What movie really moved you most emotionally?

Titanic. It appealed to my fascination with the ship and also was very sad.

Titanic. That was just so sad at the end when he (Jack) drowned... The next morning I actually got up and started to cry...

[DarleneIllyria]

Forrest Gump- It was so funny in some parts, but other parts really made me cry my eyes out. Ya know at the end when that feather is flying in the air- I really start crying at that moment.

[angel676]

There are three movies that really touched me emotionally:
Titanic
The Miracle Worker
Night Mother

[Cokies]

"Glory"
I was absent the second day we watched it, so I asked to borrow it from my teacher Mr. Nottingham to "catch up". I took it home, and watched the whole thing through. It might of been just the exceptional moving Jerry Goldsmith score, but I bawled at the end. Geez, when the jerk from earlier yells, "Give em hell 54!" I just broke down.
I don't know, maybe I was a bit sensitive anyway that week... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif It was still one of the most powerful films I've ever seen.

[Penny Lane]

I will have to say that it was the TV movie "Sybil" starring Sally Field.It was heart- wrenching!

[Swimfan85]

and she even digs my stupid sarcastic rhymes
likes herself some wine, beer and cheese
when you ask a question, just say please
makes funny songs, knows inside jokes
she'll tell you she don't need blokes
that's completely true - don't think it a lie
or i will smash your head into some other guy
she's the sweetest person you'll ever meet
yo a welcome to her world is truly a treat
when i get married, want jenn to be my maid of honor
that's a job that i would only wanna bestow upon her
member of my posse, a friend through and through
everything she says, you better take it for true
so we got PERSONAL things, don't need to hate

I thought Rose died at that part. I just figured Rose's spirit went off to be with Jack. Did that make any sense to anybody what I just said?

that. That's what happened!

[Ags2000]

Most recently, the movie that hit me the strongest emotionally was Pearl Harbor. Not because of the fact that it was Pearl Harbor, but it was because of a friend I had just lost a few months earlier. I was doing fine in the movie, until the attack started and it showed the cook on the USS Arizona. A bomb came through to the galley and the cook looked up and he shook his fist or something (I don’t remember exactly) then it explodes. I started bawling right there.

It hit me so hard because I had lost a good friend of mine on October 12, 2000. If that date sounds familiar to any of you, it’s because that is the day that the USS Cole was attacked while refueling in Yemen.

When it first happened, I didn’t know that Ronnie was on the Cole. The last time I had heard, he was on another destroyer. A few days later, my dad and I were discussing that for those they had not already found, it was useless they were all dead.

Late the next night, I was outside decorating for Halloween. A friend of mine was over helping me and she had gone inside for something, I don’t remember now what for. She comes outside and asked me if I knew a guy by the name of Ronchester. I said, “Ronnie, Ronnie Santiago. Yea I know him. I met him in junior high and we went to high school together. I haven’t seen him since he joined the Navy. What about him?” I could just tell from the look on her face. I dropped everything and ran inside to the television. They were just finishing the story that stated that he along with a guy from another town around here was among the missing. I broke down, I just started crying because I knew there was no way he had made it if they had not found him by then.

October was pretty hard for me last year. They had his funeral Friday October 27, 2000. I was glad that my dad was able to take off work and go with me, because I know I would not have made it through without him. He couldn’t stay for the burial, but by that time, I had met up with several classmates of mine. We had all gone to high school together and so we were supporting each other and sharing our packages of kleenex’s with everyone else. It was a really nice ceremony. As nice as burial ceremonies can be. He had full military honors. I always shiver when they play taps after firing the 21-gun salute. Ronnie was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, which was given to his parents by the Admiral who had come to the ceremony. Also, Ronnie’s parents were presented with a quilt that his shipmates from the ship he had been on prior to the Cole had made for his parents. Every single sailor and officer had signed it. It was the coolest thing. The same group also had made a photo album from all of their pictures that they had taken of Ronnie while he was on that ship. It was pretty neat to see.

