Movies that are so emotionally effecting that you can't leave you seat, you dare not move even after the credits.

ha, maybe an exagerration, but you get what I mean.


You can put them in order, but mine are in no particular order.


1. American History X
2. Requiem for a Dream
3. American Beauty
4. Kids
5. Crash
6. Trainspotting
7. Dancing In The Dark
8. The Passion of the Christ
9. 21 Grams
10. Leaving Las Vegas

None. I find quite a few movies emotionally affecting - Gladiator for example - but they don't affect me that much. It would be unseemly to let them through my protective psychological barrier.

How many of the movies on my list have you heard of?

Running On Empty.

I get lost in that movie. Most times I don't even realise what is going on around me.

Gladiator always seems to hit me for some strange reason... so does Edward Scissorhands & American Beauty.

passion of christ
the matrix trilogy ......well no the 2nd onei didn't like that on
lord of the rings trilogy... all 3 were baggin
Speak (lifetime tv verson.... was really good)
lion king... I cried so much

The Green Mile, does it for me.
I am like a ghost during and after this movie.
=\
The Butterfly Effect, hit me pretty hard, also.

Syriana, A History of Violence, American Beauty and Road to Perdition.

Lord of the Rings.

Road to Perdition.
I have yet to see that, is it any good?

Requiem for a Dream, I saw it today, damn, I thought I was never going to be the same again.

The Passion of the Christ
The Green Mile
Wide Awake
Kingdom of Heaven
Girl, Interrupted
Willy Wonka (the newest version), because it boarders on the insane. Seriously.

And others that I can't think of at this moment, which means I will have to watch every DVD in my collection to see which ones I can add.

I couldn't leave my seat at Hostel because some jerk put gum on my chair!

When I first saw Schindler's List, I seriously did not move for about an hour after the movie, and I felt just emotionless for a week afterwards, it's a very harsh movie to watch. Same with American History X, I saw that movie when I was 13 and couldn't sleep that night, I was just stunned.

1. Schindler's list
2. Crash
3. Jar head
4. Ladder 69 (or was it 59)

The Pianist

I have yet to see that, is it any good?

1. Schindler's list
2. Crash
3. Jarhead
4. Ladder 49
fixed.

1. Schindler's list
2. Crash
3. Jar head
4. Ladder 69 (or was it 59)


Jar head? Or you serious?


I thought I was going to die sitting through that horrible piece of shit you can barely call a movie.



And I forgot the Green Mile. Twas also verry sad.

Yeah, definetly those two movies.
Stalingrad, Green Street Hooligans...
I know there are others, but I can't think of them now.

The Pianist


I'll agree with you on that one.

1. V For Vendetta
2. The Last Samurai
3. Matrix 3

1. Schindler's list
2. Crash
3. Jar head
4. Ladder 69 (or was it 59)
it was 49 ...by the way i like your avatar...he's my step cousin

ladder 49... i wouldnt wanna watch it again but its the only film thats ever made me cry

oh yeh and the pianist

Requiem for a Dream, I saw it today, damn, I thought I was never going to be the same again.


YES YES YES YES YES YES

best movie ever.

Carrie, but i'm really not a movie person

Also: (it's long, I'm sorry)

1. The Last House On The Left: Made in the 70's I think, probably one of the most disgusting and nastiest movies I've ever watched. The rape and humilitiation throughout the movie is completley unbearble for me to even watch (I mean, most of the movie is just rape). I could barley get through the movie. It's so creepy because it's something that could happen to you.

2. A Clockwork Orange: Um, I saw this when my older sister rented it from Blockbuster when I was about 9 or 10. The only part that really sticks with me is when Alex and his droogs or whatever enter that house and rape that poor gir and beat her husband. That movie really creeped me out, still haven't seen a good 90% of the movie, nor do I want to.

3. Jacob's Ladder: Holy shit, again saw this movie when I was younger, and it was really freaky, not so much now that I'm older, but freaky all the same. When his girlfriend (or was it his wife) was dancing with that lizard thing, and then it got all weird and sexual or whatever, what the shit was that, man it was odd.

4. Blue Velvet: Um, this movie was just nasty, I know there's this whole cult following to it, but it's not entertaining to watch nasty shit like what's dipicted in the movie, or any of the movies I've actually mentioned above.

5. Eraser Head: The aborted fetus.... that's all I have to say, watch the movie and tell me that thing doesn't give you the friggin' creeps, they still don't know how Lynch did it, whether it was a puppet or not.

*All these movie made me motionless because of the grossness or drugged out feeling they all seemed to embody. Sorry if I pissed anyone off with the little descriptions, most of the movies I listed I saw on HBO late at night when I was under the age of about 13 or 14, and I haven't seen any of the movies since, no real desire to anymore ;]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
United States of Leland
Garden State

Also, does masturbating count as being motionless? If so, then Wild Zero also leaves me "motionless".

I completely forgot about the Last House on the Left. That movie is way fucked up.

United States of Leland
Garden State

Masturbation as motionless? Wtf are you talking about?

I'm talking about movies that just put you into shock.

He's joking...

I was stunned to my seat after The Lord Of The Rings. But that's 'cause I couldn't believe they made so much fuss over such a shit film.

The end of PotC: DMC would have left me in my seat, if it weren't for the fact that the guy who was driving me home was leaving.

Oh, and ofcourse, Titanic.

Lolita and Heathers.

The violence in the first half-hour of that movie is really overdone, which is why a lot of sickos enjoy it, but the rest of it is really good.

american beauty

Iron Jawed Angels

Eye opening, made me think about things i didn't know i didnt know

um, common guys Snakes on a Plane

this movie has already reaching cult status and it isn't even out yet

I'm pretty much expecting it to leave everyone motionless good or bad

although i think i would b more shocked and motionless if it ended up being amazing

either way, i'm going to the first screening in my town hoping ot see the best piece of shit ever

Titanic made me bawl my eyes out.
The Outsiders. <3
Thelma & Louise made me bawl my eyes out.
The Shawshank Redemption.
The Notebook.
(are you beginning to see a pattern here...)
Officer and a Gentleman.

Requiem for a Dream.

American History X is a fantastic movie, i was numb after i watched it. the ending made me scream.

i didn't think Schindlers List was that moving at all though, we watched it at school and everyone cried at one point or another but i just found it average. Probably my own personal opinion on the whole Holocaust situation, but meh.

The Truman Show

This is my second-favorite movie. Before I had seen it, I had nurtured the thought of my life being a TV show. When I watched this movie, I was ... I don't know what. Words cannot describe the emotion that Truman inflicted upon me.

The violence in the first half-hour of that movie is really overdone, which is why a lot of sickos enjoy it, but the rest of it is really good.

Really? Hm, maybe I could watch it again, but jesus there are parts in that movie that make me want to stay away from it :eek2:

Saving Private Ryan.
The Green Mile.
Full Metal Jacket.

Brokeback Mountain

Butterfly effect, (even if you didn't like the ending. i thought it was awesome)
pride and prejudice (new)
edward scissorhands
The jacket
Minorty report.

Busty Cops...such an emotional movie!

The threesome in the end left me in tears! (And with a huge boner...)

:mrt: :pink: :cutie: :cry:
