what films turn you into an emotional wreck? (1 Viewer)

[Rachel666]

as in not just a sob while watching, but actually affects your day to day life long after you've seen it.

For me its Love Liza and Requiem For A Dream. both left me a wreck for weeks after.


yesterday i watched the notebook. bleeeeurgh. naturally i cried but only because there was growse blatant bits where you should cry. bleeeeurgh. sometimes i'm such a geebag.

jumanji.

 

[Unicron]

The snuff film starring my family.

Movies dont get to me too often but the scenes with Max Von Sydow in the Diving Bell & The Butterfly were just crushing. The end of The Trench doesnt do me any favours neither.

Lars von Trier has a knack of getting under my skin.

Of the all dogma stuff, Festen by Thomas Vinterberg hit me pretty hard

oh that's right, Festen.
I saw that totally randomly one day, knowing nothing about it, just watched it because I was sitting on the couch.
Jaysus.

Here, there was another film, same story, just happened to watch it randomly, emm, Das Experiment? German film.
That film was pretty disturbing in fairness. One of those films that manages to escalate the level of fuckedness consistently and continuously until you are sitting there going, Please Stop. Seriously. Please.


edit, I have to say though, I thought Requiem For A Dream was basically shite. It was painful to watch alright, but making something painful is not the same as making something deeply fucked.
Saw was painful to watch. I would rate Requiem For A Dream the same as Saw.

i watched requium for a dream on my own while on a comedown... the worst idea ever. rang my ma after to see if she was ok. sob...

 

[Anarcho Munk]

Birdy....

A damn intense movie.


There's alot more...I just can't think of them. The Killing Fields gets an honourable mention anyway...

 

[evil bandit]

Requim For A Dream hit me pretty hard too, as did Le Heine and ET

The Straight Story as well, I was just a wreck waiting to see if his brother was alvie or not at the end. Old men have a strange power over me and my tear ducts.

 

[Froog]

jurassic park gets me every time.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

The Elephant man

Oh man, I really fucking loved that movie. That reminds me, I should really get it on DVD.

Another one that did it was The World's Fastest Indian.

Lilya 4ever ripped me to bits, too, but obviously for totally different reasons.

Stand By Me

 

[Yurn!]

Birdy....

A damn intense movie.