Afterwards, I went to my mom’s school because she was on lunch break at that time. I had been doing fine. I hadn’t really cried during the funeral or burial much, and I thought that I had myself under control. I walked into the teacher’s lounge and I saw my mom. I walked over to her and said, “Hi mom.” As soon as she looked up at me, I lost it. I just started sobbing uncontrollably. Mom jumped up from her chair to try to comfort me, but it was no use, I was too far-gone. I hadn’t had a time when I could just be me and not have to be strong for anybody else. I needed somebody to be strong for me and when I saw my mom, I just let go. The other teachers looked up in surprise because none of them had ever seen me cry, especially cry that hard. Mom finally took me to a bathroom and calmed me down.

Mom told me later that after I left all of the teachers asked mom what was wrong with me and if I was okay. Mom explained to them that I had just come from Ronnie’s funeral. Mom said that sparked up a discussion among the teachers about Ronnie because he had gone to that junior high way back when as well.

It has taken me a long time to try to get through this. Then when I went and saw Pearl Harbor, it just all came back in a flood and I couldn’t hold back the tears.

THe Patriot and Braveheart

[zack]

The Shawshank Redemption is my favorite movie, but I think What's Eating Gilbert Grape is the most emotional movie I've ever seen.

[a NaNcY FaNaTiC]

There are many! Some are Titanic, Pay it Forward, and like someone else said--Shawshank Redemption & Gilbert Grape. Also Steel Magnolias. Those are ones I can think of rite now, but I know there are more.

[thegreatunknown]

Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back, Smokey and the Bandit part 3, Saving Silverman, Little Nicky, and Jackass. Now those movies all hit me really emotionally!!!

[TJL]

I think the last movie that really got to me was "Cast Away."

Like in Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks creates a character that goes through this amazing journey we can't help but be amazed by.

One thing I have noticed is the way both films end. We see our hero, alone, wondering where his life is going to take him next.

Interesting stuff.

[AnaheimPMWitch]

the ones that really got to me were
Titanic and pearl Harbor

[Brian]

The Adventures of Milo and Otis. That one was so sad because it was about a cat and dog on their own. It brought tears to my eyes throughout the movie. :crying:

[Brian]

Oh my gosh, that ending was so sad. I should have remembered to put that in my previous post.

[dlemond]

Ordinary People - quite moving, running the whole gambit of emotions: sadness, empathy,confusion, anger, and acceptance.
Just a really good movie and a tight conclusion.

American History X - most recent movie that stirred things inside.
People as victims of themselves, people opening their eyes, and life as part of the wheels in motion. A very human and realistic picture.

Schindler's List - Spielberg is the master manipulator and this is a great movie- and he had a great subject.

I'm stealing your 3 picks and the reasons for them. ;)
Other movies that took a few days for me to shake are:

Terms of Endearment was an emotional film that got its share of tears from me.

Sophie's Choice--the title says it all.

Kramer vs Kramer was a sad look at the breakup of a family.

Philadelphia was a heartbreaking essay on AIDS.

Leaving Las Vegas was a very sad story.

Requiem for a Dream was a glimpse into the devastating world of drugs.

Most stories about Anne Frank, if done well, wipe me out.

Going back to the 60s, The Days of Wine and Roses, told the story of a couple's descent into alcoholism (Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick).

[Titania]

gone with the wind

....it does pretty insane things to my emotions. i go from crying, to going crazy (and eventually gwtw high... ;) lol)


also Brigadoon, Wuthering Heights, and Portrait of Jennie

[Rob1]

Tough question - I would probably have to say Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, and Brian's Song (The original, I didn't see the remake.)

[*PinkLady*]

Titanic
Where the Red Fern Grows
The Diary of Anne Frank

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Movies dont give me that kind of reaction, but the only one that really had be crying was The Bear when I was 5. I still to this day refuse to watch it. I cant deal with animals in movies. I never cried for The Lion King, but now its like.... aww man!! LOl. American Graffiti gets to me too. Yah, I dont really know why..

[Lynn]

Titanic. That scene as the boat is sinking when that older couple are just holding onto each other in their room, and the mom holding her kids, and all that time the band is playing music - it just gets to me. I can't help thinking about the real Titanic and what the people on board must have been going through. :crying:

And others that have already been mentioned - Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, The Diary of Anne Frank. It really hits me emotionally when the movie is based on a true story.

