustrate how she felt the film makers made her turn to water and splash to the ground. Okay, it probably sounds dumb seeing my description, but it is very emotional when you actually see it.

"Dancer in the Dark" with Bjork is probably the most depressing movie I've ever seen. She plays a woman who is going blind and is saving money so she can pay for her son to have an operation so he won't also go blind. She gets screwed over and it sucks. The movie is very good, I think that even people who don't like Bjork's music should check it out, they just might like it.

I've never cried during a movie, but came close at the end of "The 6th Sense" when the kid is telling his mom about her dead mom. It struck a nerve, I suppose.

*edit- "The Fisher King" is always emotional for me to watch. When Jeff Bridges finds out the guy he talked to flipped out and killed those people is pretty crazy. So is the part when Robin Williams goes on that date and everything is looking good for him, then he has that bad hallucination with that medievil horse and knight, and ends up getting the shit beat out of him within inches of his life. Another good movie. Terry Gilliam is awesome.

soccerchamp76 10-24-2003 08:26 PM

Schindler's List
Shawshank Redemption
American Beauty
Gladiator (the end fight scene and the face on Commodus' face when the dagger is inside him; and the scene when Maximus finally reveals himself to the Emperor, and the look again on Commodus' face when he realizes the 'Spaniard' is actually Maximus)
