Movies that "move" you

[DR STRANGELOVE]

or that leave you with a huge impression... begin it good or bad.

I wanna expand my DVD collection. I am going to buy
"Requiem for a Dream" as I think it is an excellent movie and leaves you with a feeling that you can't explain. The kind of movie that actually affects you.

What other movies are there like this one? that makes you go... WTF or leaves you with a strong feeling

Here are my top 3

1. Requiem for a Dream
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Shawshank Redemption

 

[saint]

If you are into Vietnam flicks I highly suggest "The Deer Hunter". Definitely has some gut-check scenes in it.

 

[kickserv]

Murder in the First.........Kevin Bacon should have won an oscar for that film........one of the best performances I have ever seen

And if ya ever think your life sucks........just watch this movie and you'll see your life can never get that bad. Based on a true story


and after seeing this movie you'll find yourself saying "Action......ReAction" ...saw this movie long time ago but to this day that quote still moves me



other movies that moved me:

Life is Beautiful
Shawshank Redemption
Platoon
Last of the Mohicans
Killing Fields
Braveheart
Schindler?s List
American History X
Forest Gump
Gladiator
Dead Poets Society

[PaTsJaMM]

Message in a Bottle
The Bermuda Depths

 

[Stuman]

American History X
Good Will Hunting
Finding Forrester
Sixth Sense
Cast Away
Green Mile - how could I forget

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Rocky 1 When he runs up steps after finally getting in shape.That couple with theme song playing at same time was very motivating. IMHO that sound track as well as soundtrack from Fame are 2 good inspirational tracks.

Forrst Gump was good till they added the running at the end,seemed to far fetched then.

 

[Senor Capper]

Mr. Hollands Opus

 

[Justinsmom829]

Basketball Diaries
Beaches
the movie about that homosexual boy who was killed in Texas maybe, I am not positive

Miss Missy

 

[Box and one]

Movies that moved me.
Barbarella...when she enters the orgasmic machine
Big Bad Moma.....Angie Dickinson and Capt Kirk go at it
Attack of the 50 ft Woman..old one....greatest line ever in a movie"I know where my husband is.He's with that other woman".

La Dolce Vita.....Anita Ekberg dancing the the Trevi fountain
Fun in Alcapuco.....with Ursala Andress.She's not to bad in Dr No coming off the beach though.
Viva Las Vegas.... Ann Margret driving Elvis crazy.

But the No1 "mover" of all time came out in 1969 or'70.
Saw it in Denton,Texas as a fr or soph at North Texas St.

"The Stewardess's" in 3 D.
Everyone was hitting the person in the seat in front of you.Watching a 3 D movie like that.I'm surprised it never had a sequel.

I think I took this thread in the wrong way.But if it's Dr.Strangeloves,I think he's playing with you guys.......

[THE KOD]

Got to think about

Dances with Wolves - Kevin Costner

Just came out on DVD now.

The scene where he rides the horse in front of the infantry
and lays back with his arms out while they shoot at him.

That moved me.
