What movie caused the greatest emotional response for you.

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

Forest Gump and Castaway always make me kind of sad. Thanks a lot Tom Hanks. I hate being sad.

Tom Hanks ... way too underrated, minus his WW2 wankfests.

As Good As It Gets .... one of the greatest romcoms of all time. Jack Nicholson = God

 

[Autofaux]

The Fountain. Everything just weaved together so well, and the imagery was spot on.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

Up, Toy Story 3, and Schindler's List.......................yeah

i have to agree with all of those plus rocky and cast away

 

[Dark2003]

Casshern good action powerful meaning

 

[CheesusCrust]

'Bambi', 'The Lion King' and 'The Fox and the Hound'

[The_Splatterer]

UP!

oh and when i first saw the first pokemon movie...

 

[Hafnium]

Watch a little Italian movie called "Life is Beautiful"


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118799/


Makes every other movie listed here seem pathetic... as far as sadness...

Really liked that movie, and yeah it was very sad.

Also on my list are Grave of the fireflies, Up, Mary & Max, and Avatar (Yeah I said it!)

 

[A-Heart-Of-Gold]

All the Star Wars triliogy!

I cryed so much the first time I saw Return of the jedi!

 

[Riobux]

Green Mile made me cry, a lot.

Spoiler

John Coffey having to walk The Green Mile made me cry the most. I think I was about...14 when I first watched it.

The book also was the only book that has ever made me cry.

Spoiler

The details about Mr Jingles dying just as the cruel nursing helper was about to stomp on it was just depressing. I was about 18 when I first read it and cried my eyes out reading it.

 

[Folio]

Pokémon, yes POKÉMON! I was 11 years old...
I got scared at Lord Of The Rings when I was 13. Even though a kid behind me was 12 and was bored shitless.

But Fight Club, I won't talk about Fight Club. Still, holy hell.

 

[AidoruKami]

A recent one, actually. Toy Story 3. The ending killed me....

 

[Cartman2nd]

Blade Runner. Hands down.

Oh that poor Roy Batey...

No you don't get spoilers for a movie all the forum's already seen anyway!

All those moments will be lost... like tears in the rain

Also: Oldboy and Schindler's List had very powerful endings.

 

[Magnalian]

Of Mice And Men.
I only felt a little bit sad though, movies don't have that much of an impact on me.

 

[r0mulu5]

There has been a few such as gladiator at the end, but the movie that caused little beads of salty water running down my face was definitely Schindler's List... pretty much the whole way through

 

[Meemaimoh]

Life is Beautiful. Oh, man. I sobbed.

 

[Zeema]

Shawshank Redemption And Marly and Me i cried for ages

 

[Zeriah]

Schindler's List
Grave of the Fire Flies

 

[Assassinscreed548]

I have cried over too many movies...some beacause they are sad, some because they are just so brilliant.

Forrest Gump, Dead poets Society, Gilbert Grape, Once upon a time in America, and dozens more

 

[Chechosaurus]

UP made me want to cry but I am a big manly man who wears Muppet pyjama bottoms and a big fluffy dressing gown that is two sizes too big. Yeah, hear me roar!

The Edukators didn't exactly get an emotional response but it REALLY made me want to break into rich people's houses and rearrange all of their furniture and put their stereo on the fridge.

I might have to say that Into The Wild was probably the film that got the biggest emotional response to - I didn't cry on anything but I was just so attached to the main character that I felt everything that he felt. It was weird and wonderful.

 

[TheXRatedDodo]

There have been many films that have ran me through a gamut of emotions, happiness, sadness, suspense, terror, blah blah. But for the greatest single emotional impact for me, it has to be David Lynch's Inland Empire.
In terms of what it did to me, it was about as subtle, varied and nuanced as a brick through the window, but I have never felt a purer, more overwhelming feeling of being completely and utterly terrified for my own sanity while watching that movie.
Life changing.

Very true its deffinately one of my favourites. David Lynch's Eraserhead was quite unnerving to psychologically too. But that was meant to be a horror.

Everything he's ever done is quite unnerving psychologically though, but Eraserhead is definitely the other big one for me. I do have a massive soft spot for that film and adore it unconditionally, Inland Empire sticks out to me because it represents a period of my life so perfectly. Eraserhead is overall a very negative feeling film with basically nothing in it saying that things COULD turn out okay. Inland Empire, fundamentally, has a happy ending, which I think is the key difference. And it does no harm that it's twice as long as Eraserhead too. Just when I'm really starting to go under, Eraserhead finishes, but Inland Empire just keeps going.
Love it.