[Brandon]

The Breakfast Club (when they talked about home life)
Girl, Interrupted (the whole darn thing...funny parts included)
Stand By Me (when gordie cried on chris's shoulder cuz his dad hated him)
Jack The Bear (the end when jack missed his mom cuz she died, and was crying while playing the piano. and he asked his little brother who was about 3 what mommy's favorite song was, and the dad was all 'he doesn't remember'. then the dad and jack have a good cry, and all of a sudden, the little brother goes 'jack the bear', then they all hug)
Selena (the end when Selena is in the ambulence dying, and the bitch that killed her is suicidal in her car, and then they had the tribute to selena which was the VERY sad part)
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (damn! this movie depressed me from the beginning when you meet the family)

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

Titanic, Deep Impact (like at the end...stuff like that scares me...it's like one of my biggest fears) and this one movie I can't remember the name. It's about this white woman who got raped by a black man and she gave up the daughter for adoption because she was half black (it was like in the 60's so...) and it kind of went through the girls life and her trying to find her mother...she ended up having like 3 diff mothers, one including the foster home lady.

and for Titanic...at the end, didn't she die and that was her like in heaven with all the people who died? Hmmm...that's what I always thought...

[Rockapella722]

"beaches" --- the ONLY movie i EVER cried at.

[AllIWantIsYourClutch]

Selena was really sad too.

[~*Hannah_Lee*~]

What's Eating Gilbert Grape was the saddest movie. The ending was so heartbreaking.

[Hershey]

A Cry For Help: The Tracey Thurman story:(

[Anna4]

The ending of Thelma and Louise with that music.

[Crimson and Clover]

Schindlers List i loved at the end when all the surviving jews were putting the rocks on Schindlers grave

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

The Devil's Arithmatic. It's so sad what Jewish people had to go through in the German death camps...

[MandieR1980]

Steel Magnolias
Selena (not only was she robbed of her life we were robbed of getting to know her and seeing her live her dream of becoming a major English recording artist. Today 3/31 is actually the 8th anniversary of her death)

[Jack1000]

Guys,

WOW!!!! I was gonna post this exact same thread and it's already here! There are so many but for EMOTIONAL IMPACT it has to be:

1. Walt Disney's "Bambi": So powerful and so painful to watch, I cried for 3 days and can't watch it again

2. Dominick and Eugene: Better than "Rain Man" It's a must-see you'll cry your eyes out

3. The Breakfast Club: The most realistic portral of 80's high-school life I have ever seen. The song, "Don't You Forget About Me" is brilliantly poetic to the charactors in the movie. You watch that movie and it's like watching a documentary

4. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Another movie so powerful and emotionally draining it is like watching a documentary. Jack Nickolson and Louise Fletcher created the greatest acting roles in the history of Cinema with their performances. (The person who plays Dr. Spivey in the movie was/is a REAL doctor named Dr. Dean Brooks. Many of the extras in this classic were authentic mental patients. The movie's interior was shot at a REAL mental hospital!

5. Bad Boys: The greatest film ever made about life in a juvinal prison. Sean Penn is absolutely brilliant in this role!

6. And Justice For All: The performance of Al Pachino in this gem has to be seen to be believed! (This is my favorite...."I'm pissed at the world movie!") The ending will have you yelling and screaming and just feeling good if you are having a bad day

7. Adam (TV Movie) Docudrama about the infamous case of Adam Walsh who was kidnapped and murdered after being abducted from a Sears Department Store in Florida back in 1981. His killer was never found, but the movie set up and established national child-find centers for missing/exploited kids. Adam's father is John Walsh, the host of America's Most Wanted. This movie may be the most gut-wrenching ever and is almost too painful to watch. But it is a must see!

8. Ordinary People: Shattering and unforgettable film about problems communicating within a family after a tragedy. The best "family relationship problem" drama of all time

(Please be sure as a side-note to see the theatrical versions of these films in their original uncut formats on either premium cable/VCR/DVD. The networks/standard cable edit these gems for time-constraints and content and that kills the main elements of the films (Especially with #3, #4, #5, #6) Bad Boys had been even released to DVD edited! You can now get the full 120 minute version uncut)

Jack

[*ShortCake*]

i bawled through Titanic. I bawled through Pearl Harbor... it was so sad.. I cried at the end of Moulin Rouge, I cried at the end of Selena... such a sad/terrible thing that happend to her.
