nonniey Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Since we're doing films this week my question is which film succeeded in eliciting an emotional response from you (due to the story told - ie anger because the movies sucked doesn't count). For me it is a tie between Schindler's List ( Tear Jerker every-time I see the colorized toddler) and Paths of Glory (anger at the dishonorable conduct of the senior officers).

Going Commando Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The beginning of Up was rough. So was Toy Story 3. Schindler's List is a good one. Spielberg is good at drawing that kind of response from his audience. A lot of Tom Hanks movies that are pretty powerful. Green Mile, Forrest Gump, and Philadelphia are all emotional. Some other ones - Million Dollar Baby - Dead Man Walking - Hotel Rwanda - Big Fish - Atonement I think the one that ****ed me up the most was 12 Years A Slave. Some other ones that left me feeling hollow: Precious, Children of Men, Requiem for a Dream, Spotlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoaster Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Good call about the Hanks movies Steve. The first thing I thought of was The Green Mile. I was hammered the first time I saw that and I was welling up with tears at that one. Interesting night. Haha. The other one that's in my head right now is Field of Dreams. The end of that movie gets me every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Still have a tough time watching the end of T2. For me, the movie ends at "I need a vacation." That thumbs up **** floored me when I first saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The Yearling. When Gregory Peck has his son kill the dear ..... I was 9. In the house alone. When my Mum and her mum returned home, they literally thought we'd been burgled/ ransacked. Draws open. Things smashed and tipped over. Things strewn all over the floors. The house was in absolute carnage. I was apparently in the closet crying. Transpired, when they eventually calmed me down, I'd completely lost it and flipped at that film. Don;t remember the incident but me Ma sure as heck does. I was a good child per se but to of done that in emotional rage ..... Guess I was a sensitive kid that loved animals. Shrugs. Hail.

Destino Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 This stupid movie: It's been years and I still remind my mom of this evil movie recommendation. It's in Spanish so I doubt any of you have seen it, but if you've recently had a child don't do this to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Brian's Song. I still can't make it through the end. When i saw it the first time as a kid, it ****ed me up for a whole day,, crocodile tears. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Field of Dreams. "Dad...? Can we have a catch?" Gets me every time. ****ing Rudy. I don't care. I'll admit it. I said it in another thread but for sheer fear factor, nothing scares the crap out of me like The Shining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Bridge to Terabithia. (I never saw it coming. Cried like a baby.) And the part of Independence Day when Jasmine tries to save the FLOTUS. Alot of feels for that...two completely different worlds in those two women, very powerful scene for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCSaints_fan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Glory - "Give 'Em Hell 54th!!'', then the end scene where the bodies get thrown in the pit The Natural - for some reason I thought Roy Hobbs dies at the end, and him having a catch with his son was sort of his own verison of heaven or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Now I'm cryin' cuz that'll only make me fatter. Thanks, dude...you've been a real help this morning j/k, you didn't mean it, I know... What's with the beginning of UP? I wanted to take my grandkids when it first came out, but now I'm glad they didn't see a "grandma breakdown". I guess I'll have to see it after all.

Springfield Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Interstellar. As a father, that movie brings out the deepest rooted feelings in me. A child, who views their father as a hero, losing their father to a choice of his own. Man, that really hits me. Multiple times watching that movie, I am full on whimpering. Plus, the score, it just makes it all so powerful. I'm almost tearing up right now, just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that one (UP) and "Fox and The Hound" really affected me for an animated movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetMeSeeYourWarFace21 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 John Q. IDK if Ive ever been in a movie theater with that many people crying and sniffling. And yeah, the beginning of "UP" is crazy. Completely caught me off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Movies don't affect me that way because they're just movies, but the big exception was the end of Schindler's List when they show the actual survivors walking with the actors who portrayed them to put rocks on his grave. Then, at that moment, it wasn't just a movie - it was reality. When I was a kid, a movie that got me was the end of Heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
