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. Veritas en Lux! Jimmy The Hutt

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

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

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...

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.

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.... Veritas en Lux! Jimmy The Hutt

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.

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.

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.

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 |

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!!

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. |

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.

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

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.

"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. Last edited by anleja; 10-24-2003 at 05:54 PM.. |
